Sue: Mom, you're not even running.
Frankie: Well, you gotta throw the ball closer.
Frankie: [v.o.] I wasn't sure which was making me madder. That Mike was bailing on the family by faking an injury or that he thought of it first.
Axl: Mom, you've gotta run.
Frankie: [v.o.] Did I? Did I have to run? I was sick of touch football. How the hell did the Kennedys do it for so many years?

Frankie: No, no. Stop. You can't go inside just because I'm going inside.
Sue: Why not?
Frankie: Because you gotta stay here and bond, damn it.
Axl: What? No way. I'm not gonna play with just my stupid sister and dork brother.
Brick: Hey, I'm not a dork. [whispers] Dork.

Woman: Oh, wow, look how helpful your kids are. I've been watching you guys play touch football. Wish my kids got along like that. How do you do it, Frankie?
Frankie: [v.o.] I could've told her the truth and spared her the pain I'd gone through.
Frankie: It's a lot of work, but Mike and I have just always made family a priority.
Woman: Oh, thanks.
Frankie: [quietly to the kids] Just keep walking. Nobody fight till we get to the next house.

Frankie: Come on, move. Move.
Frankie: [v.o.] My worst fears were about to be realized. There was one event I could not afford to be late for and this was it.
Nancy: Congratulations. We just elected you chairwoman of the winter wreath sale.
Frankie: [v.o.] Yup, when you showed up late for Booster Club you paid the price.

Frankie: What is wrong with you people? Why are you watching the same show on three different TVs?
Brick: We can't agree on the volume.

Nancy: When the kids would get into an argument, I'd get in there and give the proper tools to resolve things.
Frankie: Yeah. Yeah. Sure. I mean, I do that.
[flashback:]
Sue: Give it to me. Stop it.
Axl: Uh-uh.
Frankie: Hey, knock it off. We're trying to watch TV.
[present:]
Nancy: And Mike supports you?
Frankie: Oh, yeah, sure.
[flashback:]
Mike: Hey, you heard your mom. Knock it off.

Frankie: Hi, how's it going?
Mike: I had lunch with Stan today, corporate wants another 10,000 out of the budget. Oh, and I think your Aunt Edie's losing her mind.
Frankie: What?
Mike: Throughout the day, she called me Mickey, Milton, Myrtle. Seriously, I think she's going, you know, senile.
Frankie: Oh, she's not. All the women in our family get a little loopy toward the end.

Frankie: Okay, all right. Let's just forget highs and lows. We'll do something different. Hmm... Everybody look at the person on your left and say something nice.
Mike: You mean well.
Frankie: Thank you.

Frankie: Listen, you kids are not even trying. You're brother and sister. This is the only relationship that is going to last your whole life. You know, someday your dad and I are not gonna be around anymore. And you're only gonna have each other.
Sue: Are you dying? That's why we we're eating at the table. She's dying.
Frankie: No. I'm not dying.
Sue: Oh, my God. Dad's dying.
Frankie: Nobody is dying.
Axl: Why can't we all just die now and get it over with?

Mike: All right. That's it. That's it. You three are gonna start loving each other right now... because that's what your mother wants. Right? Is that what you want?
Frankie: [v.o.] So despite my best efforts, family dinner had wheezed and choked itself to a final, undignified death.
Brick: Can we go watch TV now?
Frankie: Yeah, throw out your plates.
Mike: Nice to have a change.
