• Brick Heck : They want to talk to you and Dad about that test I had to take.

  Frankie Heck : The Waterman-Ginsberg test?

  Brick Heck : Yeah. Why'd I have to take that test anyway?

  Frankie Heck : No reason.

  Brick Heck : Then why'd they only give it to me and the kid who sets things on fire?

• Frankie Heck : Sue, what happened to your face?

  Axl Heck : She was born that way.

  Frankie Heck : Axl.

  Sue Heck : I didn't make ball girl.

  Frankie Heck : Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

  Sue Heck : I got hit in the face with a racket.

  Axl Heck : Stupid.

  Frankie Heck : Axl.

  Axl Heck : No, not her. Me. Stupid for giving my jersey to Sophie.

  Frankie Heck : [perking up]  Oh, really? What do you mean?

  Axl Heck : She doesn't like me.

  Frankie Heck : Oh, that's terrible.

  [voiceover] 

  Frankie Heck : Oh, that's awesome! Here was my opening. I was gonna get that jersey, and I was gonna get Axl to give it to me.

  [to Axl] 

  Frankie Heck : So what happened?

  Sue Heck : I got hit when I ran out on the court to get the ball, but the point was still going on.

  Frankie Heck : Oh, honey.

  [turns to Axl] 

  Frankie Heck : No, to the jersey, I mean. Did you, you know, get it back?

  Axl Heck : No.

  Sue Heck : After the guy hit me with his racket, he smashed into me and knocked me into the net.

  Frankie Heck : [to Sue]  Oh, honey, that's horrible.

  [to Axl] 

  Frankie Heck : Don't you think you should ask her to give it back? You know, for closure?

  Axl Heck : Nah. Not worth it.

  Sue Heck : And after he knocked me into the net, my braces got stuck in the strings. The nurses had to cut me out with nail scissors.

  Frankie Heck : [to Sue]  Oh, sweetheart, gosh, sounds like it just wasn't meant to be.

  [to Axl] 

  Frankie Heck : I don't know. I think you might want to get it back. It's your jersey and it's very valuable. There could be someone out there who wants it very badly.

  Axl Heck : Wait. You think I could sell it?

• Frankie Heck : I don't know. Maybe we didn't do enough for Brick.

  Mike Heck : He's a third kid. He's lucky we remember to feed him.

• Mike Heck : See? He likes basketball. That oughta be good for some friends.

  Frankie Heck : Or get him beat up.

  Mike Heck : By his friends.

• Mike Heck : I can help you, but you know what I'm gonna say.

  Frankie Heck : Oh, God...

  Mike Heck : Sports!
