Quotes 

• Frankie Heck : Look, Aunt Ginny lived a long, full life and she died in her sleep. I think we can all take comfort in that.

  Brick Heck : How is that comforting? I sleep every night. I'd be more comforted if she died in a hang gliding accident.

  Mike Heck : No, in your sleep is what you're shooting for. You just close your eyes and never wake up. You never even know.

  Brick Heck : You never even know?

  Frankie Heck : The point is she looked good.

  Mike Heck : She really did.

  Frankie Heck : And she's in a beautiful spot.

  Sue Heck : She really is.

  Axl Heck : Well, I'm never ending up in a place like that, I'll tell you that right now.

  Mike Heck : If you figure out how to avoid it, let us know.

  Axl Heck : I already did. I'm gonna be frozen.

  Frankie Heck : You're gonna be frozen?

  Sue Heck : Ew, Axl!

  Axl Heck : Relax. Not my whole body. I'm just gonna freeze my head.

  Mike Heck : You're not freezing your head.

  Axl Heck : What? Think about it. I'm pretty awesome. If I go, the world's gonna want me back. So, I'll just freeze my head, and then when they come up with a cure for whatever I died of, they'll unfreeze me.

  Sue Heck : That's creepy. How can you be sure your head will ever get put back on your right body?

  Axl Heck : If I were you, I'd want my head to be put on somebody else's body.

• Frankie Heck : Axl, promise you won't freeze your sister's head and put it on somebody else's body.

  Axl Heck : I don't know that I can make that promise.

• Frankie Heck : People are going to be bringing food over to the house anyway.

  Brick Heck : Why?

  Frankie Heck : Because when somebody dies, you're not supposed to cook.

  Axl Heck : Why not?

  Frankie Heck : 'Cause you're not supposed to cook when you're sad.

  Brick Heck : Are you sad all the time, Mom?

• Frankie Heck : These are the moments, Mike. We're missing our life.

  Mike Heck : We've been busy. We got a lot of kids.

  Frankie Heck : Are we, Mike? Are we really that busy? 'Cause somehow we managed to catch every single episode of "Celebrity Rehab".

  Mike Heck : Hey, keep TV out of this. We need TV. We got nothing else.

  Frankie Heck : Yeah, well, no more.

  Mike Heck : Where are you going?

  Frankie Heck : Sue's wrestling meet is today and I said I was too busy. I can't be there for my one and only daughter because of paperwork? Mnh-mnh. I'm not missing out on one more hour of joy. I'm going.

  Frankie Heck : But tape "Celebrity Rehab".
