Life Skills (2013)

Patricia Heaton: Frankie Heck

Quotes 

• Axl Heck : ...And another thing, why are you always raising your hand and asking questions like a dork? Stare at the clock and wait for the bell to ring like a normal person.

  Sue Heck : Excuse me if I like to participate.

  Frankie Heck : What's going on?

  Axl Heck : So I'm sitting in my Life Skills class, minding my own business, when Hurricane Sue rolls in blowing geek and raining nerd everywhere.

  Sue Heck : What are you even doing in that class? It's for freshmen and sophomores only, not loser seniors who missed it 'cause they were taking Math two times.

  Axl Heck : Ha! It was English I took twice. Who's the idiot now?

• Brick Heck : Hello, Mother. Hello, Father. So now I need a therapist? Am I really that weird?

  Frankie Heck : Look, you're no weirder than you've ever been. It's just that suddenly the school seems to care.

  Brick Heck : Don't you think that's something we should talk about? What happened to "You're growing up, Brick. We should include you in the conversations, Brick."?

  Mike Heck : It's good for you, and it's free. You're doing it.

• Axl Heck : Got a really big project tomorrow, so I'm just gonna watch a few hours of TV to get the brain fired up, and get started.

  Sue Heck : Don't bother. It's already done and tied up and stuffed in a bag by the door. As should you be for your lackluster effort.

  Frankie Heck : Wait. Wasn't this project both of yours?

  Sue Heck : Yes.

  Axl Heck : Yes. But I guess she went ahead and did it without me. Can you believe this? I was so looking forward to learning, and she robbed me of that. She's so selfish!

• Wendell : Looks like the incident of January 10th is not covered under Acts of God.

  Mike Heck : What?

  Frankie Heck : What? A tree branch fell down on our car. How is that not an Act of God? Tree - made by God, blown down by the wind - more God. That's actually double Act of God. We should be getting two checks.
