Axl Quote #86
Quote from Axl in Worry Duty
Mike: Hey, there's a message from Coach Giesken. You gotta send back your medical evaluation before summer practice starts.
Axl: Yeah, I don't know. Morgan told me I shouldn't play football next year seeing as how practice might cut into our summer together, so...
[later that night:]
Mike: But if he doesn't play, he'll never get a scholarship. And with no scholarship, he can kiss college goodbye. He'll end up in some crappy job, living in our basement, eating all our food and stealing beer money. I don't like her, Frankie. I just don't.
Mike: I know, I know.
Frankie: [v.o.] I slept surprisingly well that night... I think because nature made it that only one parent can worry at a time. Nature's smart that way. And the truth is, we didn't have to worry about Morgan for long. Axl continued to date the love of his life for three more weeks... until the new foreign-exchange student arrived from Finland.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] There are lots of ways you categorize people: age, politics, religion. But when you get down to it, there are really two basic types of people in the world: the non-worriers...
Axl: God! Chill. I'll study while they're handing out the test.
Mike: The nail was rusty, but I threw beer on there, cleaned it out.
Frankie: [v.o.] and the worriers.
Sue: What if I never get my braces off? What if I'm part of some secret experiment where they're trying to see how long a person can last with braces on their teeth?
Frankie: I'm forgetting things, Mike. My keys were right here. This runs in families. It's only a matter of time before I am wandering the interstate in my bathrobe and you're using candy to get me in the car.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Mr. Ehlert: Gather around, minions. I'm throwing a company picnic. Food, drinks, games, the whole shebang. And I expect to see every one of you there with your families. [applause] It's really my granddaughter's 9th birthday, but this way I can write the whole thing off. She likes those American Girl dolls. Check with each other so you don't double up.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Mr. Ehlert: Hey, Stretch, you enjoying yourself?
Mike: Now that I've found the beer.
Mr. Ehlert: [chuckles] Well, I'm just glad I could throw this celebration for the employees. When you give, you get a warm feeling in your ticker, you know? That'll be 3 bucks. [to a young girl] Ah, the pop's a buck and a quarter there, princess.
Mike: I'll get it.
Mr. Ehlert: Oh, great.
