Sue Quote #43
Sue: Oh, my God. We're going to Chicago for my birthday?
Frankie: We sure are. And for Brick's spelling bee.
Sue: Oh! Can we go to Water Tower Place and the Art Institute?
Frankie: We can drive by them on the way to the bee.
Sue: Oh, my God. Are you guys trying to pass off Brick's spelling bee as my birthday present?
Frankie: No. Sure we'll go to the bee while we're there, but your present is that you get to be in charge of the whole trip.
Sue: The whole trip? I'm listening.
Frankie: Every decision on the way will be yours. Where we eat, where we stay, it's all up to you, my sweet girl, because we love you and it's your birthday, and we feel very, very guilty.
Sue: [chuckles] I wanna stay mad, but this is better than a slumber party or chicken parmesan. Road trip!
Frankie: Road trip!
Frankie: [v.o.] Chicken parmesan. That's her favorite. Oh, I was way off.

Quote from Axl
Axl: I had the lowest of expectations, and I'm still disappointed.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Frankie: [v.o.] Americans have had a long love affair with their cars. Road trips, tailgating, family vacations... But these days, not so much.
Mr. Ehlert: America is treating its cars like an old wife it's sick of sleeping with because maybe she's gained a little weight or stopped taking care of herself. No offense, Frances.
Frankie: None taken?
Mr. Ehlert: America's bored with their cars, and we need a little PR to fix that. Everybody give a big hand to our new customer-relations supervisor, Frances Heck.
Frankie: Oh. [applause]
Mr. Ehlert: From now on, Frances, you're responsible for writing birthday cards to all the cars we've sold over the last 10 years.
Frankie: I'm writing birthday cards to cars?
Mr. Ehlert: You have until next week to do 5,000. Congratulations on your promotion.
Quote from Axl
Sue: I'm gonna get postcards from every fun thing we do for my birthday weekend, and Mom's gonna help me make a scrapbook.
Axl: Awesome. I'm gonna take pictures of every lame thing we do on this lame weekend, and then Mom can look to them for clues as to why I ran away.
