- Frankie Heck: You are way behind here, Axl, way behind. All your friends are totally prepared.
- Axl Heck: So? You always said if my friends jumped off a bridge, it doesn't mean I should.
- Frankie Heck: This is not a bridge situation. This time you should have been doing exactly what your friends were doing.
- Axl Heck: It's your fault. You're supposed to nag me about important stuff like this. That's the system I'm used to.
- Frankie Heck: Brick! How many times have I told you we don't eat out of the garbage?
- Brick Heck: I saw you eat cake out of it once.
- Frankie Heck: [whispering] I gave you a dollar not to talk about that.
- Sue Heck: Two and a half minutes left with the possibility of being a cheerleader. But, you know what? Even if I don't make it, it's going to be fine. It's gonna be so fine.
- [agitated]
- Sue Heck: Oh my gosh! They're not calling! I tried and I didn't make it. My life is over!
- [calmly]
- Sue Heck: But I guess that's just the way the old cookie crumbles. Just got to roll with the punches and all that jazz.
- [agitated]
- Sue Heck: Why aren't they calling? Is that clock fast? Are these phones working? Why can't this family have better phones and clocks?
- [gasps]
- Sue Heck: Oh my God, I want this so bad. I can't breathe.
- Axl Heck: No one help her.
- Frankie Heck: I don't know, Mike. I just feel like with Axl, if I don't push him, nothing gets done and he fails. But if I do push him, he freaks out and fails. What're we supposed to do?
- Mike Heck: I don't know. Maybe we should just write him off and let him be a cautionary tale for the other two.
