Season 2, Episode 19 - Aired April 13, 2011
Mike warned he would take something big away if Axl didn't listen to him and start picking up his dirty socks, only neither of them expected Mike to stop Axl playing in the final basketball game of the season. Meanwhile, Sue wins a cross country trophy.
Quote from Sue
Sue: All I've got is this $50 bill from my birthday money. I'm gonna need change.
[Derrick Glossner takes the money and closes the door]
Sue: Fine! You think you've taken something from me, but you haven't! I don't need a trophy to tell me I'm punctual! I know it! You are just... bullies! You're worse than bullies! You are Glossners! You can all just go jump in a lake! I don't need any of this anymore! [knocks on door] But I do need my brother.
Derrick Glossner: You can have your brother or your trophy. Choose.
Sue: My brother.
Wade Glossner: This him?
Sue: No.
Derrick Glossner: It's the other one.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Aw, yeah! Oh! Sorry, Dad! Some records were made to be broken, but yours was made to be Axed!
Frankie: [v.o.] You'd never know it from the dancing, but Axl's team lost by 30. He did, however, set the new free throw record at Orson high.
Axl: Don't forget your plaque. Sue might want it if you die or something.
Mike: Okay, okay... You done gloating yet?
Axl: Wait. Where's my plaque? Oh, that's right. It's in the Trophy Case where yours used to be. [laughs] Now I'm done.
Frankie: [v.o.] Of course, even though they lost, every member of Axl's team did get a trophy for participating in the season.
Axl: Yes! Yeah, oh, oh, oh, ow!
Quote from Mike
Frankie: I know. I'm thinking it too. Did we do the right thing? I mean, I'm glad he's happy, but should we not have let him play? By caving, did we send a bad message? I don't know. It's a tough one. Maybe we'll always be wondering.
Mike: That's not it. I just can't believe the little bastard broke my record.
Frankie: Thought that's what you wanted.
Mike: I thought so, too, but my plaque has been put out to pasture. Makes me feel kind of... old.
Frankie: Oh, honey. How can you be old when you have such a hot, young wife?
Mike: I do?
Frankie: Mm.
Mike: Well, get her out here.
Frankie: [laughs] This cold air's making my elbow hurt. Let's go in.
Mike: I'll be in in a minute.
Quote from Mike
Axl: So, Dad... How'd it feel in the 1800s when you won the record?
Mike: Felt pretty damn good. 'Course, uh, mine was all net, didn't roll around the rim like yours did.
Axl: Ooh. You know what'd be cool? Maybe someday my kid will beat my record.
Mike: Hmm.
Axl: 'Course he'll beat yours first.
Mike: Hmm. Oh, no! Too bad. I think what you meant was... Hee-hee!
Axl: So you still need help with those gutters?
Mike: Nah. Truth is, gutters don't bother me. It's more your mom's thing.
Frankie: [v.o.] So as it turned out, we had three trophies to put up on the mantle. Sure, Mike's wasn't in the case at school anymore, but I don't think he minded. 'Cause when you get down to it, what really is our legacy? Is it a trophy, a record, or is it something more?
