• Sue Heck : The cross country end of year banquet is coming up and they're holding it at the high school because our multi-purpose room has mold, and guess who's getting MVP?

  Mike Heck : Uh...

  Sue Heck : Me.

  Frankie Heck : Oh wow!

  Sue Heck : And I get to pose in the yearbook and everything. And I'll finally have a trophy to put on the mantel. It is a huge honor.

  Mike Heck : Wow. M.V.P. That still means most valuable player, right?

  Sue Heck : [nods]  Oh, and you'll need to give them forty dollars by Thursday.

  Mike Heck : Forty bucks? For what?

  Sue Heck : The trophy. I can't believe I won. Aah!

• Mike Heck : You know, Axl, I once had this big fight with my dad. Two of us didn't talk for weeks. I felt bad about it. And I knew he was wanting his car washed, so I went out and did it. And when he saw that gesture, he knew that was my way of saying sorry, and so he was able to turn around and give me something I wanted.

  Axl Heck : God, Dad, after all you've done to me, what makes you think I want to hear one of your boring stories?

• Axl Heck : Wait a minute. If I cleaned the gutters, you would have let me play tonight?

  Mike Heck : Yes.

  Axl Heck : Why didn't you tell me that?

  Mike Heck : Because I wanted you to come up with it on your own.

  Axl Heck : If you want me to come up with stuff on my own, you gotta tell me.
