Axl: Don't worry. Mom gets on these kicks where she feels guilty, like she's gotta be a better parent or something. She'll take you a few times, but she'll get tired of driving you. You won't have to go anymore.

Mrs. Tompkins: Now, I know this all looks easy, parents, but social interactions can be awkward for people who don't inherently pick up the signals or cues most of us take for granted. [Frankie nods] Not knowing the right thing to say at a party or other group situation can lead to hurt feelings. [Frankie crosses her arms and smiles at Mike] First, let's show everyone the wrong way.
Brick: Hello. Can I join your group?
Zack: Sure. Henry was just talking about baseball.
Brick: I don't really care about baseball. I'm done talking to you now.
Mrs. Tompkins: [imitates buzzer] Uh-oh. It's funny, isn't it? That's because we, as adults, know it's not okay. Now, let's show them the right way.
Brick: Oh, I don't know much about baseball, but I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say.
Mrs. Tompkins: Parents, even if we're not interested in what others are saying, we can't tell them that or people will think we're rude.
Frankie: Oh. Excuse me. Is there a height limit for this class?

Frankie: [v.o.] Well, spring's a time for new beginnings, and Sue was giving youth group a try. I mean, I wanna be a good parent and everything, but it was a pain to have to drive her.

Frankie: Oh. Now, if we could just convince him cleaning the garage would get him girls, we'd be onto something.
Mike: The urge to mate is a powerful incentive, Frankie. Makes men do crazy things. Makes men marry.

Sue: You know what else is powerful? Love and fellowship and understanding. A lot of forces at play in this complicated world. It's tough being a teen right now. Tough being a teen.

Reverend TimTom: [plays guitar and sings] Jesus was a teenager too Beneath the long hair, awkwardness And pimples, King of the Jews A lonely teenage savior No one could understand Awkward on the outside But inside, a wise young man Yeah, Jesus was a teenager too Mm-hm. Yes, he was. [applause] Mahalo. Hang loose, everybody.

Frankie: [v.o.] The Heck barbecue was in full swing. Axl's right. It's the kickoff to the Orson bikini season. And you just can't turn your back on that kind of tradition.
Axl: God, what is going on? It's supposed to be spring. Where is global warming when you need it? [to two girls] Hey, come on in the pool, ladies. I'll hold your sweatshirts while you go in. [to Sean and Darrin] Dudes, you need to move more. Splash around. Make it look fun.

Mike: All right. So we're clear? A lot of back-seat grillers are gonna come up and tell you how to do it, but you gotta stay focused. Do what I told you. Keep your mind on the meat.
Bob: Thank you, Mike. It's an honor to be trusted with your grill. My dad never let me anywhere near ours. Whenever I got too close, he would squirt me with a spray bottle. [hugs Mike]
Mike: Okay. All right. Here we go. There we go.

Mike: Brick, ready to hit this party and socialize? What are we gonna do?
Brick: Look people in the eye.
Mike: What are we not gonna do?
Brick: Walk away while people are still talking to us.
Mike: All right. Mingle on three. One, two...
Brick: Is that a sports thing again?
Mike: Seriously, Brick, you read a hundred books a day. Can't one of them be about sports?
Frankie: [v.o.] I was really touched watching them. Two socially awkward creatures, one giant, one tiny... clearly out of their element, but willing to try. I just hoped they did better than Bob at the grill.

Mike: You're kidding. So you have ancestors from France and Belgium?
Nancy: Yes. Genealogy is so fascinating, don't you think?
Mike: Well, I don't know much about that, but I'd be very interested in hearing what you have to say.
