Brick: So for my future reference, what happens in college? How exactly does the whole summer thing work? What happens to Hutch?
Axl: Well, he goes back to his house in Chicago.
Brick: So what happens to Devin?
Axl: Goes back to her house in Idaho.
Brick: So you guys aren't dating anymore?
Axl: No... Well, no, we're... still together.
Brick: Oh, so you talked about it?
Axl: No. See, that's what makes Devin so cool. We don't have to talk everything to death. It just is. Some girls will be all over you, like, "What are we doing? What's our relationship?" But Devin's not like that. She's cool.
Brick: So she could date other people?
Axl: [scoffs] Yeah, I mean, technically, she could, but she's not. I mean, I could, too, if I wanted to. But I'm not, but I mean, I could. So, whatever, it's cool. Totally cool. [sucks lip]

Frankie: Okay, you're not gonna believe the school meeting I just had.
Mike: Well, the good part is he can't be tried as an adult.
Frankie: No, no, no. They think he's so smart, they want him to skip eighth grade and go right into high school.
Mike: What? That's nuts. Why would we agree to that?
Frankie: You should've heard the principal. He said Brick's extra smart. His brain is superior to the other kids. I mean, we don't want him to be bored.
Mike: Eh, I don't like the idea. He's got no friends in middle school, you think he's gonna make friends in high school? Plus all the kids'll be bigger. You can forget about him making any teams.
Frankie: Oh, would you give that up already? That's not happening. He threw out his shoulder tossing a dart.
Mike: Hey, if you let go of thinkin' we're gonna have bowls of fresh fruit in the house, I'll let go of sports.

Mike: Look, Brick, here's the deal, your mom had a meeting with your principal.
Brick: I didn't do it. I'm not doing that anymore.
Mike: [clicks teeth] Well, whatever it was, you clearly got away with it, so let us just tell you what the meeting was about.
Frankie: They think maybe you're ready to skip eighth grade and go straight in high school.
Brick: Really? Hmm. Okay, sounds good.
Mike: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's kind of a big decision. Don't you wanna think about it?
Brick: Well, the truth is I am kind of bored in middle school, and the boys in my class are really childish. They draw boobs on everything.
Mike: Yeah, I'm not really sure that's gonna change in high school.
Brick: You know, I was kinda dreading the eighth grade. But now I might even look forward to the fall. And now it's even less likely there'll be any repercussions from the... Well, you said you didn't wanna know.

Sue: Well, my yearbook is missing, and apparently, three bites of a roast beef sandwich robbed me my chance of the attendance award. The Year of Sue is not ending well, people. Not ending well at all!
Brick: Hey, wait a minute. If I'm skipping the eighth grade, technically, that means I'm graduating this year, too. Shouldn't I have a party?
Frankie: [exhales] Brick, I can barely scrape the funds together for one party. I am this close to frosting a loaf of bread and passing it off as a cake.

Axl: Brick, look at this.
Brick: [groans] No way, Axl. I've fallen for that joke too many times.
Axl: No, it's not that. Now she's rock climbing with some bearded dude.
Brick: The kayaking guy?
Axl: No, this is a new one. Look.
Brick: [sighs] Whoa. Damn. Is that his arm? So muscular. I thought it was a leg.
Axl: I know, Brick, I'm freakin' out here. I keep texting her, but she just responds with these one-word answers. I say, uh, "What are you doin' today?" She says, "Nothin'." I say, "You enjoying your summer?" She says, "Ya." "Ya"? What even is that? I blew it, Brick! And now she's dating these action dudes, and I'm in a club in my kitchen! [groans] You know what? I gotta tell her how I feel. That's it. I'm driving to Idaho to get my woman back!
Brick: You can't drive all the way to Idaho. You'll miss Sue's graduation.
Axl: I'll drive fast. I'll put it in my G.P.S. Hmm? Here, this look right to you?
Brick: Oh, Axl, disgusting!
Axl: Never not funny!

Frankie: Sue? What's goin' on? Why aren't you ready?
Sue: I don't know if I should even go. I'm not going. What's the point?
Frankie: What? What are you talking about?
Sue: I have no legacy, mom. [Frankie sighs] It's like I didn't even exist. [horn honks]
Frankie: Oh, honey, is this something we could talk about on the way to the ceremony?
Sue: I don't have a cord or a yearbook or an attendance plaque. I won't be saying the pledge, and I can't go back and watch Wrestlerette practice because there will be no Wrestlerettes. All I wanted to do was make a difference and leave a mark, and I didn't. It's like I wasn't even there. I just feel insignificant. [horn honks]
Frankie: [sighs] One second.

Mike: Hey, kid.
Sue: Hey, Dad.
Mike: [sighs] Got you a little something.
Sue: Aw, you didn't have to get me anything. This whole party was my present.
Mike: Mm-hmm.
Sue: Calendars?
Mike: Well, I don't know. I figured maybe every year could be the Year of Sue.
Sue: Oh, Dad!

Frankie: So glad we had a girl.
Mike: Well, hang on to that feeling, 'cause that was Brick's school. They want us to come in for a meeting.
Frankie: [groans] Stupid boys.

Axl: Sue, will you look at this?
Sue: No way, Axl. I have fallen for that joke too many times.
Axl: No, relax, it's not that. It's a picture on Instagram of Devin and some dude.
Sue: Damn. I didn't know you could carry a kayak with one arm.
Axl: Yeah. I know. But if you saw this guy, you'd think he was a total tool, right?
Sue: Yeah, probably. A smokin' hot tool who's kayaking with your girlfriend.
Axl: If she even is my girlfriend.
Sue: What do you mean? How did you leave it over summer?
Axl: [sighs heavily] We didn't say anything. Well, she's cool, okay? I mean, she's not clingy. That's why she's awesome. She's like a guy. We're keepin' it loose. She's cool!
Sue: Okay.
Axl: Fine. What do you think of this picture?
Sue: Ew! Axl, gross!
Axl: [laughs] That is never not funny.

Sue: Oh, hi, principal Cameron. Are you guys still open?
Principal Cameron: Yes, yes, just faxing my resumée to TGI Friday's for the summer. Fingers crossed.
Sue: [chuckles] I actually just wanted to check in on my attendance award.
Principal Cameron: Oh, are you Lynnette Perry?
Sue: No. I'm Sue Heck.
Principal Cameron: Mm.
Sue: You might know me as Ana Hajarajanaan?
Principal Cameron: I'm fairly sure that Lynnette Perry is getting the attendance award.
Sue: No.
Principal Cameron: Ah, yes. Ah, she only missed a single day.
Sue: But I only missed a single day.
Principal Cameron: [typing] No. No, it says here that you've snuck off campus another day to go to lunch at...
[key clicks] Arby's, was it?
Sue: But I didn't even finish my sandwich. You don't understand. Winning this award has been a goal of mine for years. I mean, I came to school against doctor's orders so many times.
Principal Cameron: Yes, and then apparently, you went to Arby's. But... If you go back, would you drop this off for me? And tell them that I have a degree in higher education.
Sue: Did anybody find a yearbook?
