Mike Quote #1146
Quote from Mike in A Heck of a Ride: Part Two
Mike: Hey, uh... hang on a second, Axl. Look, uh, before we get going, there's something I wanted to show you.
Axl: Grandpa's old watch.
Mike: Yeah. You know, for years, this was sitting busted on my dresser. You used to like to come in and wear it and play grown-up.
Axl: I remember.
Mike: Yeah. Well, now that you are all grown up, I took it to a place and, uh, got it working again, and I thought maybe... you'd like to have it.
Axl: That's, uh... Wow. [hugs Mike]
Mike: Okay. If you look on the back, it's engraved.
Axl: It's a bunch of numbers.
Mike: It's latitude and longitude of the house. So you'll always remember where you came from.
Axl: Thanks, Dad. I... I love it.

Quote from Frankie
Mike: Frankie, where are you going?
Frankie: No, I can't do this. No. I can't do it. I am not gonna take my son a million miles away. I will not be a part of it. It's just... It's too much. You guys do what you want, but I'm not going. I tried, Axl. I tried to be cool so that you'd come back and visit and I wouldn't lose you forever, but you know what? I'm not cool. I am not okay with this. You know, Indiana Mobile has a family plan for a reason. Because families are tied together. No matter what. We can't all be off using our minutes willy-nilly by ourselves. The minutes are all connected! They are intertwined! 'Cause that's the way it's supposed to be. Indiana Mobile gets it.
Mike: Frankie...
Frankie: No. And you have to appreciate the minutes before they run out. Because this is it. It's really it. [sobs] It's over. The five of us are never gonna be together like this again. Axl's leaving, Sue's gonna take some hotel job, Brick'll be sealed up in his room reading, and Dad'll blow up and I'll find out from a grief counselor! It's the end of an era. And it's never gonna be the same again.
Mike: That's the way it's supposed to be. [they all hug Frankie]
Frankie: Just promise me that no matter what happens or... or where you guys end up, we'll always stay on the same family plan.
Axl: We will.
Sue: Promise.
Brick: Always.

Quote from Mike
Sue: Oh, I don't know why I'm crying. I am so freaking happy!
Frankie: Oh, boy. Okay, hold on. I think we got some Kleenex in here.
Mike: Oh, whoa, not that one. That's the new Death Napkin.
Frankie: What? What do you mean? You made a new Death Napkin without me?
Mike: I was just jotting down some thoughts. There was an accident at the quarry last month, big explosion.
Frankie: What? There was an explosion? You didn't tell me you almost got blown up!
Mike: Well, there's nothing to tell. I'm here. If I had blown up, I'd have told you. Well, not me. Human Resources notifies the next of kin. And they got a grief counselor if you want it.
Frankie: You know what? I wouldn't need it.
Quote from Axl
Sue: Axl, you're not allowed to talk about my frozen head anymore. We have a pact!
Axl: Point taken. However, we have no pact about freezing your body.
Sue: You can't do that!
Axl: Yep, it's happening. I'm gonna freeze your body and toss your head into McCormick's Creek.
Sue: You can't toss my head into the creek! Small children play there, and they'll find it when they're looking for crayfish!
Axl: Actually, change of plans. I am going to freeze your body and put a horse head on it.
Sue: Fine. Then I'll take that horse's body and put your stupid head on it!
Axl: That'd be awesome. I'd be the coolest horse-man ever.
Sue: You're lying. You're lying! You would not be happy with a horse body!
Axl: Sure I would. I would win the Kentucky Derby and then give interviews afterward. I wouldn't even need a jockey.
Sue: Then I'll take my horse head and run in the Kentucky Derby, too!
Axl: More like the Kendorky Derby. You couldn't get more than two steps without stumbling around with a big, heavy horse head on your stupid Sue body.
