• [Sue made her own "jumping meter" for volleyball practice] 

  Sue Heck : Hey, mom. Hey, dad. W-we're seeing who can jump higher. I made the jumping meter myself.

  [she jumps and hits a level] 

  Sue Heck : Yeah!

  Frankie Heck : Ooh, that's clever.

  Sue Heck : Dad, try.

  Mike Heck : [easily taps the top level with his finger]  I win.

  Frankie Heck : Well, that's not fair. You're 17 feet tall.

• Mike Heck : [upon finishing "Into Thin Air"]  That's it. We are never climbing Mount Everest. Rich people sure like to die in weird places.

• [Sue's gym coach called to tell her parents she was accepted on the volleyball team] 

  Frankie Heck : Wow. Sue made volleyball. Now when she gets home, act surprised.

  Mike Heck : I don't have to act.
