‘Thanksgiving III’
Season 3, Episode 10 - Aired November 23, 2011
When the Hecks spend Thanksgiving with Frankie's parents, Pat (Marsha Mason) and Tag (Jerry Van Dyke), sibling rivalry rears its ugly head between Frankie and her sister, Janet (Molly Shannon).
Quote from Frankie
Janet: Listen. Lucy happens to be very gifted, and it's a lot of work. There's dance and French... Your kids are almost grown up. How hard could that be?
Frankie: [screams] You think this is all smooth sailing for me?! Huh?! Do you know what I found in Axl's bed the other week? A gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. Sue cannot make a team to save her life, and on top of all of that, Brick is special!
Janet: Oh. So now Brick's special. Because before you said he wasn't. So maybe you should get two different flags to hold up so we know which Brick you're talking about!
Frankie: I'm not paying for that stupid bear!
Janet: Fine! Forget about it! I'll pay for the bear!
Frankie: How about this? I'll buy you a new bear when you replace that plastic hot dog you lost from my picnic set when I was 6!
Janet: Mom bought that for both of us!
Frankie: Not true! It... was... mine!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Is there any stuffing in there? I'm so sorry.
Janet: I'm sorry, too.
Frankie: Oh. I didn't mean all those things I said.
Janet: Oh, neither did I.
Frankie: You know, I think the reason we fight is because we love each other so much, but we never get to see each other.
Janet: We need to get together more.
Mike: Yeah. That's what needs to happen.
Frankie: And I'm sorry if I make you feel like I don't have time for you. I think sometimes I want to get off the phone because I'm jealous that your life seems to be going all perfect.
Janet: Oh, no, silly, I'm not perfect. It's just easier for me. I could never do what you do.
Frankie: Oh, stop.
Janet: No, it's true, Frankie. Don't you understand? Watching you as a mom was the whole reason I wanted to have kids in the first place.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: See? I told you it would be a perfect Thanksgiving.
Mike: What Thanksgiving were you at?
