- Frankie Heck: We're her parents, Mike. It's our job to cheer her on no matter what.
- Mike Heck: Hey, I love my daughter and I'm not gonna have her made fun of. If someone's gonna dash her hopes, damn it, it should be her family.
- Frankie Heck: You see it, too, right, Mike?
- Mike Heck: The tornado gave us a dryer.
- Frankie Heck: Quick, get it inside before anybody sees.
- Sue Heck: So are we, like, poor now?
- Frankie Heck: No, we're not poor. We're just thrifty. We're trying something new called living within our means.
- Axl Heck: You mean we've been living outside our means? Oh, God.
- Frankie Heck: Hi, guys. Did you have fun at the pool?
- Sue Heck: [crying] Dad says I suck at swimming and I shouldn't try out for swim team.
- Mike Heck: Then I bought you a Creamsicle.
- Frankie Heck: Psst. Kid. Yeah. Come here. How'd you like to check out this book for me on your card, huh?
- [boy looks around]
- Frankie Heck: No, no. You don't have to tell anybody. It'll just be our little secret.
- Boy in Library: I don't know.
- Frankie Heck: Oh, come on. What's gonna happen? Nothing. I promise.
- [pulls out bag]
- Frankie Heck: I have jellybeans.
- Boy in Library: Okay.
- Frankie Heck: Great. Here.
- [hands him book]
- Frankie Heck: And remember, don't take candy from strangers. I mean, I'm okay, but in the future, don't do it. I'll be waiting for you in the bushes.
