Sue: Two and a half minutes left the possibility of being a cheerleader, but you know what? Even if I don't make it, it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be so fine. Oh, my gosh! They're not calling! I tried and I didn't make it. My life is over! But I guess that's just the way the old cookie crumbles. Just got to roll with the punches and all that jazz. Why aren't they calling?! Is that clock fast? Are these phones working? Why can't this family have better phones and clocks?! Oh, my God. I want this so bad. I can't breathe.
Axl: No one help her.
Frankie: Honey, you're looking kind of pale. Maybe you should eat something.
Sue: One minute left with the possibility of being a cheerleader. Maybe they wrote down my number wrong, or maybe I wrote down the time wrong. Oh, my gosh! I can't take this anymore! I should just walk away. A watched phone never rings. [phone rings] It's them! [jumps across the counter] [answers phone] Hello? This is she. [gasps] I'm a cheerleader! [screams and dances] Yes! Yes!

Mike: Hey, listen, Brick, I wanted to talk to you about this whole getting-put-in-the-trash thing.
Brick: Oh, don't worry, Dad. It didn't bother me.
Mike: Well, that's the thing, is it should bother you, 'cause Heck men aren't fine with getting put in the trash.
Brick: Oh, the bully might be winning right now, but my time will come. [whispers] Time will come.
Mike: No, your time is now, Brick. You got to stand up to this guy, and let him know that he can't mess with you.
Brick: Actually, I find that most bullies just want to feel heard. They want to feel like they're in control. And eventually, once they think they've won, they'll just walk away.

Frankie: Look, I'm not worried about Axl. It's gonna be fine. For all I know, he's been prepping for the test for months. I'm sure he's on top of it.
[cut to:]
Axl: What about me makes you think I'd be on top of it?
Frankie: What about me makes you think I'd be on top of it? You are way behind here, Axl, way behind. All your friends are totally prepared.
Axl: So? You always say if my friends jumped off a bridge, it doesn't mean I should.
Frankie: This is not a bridge situation. This time you should have been doing exactly what your friends were doing.
Axl: It's your fault! You're supposed to nag me about important stuff like this. That's the system I'm used to.
Frankie: Did you know that they've been offering practice tests on Saturday mornings at your school? Nancy Donahue told me they've mentioned it numerous times at your morning announcements.
Axl: I don't listen to the morning announcements. That's my texting time.
