Quote from Sue

Sue: Brick, where are you? Brick!
Janitor: You could always check the basement. [keys jingle]
[When Sue turns around, she sees Brick in the corner in front of a flickering light. She approaches him from behind.]
Sue: [sighs] There you are. You scared me. Brick? Brick?
[Sue gasps as Brick continues to stare right ahead.]
Sue: Oh, my God! Aah!
Janitor: Cuidado piso mojado.
Sue: [shrieks]

Quote from Mike

Girl #1: [knocks on window] Axl, that was so romantic, what you did. Would you lose a game for me someday?
Axl: Uh, if coach ever lets me play again, I guess. [chuckles]
Girl #1: Hey, want to get some pizza with us?
Axl: Oh! Well... Okay. [both giggle] Gotta eat, I guess.
Frankie: [v.o.] And just like that, he was blissfully off to his next heartbreak, leaving us to deal with the mess he left behind.
Man: Hey, here's their car. Come on! Let's turn it over!
Mike: Hey. Whoa. Whoa. Uh, all right. Everybody roll with the motion and avoid eye contact. I've been on the other side of this. They're gonna get bored and move on eventually.

Quote from Frankie

Sally: Hey. You can't stack 'em that way. The new snack bar supervisor has crazy high standards. [gasps] Oh, my gosh. Here she comes. Look busy.
Morgan: Okay, team snack bar! For those of you that don't know me, I'm Morgan. I promised the junior achievers that I'd finally make this snack bar profitable, and that is going to happen! Every dollar we earn is another step towards putting doors on the bathroom stalls. We can do this, right?
Sally: Right!
Frankie: Right.
Morgan: I can't hear you! Right?
Frankie: Right.

Quote from Frankie

[After Frankie and Mike both see Axl kissing Morgan on the basketball court]
Frankie: [whispers] Call me. [answers cell phone] Six weeks. Her name's Morgan. I'm gonna snoop out some more information from the other moms. You work the stands and see if the dads know anything. Who am I kidding? They won't. Oh, my God, Mike. [sighs] Can you believe it? Our little boy's in love.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: So apparently, along with being head cheerleader, she's, like, on a zillion student committees, gets straight A's and founded the Young Hoosier Honor Society.
Mike: Wow.
Frankie: Yeah. [doorbell rings] But still, they've been dating for six weeks, and this is the first we hear of her? I don't know if I trust this girl. [opens door]
Morgan: Hi, Mrs. Heck.
Frankie: Hey, Morgan.
Morgan: Now that we've officially met and my relationship with Axl is out in the open, I realize the awkward position we've put you in by not telling you about our relationship. I'm sure you have a ton of questions.
Frankie: Well, actually, I do. Come on in.
Morgan: For starters, we're not having sex. That's something I think we should wait for, at least until college. We're young. We have to build a solid foundation before even thinking about doing stuff like that.
Frankie: [v.o.] I love her.

Quote from Mike

Morgan: Hi, Mr. Heck. Morgan.
Mike: Hi.
Morgan: We didn't get to meet yesterday, but I brought you some muffins I made.
Mike: Thanks. Are these blueberry or boysenberry?
Morgan: Both. [chuckles]
Mike: [mouths words to Frankie] [mouth full] I'll go wake Axl.
Morgan: Oh, actually, could I do it? I really want to see his sleepy face. I bet it's really cute. Oh. Don't worry. I'll just knock on the door. It wouldn't be appropriate to go into his room.
Mike: End of the hall.

Quote from Axl

Frankie: [v.o.] While my two kids who were usually happy were unhappy, my one kid who was never happy was. He'd had girlfriends before, but this was something special.
Morgan: The last seven weeks and two days have been so great.
Axl: I know, right?
Morgan: But I don't think we should go out anymore.
Axl: You want to just sit in the car and explore our bodies?
Morgan: Axl, what I'm saying is... I think we should break up.
Axl: Wh-what? Why? What... What did I do?
Morgan: Nothing. It's just... I don't know, like last week, we were at the library, and I was doing research and you just kept staring at that video game magazine.
Axl: It had a hologram of a dragon.
Morgan: Which is cool, but a whole hour? Look... You are really fun. I just think that I may need someone a little less fun and more focused, you know?
Axl: But we're, like, in love.
Morgan: [sighs]

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: Hey. Is Morgan staying for dinner?
Axl: No.
Frankie: Aw, that's too bad. I found a pan in the drawer. I thought I'd try cooking something. You know, we could always order in.
Axl: [sniffles]
Frankie: Hey. Hey, what's wrong?
Axl: [crying] She broke up with me.
Frankie: What?
Axl: Mom, I feel like I'm dying.
Frankie: Oh. Oh, honey, I know. I know. Shh.
Frankie: [v.o.] Oh, God. I forgot how soft his skin was.

Quote from Mike

Mike: Hey.
Axl: [crying]
Mike: Hey, what's this?
Axl: Nothing.
Mike: Did you break a leg or something?
Axl: No, I'm fine.
Mike: Then why are you crying?
Axl: I'm not crying, okay? God!
Frankie: [sighs] Way to go, Mike. We were hugging.
