Brick: I forgot to tell you they sent us home with graduation tickets. Sorry. A Go-Gurt exploded on them. Hopefully they're still valid. Not that it matters, 'cause I'm not doing anything now anyway.
Mike: [sighs] Brick, you don't have to perform for people to know you're great. You've always been a good kid.
Brick: Oh, yeah?
Mike: Yeah. Think about it. I remember when you were probably 10 or 11...
[montage of Brick moments set to upbeat music]
Sue: [interrupts] We did it! Brad called Dollywood, and now I can go to Brick's graduation. [inhales deeply] You want to hear the whole story?
Mike: I think we got the gist.

Frankie: Hey, Brick. How was school?
Brick: It was okay. In English, we watched Goonies, in science, we watched Babe, and in gym, we watched FernGully. Oh, and I was also called into the principal's office.
Frankie: What? Why?
Brick: He brought in all six kids that weren't originally chosen and spoke to us individually. He asked me if I really wanted to do the talent show or if I was just doing it for my mom.
Frankie: And what did you say?
Brick: I said I was doing it for my mom.
Frankie: Brick, Why would you say that?!
Brick: It seemed like the answer he wanted. Anyway, it doesn't matter, 'cause now the original nine are back on.
Frankie: Are you freaking kidding me?
Brick: Mom, I think it's over. I think you need to let it go.

Mike: [cellphone vibrates] They're letting all 15 kids perform at graduation. It's over.
All: All right!
Jim: I prayed for this last night. God is good.
Mike: Mm.

Frankie: Just had a little chat with your principal. Everybody, including you, get to perform at graduation.
Brick: Oh, I don't want to do that anymore.

Mike: [cellphone vibrates] Oh, no. Brick doesn't want to sing at graduation now.
Jim: What?
Chuck: Why not?
Mike: I don't know. [cellphone vibrates] "Brick thinks the whole thing has gotten weird, won't sing. I'm gonna kill him."
Chuck: Wow, Boss Man. That'll look really bad, you know? Your old lady made this big stink and Baby Mike won't even do it?
Mike: [cellphone vibrates] "Brick says he'd be more comfortable singing a duet with Troy."
Chuck: Sweet!
Dave: Great.
Jim: I love duets.
Mike: [cellphone vibrates] Nope. Frankie says Brick says the school won't let him do duets.
Jim: Aw!
Chuck: Fascists.
Jim: So I guess it's over, huh? [sighs]
Mike: Hey.
Dave: Wait. Frankie wouldn't...
Mike: [cellphone vibrates] She's going back in.

Frankie: [v.o.] So I did it. I fought the fight, and fairness won. Now every kid who wanted to got a chance to perform.

Sue: Dad, it's 3:30, and they haven't even gotten to the diplomas yet. Why are so many kids performing? When I graduated, like nine kids did it?
Bill: [to Frankie] Paula made me come up here to get a better video. She's crazy like that. Not as crazy as the parent who made this whole thing happen, am I right? Rumor has it some mom went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Principal Carson: And finally, I'd like to introduce our last act... Troy Tangaroa and Brick Heck. Immediately following their song, we will hand out diplomas... if we have any time left.
Axl: Why'd he look at you when he said that?
Frankie: Shut up.

Brick: I have to go to the bathroom.
Mike: Already?
Axl: Good. I'm starving.
Sue: No, we're not stopping! Mom packed me snacks.
Frankie: [clicks tongue] Crap. I forgot the new blue bag. [all groan]

Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, it was the start of a great summer. Sue crushed it at Dollywood.
Sue: [Southern accent] Follow me to your eatin' spot I will show you, and then y'all will have a great meal.
Frankie: [v.o.] Off the heat from his graduation song, Brick got invited to his first-ever Fourth of July party. Mike and I splurged and bought name-brand batteries for the remote. And Axl? Well, Axl met the love of his life. But that's a story for another day.

Frankie: We'll make a quick stop for burgers.
Brick: Well, I'm kind of in the mood for Chinese.
Sue: I don't want Chinese.
Brick: Well, it's my graduation day.
Axl: Doesn't matter. We're getting ribs.
Mike: I like ribs.
