Axl: Oh, my God. She's here again.
Frankie: Don't shut the door in my face, and don't call me "she."
Axl: You're female, are you not? What am I supposed to call you? God!
Frankie: We are not finished here, Axl. I literally need just two minutes of your time. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Axl: Actually, it is. I'm already late for Darrin's party. [sprays deodorant] [Frankie coughs] And I wanna get there before all the jell-o sh... alad is gone. Look, I'll be home by 11:30. We can talk about it then.
Frankie: Fine. I will be waiting for you right here at exactly 11:30, and I expect you to be here.
Axl: I will.
Frankie: With your full attention.
Axl: My full attention.
Frankie: And no jell-o on your breath. 11:30. I want you to give me your word.
Axl: Fine. You have my word.

Frankie: I'm sorry, Brick, but you're gonna have to figure this one out on your own, 'cause I'm over it. I'm done getting in the middle of my kids' lives.
Brick: Hey, where are you going?
Frankie: Unknown.

Axl: Somebody in our family better be dead right now, and not some weird cousin I've never met. I'm talking dad, Brick, or Sue.
Frankie: Nobody's dead, but if you don't get in my car right now, it can be arranged.
Axl: Just go, please, and I'll meet you outside in three minutes. [whispers] I promise.
Frankie: Yeah. You already promised to be home by 11:30, so I think the promise ship has sailed. Hi, Sean.
Axl: Oh! [grunts] You don't wanna do this, Mom, seriously. This is the most embarrassing thing any parent has ever done, ever.
Frankie: You sure about that? [dances] Ooh. I like this song.
Axl: What are you doing?
Frankie: I don't know. This groove kinda makes me feel like... gettin' down.
Axl: Mom, no. Don't do this to me. [Darren dances with Frankie] This is my last high school party. I can't end like this. Darrin! [laughter] [pulls hoodie over head and runs out] No! No!

Sue: I would just like to remind everyone that today is going to be our final ride together, and to thank you guys for all the good times we had, I baked some peanut butter cookies 'cause I know someone on this bus really likes peanut butter. Ha ha. And if you guys would like to thank me with a round of "For She's A Jolly Good Fellow," let's just say I would not hate that. Why don't I just get it started? [sings] For she's a jolly good fellow For she's a... jolly... [talks] You know, I have tried and tried with you guys all year. But you guys have no bus spirit. And you know what? I am a jolly good fellow. You guys aren't. You're bad fellows! [a boy whose hand is in a cast raises his arm] Yes, Brian?
Brian: I think I speak for all of us when I say please pass that test. Pass that test!
All: [chant] Pass that test! Pass that test! Pass that test! Pass that test! Pass that test! Pass that test!

Axl: You are the worst mother ever!
Frankie: Oh, tell me something I don't know.
Axl: Do you know how many years of cool you just erased with your stupid mama pajama dance?
Frankie: Hey, I thought very hard before I pulled that rip cord, but it's the only weapon I have left.
Axl: You know, you have been impossible lately. Maybe you should stop trying to boss me around all the time and talk to me like a person.
Frankie: What?! All I've been trying to do is talk to you, and you just keep running away. You gave me your word that you would be home an hour ago. "I'm Axl. I just give people my word without even thinking about what it means."
Axl: Oh, we're doing impressions now? Hmm? Okay. "I'm Mom. Uh, I never stop talking, and I'm in your face 24 hours a day."
Frankie: All right, that's it. I'm sick of your attitude! Get out of my sight!
Axl: Fine!
Frankie: Don't you walk away from me!

Sue: Did I mention that the examiner said it was the single greatest piece of driving he's ever seen?
Frankie: I'm sure you did great, honey.
Mike: Yeah. She did do great. Sue, you're an excellent driver.
Sue: [gasps] Can I drive the family to graduation?
Mike: Absolutely not.

Frankie: You are not going anywhere in those socks!
Axl: Aah! You're hurting me! You're hurting your son!
Frankie: We are civilized people. There are rules to society, and you're gonna learn 'em, damn it!
Axl: She's crazy! Your wife is crazy!
Mike: Should've put a fence around this place a long time ago.

Frankie: [v.o.] As I watched my first son about to become a high school graduate, I realized that Mike was right. There is a natural order to things, and by the time they go, you're ready.
Principal Cameron: Axl Heck.
Sean: Whoo!
Frankie: [voice breaking] I'm not ready! [sobs]
Principal Cameron: Brian Hedberg.
Frankie: [sobs] Oh, no.
Principal Cameron: Good luck at computer school.
Frankie: I'm not ready! [sobs]
Principal Cameron: Mark Hef- [Frankie sobbing loudly] Mark Hefferman. [Frankie cries] Jessica [sobbing continues] Sarah Humphreys.

Sue: [Frankie hugs her] Mom, since there's no party, would it be okay if I went over to Carly's and showed her my license? Please? I have been waiting for this day for so long.
Frankie: [exhales deeply] Sure.
Sue: Aah!
Frankie: [hugs Brick] Never leave me.
Brick: Don't worry. I won't. [whispers] Worry. Whoop!
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, all the work that goes into raising a kid the heartache, the laughter, the worry, the tears it really does go by in the blink of an eye. And all those annoying little things that seemed so important... who even remembers what they were?

Cassidy: As we say good-bye to high school, we look ahead to the next chapter of our lives and the adventures it will bring college, jobs, travel...
Brick: Hey, that guy's wearing white socks just like Axl's. Matter of fact, a lot of people are wearing white socks. White socks, white socks, flip-flops.
Frankie: We get it, Brick.
Cassidy: So in closing, I just wanna say even though I'm a pretty cynical person, I'm really gonna miss this place. As Shel Silverstein wrote, "There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part. So just give me a happy middle and a very happy start." And thanks to all of you for giving me a very happy start here.
