Quotes 

• Axl Heck : I call their dresser!

  Sue Heck : Why do you get the dresser? You don't need a dresser. You're a head, remember? You don't have clothes.

  Axl Heck : Neither do you. You're a head on a dude's body.

  Sue Heck : Mom! He's gonna do it. He's still gonna freeze my head.

  Brick Heck : Don't worry, Sue. I'll be here. I'll make sure.

  Sue Heck : Thank you.

  Axl Heck : Unless you die in your sleep.

  Brick Heck : Mom!

• 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 : 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?

• Axl Heck : Okay, here are my top picks of the bereavement food. Lemon bars are wicked good. Macaroni salad was a solid "6". But whoever brought the giant cookie - ugh. It was nasty. Ugh.

  Brick Heck : Axl! That wasn't a cookie. That was my Indiana dough map project for school.

  Mike Heck : Damn it, Axl. You ate your brother's project?

  Axl Heck : Well, why'd he put it on the counter with the bereavement food?

  Brick Heck : I didn't. I put it on the counter and people put the bereavement food around it.

  Axl Heck : Pfft. Whatever. I think I did you a favor, anyway. It needed sugar.
