[Frankie and Mike gasp after a rattling sound wakes them up in the middle of the night]
Brick: I can't sleep.
Frankie: I'll go.
Frankie: [v.o.] That's right. I'm talking about the 3:00 A.M. shuffle. If you're a parent and you've never done it, you're lying.
[As Brick sleeps in their bed, Mike is kicked and knocked in the face. Eventually, Mike goes and struggles to sleep on Brick's tiny bed. The next morning, Frankie and Mike stare at Brick sleeping peacefully on their bed.]
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, there's something scary going on in houses all over America, and we're putting up with it.
