Axl Quote #1198
Quote from Axl in New Year's Revelations
Axl: I'm sorry, Brick. I just really don't want to go on this trip.
Brick: On the plus side, every time we see Grandpa Big Mike he gives us each $5.
Axl: Yeah, I guess, but five bucks doesn't get you that much anymore. I feel like he could kick it up a notch.
Brick: Well, he is pretty old. He probably still thinks $5 is a lot of money.
Axl: Of course he does! Pretty sure he bought his house for, like, $5. But this is untenable, Brick. That means not tenable. Okay, let me think. Hold on. Oh, okay. Here's the plan. When we see Grandpa, drop a few hints. You know, casually work into the conversation that things cost more these days.
Brick: I could mention bookmarks have gone from a nickel to eight cents.
Axl: Have they ever done genetic testing on us 'cause I'd be very interested in those results.

Quote from Frankie
Sue: Mom, I need to talk to you about the Sean thing.
Frankie: I didn't tell anyone. Okay, I did tell the receptionist at Curves, but she lives two towns over.
Sue: Wait, you went to Curves?
Frankie: Oh, no, I had to stop and get my I.D. made for this year. That way, I can park in their parking spot when I go to the donut shop across the street.
Quote from Big Mike
Big Mike: I've always been partial to this spot. This is where I asked your mom to marry me.
Mike: That's a great story, Dad, but what the hell's happening?
Axl: Yeah, Grandpa, are you sick?
Big Mike: Not yet, but it's just a matter of time. I'm sure the next few years are not going to be pretty, why belabor it? I'd rather just lie down, be covered by a blanket of snow, and just drift away.
Brick: But what if you're still alive in the morning?
Big Mike: Well, then, the next night'll get me for sure. Be a good boy and gather some leaves, make a death-pillow for Grandpa.
Quote from Sue
Frankie: Okay, start from the beginning. I want to hear everything.
Sue: Okay, well, I guess I've sort of always had a crush on him. That summer that he helped Axl paint the garage. Carly and I made them lemonade, like, every day. And I would always say, "Oh, do you want it tart or sweet". And Sean would say, "I want it sweet, just like you, Suzy Q".
Frankie: Aww!
Sue: But then I dated Darrin in high school.
Frankie: Ugh. I can say that now.
Sue: But over the past couple years, we've gotten to know each other more, and he is always so nice and he shows up when I need a date for things. And I never thought that he viewed me as more than a friend, but last night... we kissed. [ornament shatters] Oh, my gosh, are you okay?
Frankie: Yeah, just bleeding. Keep talking. I want to hear the details.
Sue: Okay.
Frankie: So how was the kiss? I've always imagined he's a good kisser... That sounds bad.
Sue: It was amazing! I don't even know how to describe it. Okay, remember when we were driving to Axl's baseball game and I saw a pack of baby deer running underneath that double rainbow? It was like that, expect Dad wasn't yelling, "We're not pulling over".
