Frankie: Hurry up. The bus is here. Finish your breakfast pizza. Take your lunch pizza.
Axl: Aw. I wanted pepperoni.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: Hi, Axl. I've been waiting for you. [gloves snap]
Axl: What's, uh, what's going on? Why are you... grinning like that?
Frankie: Well, I'm getting my dental rotation soon, and I need to practice so I get a good one. Have a seat.
Axl: I got a lot of homework I gotta-
Frankie: Sit.

Quote from Mike

Sue: Hi, Dad. What are you doing with the Disney World trip change jar?
Mike: Gotta pay for the window somehow. You know, the one the Glossners or whoever broke.
Sue: But we've been saving up this money for years. I-I've dreamed of Disney World since I was a little girl.
Mike: Yep. Shame. Let's start with the quarters. [sighs]

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: What I'm trying to wrap my head around is, Brick said he definitely heard the Glossners laughing.
Axl: [mutters indistinctly]
Frankie: But you and Sue said you heard tires squealing. I looked outside. There's no tire marks. What do you make of that?
Axl: I don't know. Aah.
Frankie: Oops. Still learning. Sure hope that doesn't happen again.

Quote from Mike

Mike: I had no idea how close we were to affording this trip.
Sue: Uh-huh.
Mike: [clinks] So close. Guess we'll just have to start all over again. Oh, well.
Sue: Oh, well!
Mike: You know, it's funny, though you call me when there's a ladybug in the house. But when a rock comes through the window, no call.
Sue: [laughs nervously]
Mike: I mean funny as in interesting.
Sue: Right.
Mike: What time... [clinks] did you say the rock came through the window again?
Sue: Between 7:00 and 8:00, maybe closer to 8:00. And so on and so forth, and what have you.
Mike: I see. And when you say, "and so on and so forth and what have you," what time have you? [coin clinks]

Quote from Frankie

Axl: We done?
Frankie: We can be.
Axl: Awesome.
Frankie: It was Sue, wasn't it? She can be clumsy. An upturned carpet and... Whoops! Broken window.

Quote from Axl

Axl: It wasn't Sue. I heard two people laughing. Could have been teen vandals, could have been the Glossners, okay?

Quote from Sue

Sue: It wasn't Axl! It was the Glossners. Or other bad teens... and so on and so forth and what have you!

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: [v.o.] Having bombed out with Axl and Sue, Mike and I played the only card we had left.
Axl: Where you guys going?
Frankie: Nowhere. Just taking Brick out for ice cream.
Sue: Um, I would actually love some ice cream.
Mike: No, not you guys. Just Brick.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: [to a dental patient] 10 bucks on toppings. He goes for all the heavy stuff the brownie bits, gummi bears, circus cookies and nothing. He won't admit to anything.
Woman: [mutters indistinctly]
Frankie: I don't know. I just don't get it. Why are these kids protecting each other?
Sandy Armwood: Remember, ladies and... Scott, today's work will determine your rotation spot. Do well, you'll be teaching kindergarteners how to floss. Do badly.... let's just say there are places I wouldn't put my hands with ten gloves on.
