Axl: That's nothing. Today she doesn't remind me to bring my lunch, and then when I text her, she refuses to bring it to school. I had no lunch. No lunch!

Axl: Okay, here's the plan... we're taking back the house from them taking back the house. You see, it's a double takeback. Starting today, we're not gonna react. We're just gonna play along. They'll never know what hit 'em. [goes inside]
Frankie: Hey, Axl.
Axl: What you watching?
Frankie: It's Southern belle week on Say Yes to the Dress. Everyone's from the South.
Axl: Oh, awesome! Mind if I join?
Frankie: Mm.
Announcer: Last week on Say Yes to the Dress...
Axl: Oh! Can't do it. No. [goes back outside]

Frankie: [v.o.] You may think Mike and I were crazy for what we were doing, but the only crazy thing is we hadn't done it sooner.
[The car radio plays Little River Band's "Reminiscing"]
Frankie: [sings] I was dreaming of the night. Would it turn out right?
Axl: Mom, can you please change the station?
Frankie: [talks] I can, but I won't. [increases volume] [sings] I wanna build my world around you

Sue: Is that the last cookie?
Mike: Yep, it is. [eats cookie]
Sue: Dad.
Mike: [mouth full] My mistake. There's one more. [eats cookie]

Sue: Oh, shoot! My bus is outside, and nobody packed me a snack!
Axl: I need a paper towel roll for science!
Frankie: Good luck with that.
Axl: [groans] Fine! Just sit there sipping your coffee while we run around!
Frankie: That's the plan.
Axl: You know, I'm pretty sure we could sue you for this. I... Well, Brick found this web site with a lawyer who will take our case for 29 bucks, and I'm pretty confident we would win.
Frankie: Oh, no. I hope I don't lose custody.

Nancy: Frankie, what's going on? I saw Brick walking to school. He said he missed the bus and you wouldn't drive him.
Frankie: That is correct.
Nancy: Oh, no. Are you and Mike having problems? Did you lose your job? Are you drinking mouthwash to get drunk in the middle of the day?
Frankie: No. Mike and I have decided not to be stumps anymore. If Brick misses the bus, he has to walk to school.

Frankie: People, this is exactly what I'm talking about. You are allowed to put your own happiness first once in a while.
Bill: Is that true?
Frankie & Mike: Yeah.
Frankie: We took our lives back a week ago, and it has been like being on vacation in Paris or Myrtle Beach. It's that good. And just last night, we kissed... on a Tuesday.
Paula: [cellphone beeps] She's asking if we've left yet.
Frankie: Think about when you were kids. Did your parents spend their whole weekend entertaining you? Did they cater to your every whim? No. Somewhere along the way, we all started drinking the kool-aid.
Mike: And how about all the weekends we spent with the kids at the zoo? They don't remember any of it. Might as well take 'em to a bar.
Ron: We took Sean to the Space Needle. He said it was boring.

Bill: Oh, God, now she's texting me. Algebra homework. I hate algebra. What are we gonna do?
Paula: Shh! Let me think.
Frankie: What is there to think about? You did your homework. You studied algebra. You made the bus. And now it's our time to take a night out for ourselves to just dance to the sweet sounds of the Little River Band Cover Band. Are you joining the revolution or not?
Paula: I'm texting her back "no." I'm shaking.
Nancy: What did she text back?
Paula: I don't know. I'm turning it off. [band plays]
Frankie: [v.o.] We're changing the world, Mike, one couple at a time!

Axl: I can't believe you are just getting home! It is 10:20!
Frankie: Wow! [laughs] No wonder I'm so tired.
Axl: You leave me alone with Sue and Brick. They won't go to bed. You're out doing God knows what, and I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be learning from this. What do you wanna hear? I appreciate you. I'm bad. You're good. I haven't been focusing enough on my grades. I should call Grandma, clean my bed, pick up my pants. What? What do you want from me? Just tell me, and I'll do it so we can go back to our normal lives.
Frankie: Okay, Axl. Well, uh... Here's the truth. This whole thing has been about... um... your grades.
Axl: Thank you. God! You're always on me about my grades! Ugh!

Sue: Mom, Dad... The Follies are tomorrow, and I just have to have that polka-dot umbrella, 'cause the twins are gonna have matching sparkle scrunchies for their act...
Mike: Go to bed, Sue. Brick! Bed.
Brick: [o.s.] Okay! Hold on! I'm just bidding on a speedboat! I think I'm gonna get it!
