Mike: Come on. Get up.
Brick: Hey, we were here first.

Mike: Hmm.

Mike: My dad watched The Hoosier Farm Report every night. And guess what I watched? The Hoosier Farm Report.
Frankie: And here's our kids stretched out on our couch, watching our big TV, eating like kings, and we're standing here hunched over the counter, eating crappy shreds of chicken from the taco place. How did we let this happen? When did this start?

Frankie: No, no. That clock is broken. Axl was playing ball in the house after I told him not to.
