Mike Quote #97
Quote from Mike in Valentine's Day
Frankie: You were invited to a boy-girl party?
Sue: Uh-huh. By an eighth grader. He asked Carly to come, and she asked if she could bring a friend, and the guy said yes.
Mike: [o.s.] No boy-girl parties.
Sue: Mom, that is totally unfair. We're, like, the only two people in the class that haven't been to one yet. And then all of a sudden Carly got invited, and now this is our chance. Please, Mom, please.
Frankie: I didn't say that you couldn't. But your dad and I have to discuss it.
Mike: No boy-girl parties. End of discussion.
Sue: Axl was going to boy-girl parties when he was 12.
Mike: Yeah, well, we were bad parents then. We've learned from our mistakes.
Sue: I am growing up. Why can't you trust that the values you've instilled are strong enough to keep me from making bad decisions?
Frankie: Mike, she's in junior high now. She's ready.
Mike: But I'm not.
Frankie: Oh. [Mike nods his approval] [Sue squeals]

Quote from Mike
Mike: Don't move. Where's my daughter? Sue Heck. Sue Heck. I know you're in here. [all murmuring] I told you I didn't want you to come here tonight. We are leaving immediately. And if I ever catch you sneaking out of the house again...
Sue: Huh?
Mike: Ah! And it's not gonna help for you to beg me to let you stay just one more hour. [winks at Sue]
Sue: Oh, my God, you're the worst dad ever. Can you believe this? Just as the party was getting good. Man, this stinks.
Carly: Mr. Heck? My dad didn't want me to come here either, did he?
Mike: No, he did not. You're coming with us. Get in the car.
Carly: Thank you so much, Mr. Heck.
Mike: Be cool, you're blowing our cover.

Quote from Mike
Frankie: New idea. Let's each name our five favorite moments of our marriage. But you can't use our wedding day or the birth of our kids.
Mike: I wasn't going to. [chuckles]
