‘The Graduate’
Season 6, Episode 24 - Aired May 13, 2015
After a few all too familiar slights set Sue back before graduation, she questions whether she has made a mark at high school. Frankie and Mike are surprised when Brick is offered the chance to skip eighth grade and go straight to high school. Meanwhile, Axl doesn't know where his relationship with Devin stands after they left college for the summer.
Quote from Axl
Brad: No, I totally get that. We can just have one. Me and Sue can combine ours. I'll start texting invites now.
Sue: What? No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! This is my graduation, and Brick is not just gonna glom onto my party.
Axl: Hey! Excuse me, you cannot stand there. I got an old shadow and a dork shadow in my shot.
Frankie: What are you doing?
Axl: What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to take a pretend selfie in a fake club to make my girlfriend jealous. [camera shutter clicks]
Quote from Brick
Brick: Now, should our cakes say, "Sue and Brick" or "Brick and Sue"? I don't know. I'm thinking alphabetical would be the most fair.
Sue: Seriously, Mom, you are not seriously thinking about combining parties? I mean, this is the Year of Sue, not the year of Sue and Brick.
Brad: I thought we landed on Brick and Sue.
Axl: You don't wanna combine parties with her, Brick. It's gonna be lame.
Brick: Ooh, R.S.V.P.s are rollin' in. All the kids from my social skills group seem to be free.
Sue: He can't have people R.S.V.P. into the party. This is my party!
Quote from Axl
Mike: Okay, got my janitor buddy to slip me an early copy of the program. It all starts at 2:00, but he says as long as we're in our seats at 1:55, we'll be good. Uh, Ehlert's gonna start with the pledge...
Sue: Wait. What? What do you mean, "Ehlert's gonna start with the pledge"? No, sergeant at arms always does the pledge. I am sergeant at arms. I am supposed to do the pledge.
Mike: I guess Ehlert donated a bunch of money or something. Says he's gonna repave the parking lot.
Sue: Oh, my god! That's how America works now? Apparently, anyone who donates money gets to exert influence? That is not the America I know!
Axl: Get used to it, Sue. Deception and dishonesty are ways people get ahead. What's real? What's fake? Who knows? It's like you can't trust anyone anymore. [chuckles] Oh! What's that, Kate Upton? That's hilarious! [falls off the table]
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Okay, I just gotta run into the party store and get some cups, plates, balloons, plastic table covers, oh, and Sue wants this eagle banner she saw that says, "You're soarin' now."
Brick: Hmm. [seat belt clicks]
Frankie: No, no, no, no. You stay here. You're just gonna slow me down.
Brick: Oh, okay.
Frankie: [v.o.] What was the matter with me? I was gonna let this kid go to high school, but not run a few errands? Maybe he's more mature than I give him credit for.
Frankie: You know what? I'm gonna let you take care of this.
Brick: Really? Okay. You wanted cups, plates, balloons, plastic table covers, and a "You're soarin' now" banner, right?
Frankie: [chuckles] Wow. You're right. Okay, here's some money to cover it.
Brick: I'm on it.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Okay, can everyone who's signing a yearbook please just check that the yearbook in your hand is, indeed, yours? Mine has been misplaced. It has my name on it in pink puffy pen. Thank you for your time.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Hi. Sue Sue Heck.
Miss Poltorak: All righty, and do you have any honor cords?
Sue: I don't know. What are they?
Miss Poltorak: Well, you wear them with your cap and gown in recognition of your high school achievements. Yellow is for honor society, green is for math club.
Sue: Oh, is there one for student council?
Miss Poltorak: Yes, absolutely, are you on student council?
Sue: Yes, I am sergeant at arms.
Miss Poltorak: Darn, so close. It's treasurer and above.
Sue: Oh, J.P.L.A.? School mascot? Hey! I founded Wrestlerettes. Oh! Well, there you go, then. Red is for varsity athletics. [Sue squeals] Oh, wait, I don't see Wrestlerettes on my clipboard of cord-sanctioned activities.
Sue: What?
Miss Poltorak: Looks like it's not really a sport. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. So just the cap and gown, then?
Sue: Just the cap and gown.
Miss Poltorak: I'm sorry. We're out of medium-sized caps. We only have large. Just have your mom stuff it with tissue.
Sue: Okay.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: [v.o.] It had been half an hour. It shouldn't have taken that long. But if I just marched in there and took over, how would I ever give Brick a chance to prove himself?
[Brick walks out of the store in a Batman costume]
Frankie: Brick?
Brick: Oh, hi, mom.
Frankie: What are you doing? Why are you dressed like that? And where's the stuff for the party?
Brick: What party?
Frankie: Yeah, you're not going to high school.
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] So it took 20 seconds to figure that out. Unfortunately, it took 11 hours of driving for Axl to figure out what looked like an inch and a half on his phone, was actually a little longer.
Female Voice: Stay on 1-80, then, turn right in 1,407 miles.
Axl: What?
Frankie: [v.o.] And he knew that if he kept going, he might impress one girl, but he would definitely crush another.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] Unfortunately, Mike's graduation game plan was off to a bad start... [horn honks]
Mike: What's the holdup?!
Brick: [door squeaks] Whew. Oh, wait, I forgot a book.
Mike: No, no turning back! Frankie!
Frankie: One second! She's not ready yet.
Mike: He's only holding the seats till 2:00. We can kiss the seats goodbye. Oh, good, you're here. Get in. Where you going?!
Axl: I gotta pee! I've been in the car a zillion hours.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: Just give me a minute! She feels insignificant!
Mike: Tell her we all do and to get in the car!
Frankie: I'm working on it!
Mike: Well, fix it fast, Frankie!
