  Frankie Heck : What is the perfect American family? Who knows exactly?

• Frankie Heck : There's a kid in Japan who would love to come to Indiana.

  Axl Heck : Why?

  Mike Heck : A foreign exchange kid? I don't know, Frankie. We have enough trouble paying attention to the kids we have.

  Sue Heck : Do we get to exchange someone? 'Cause I vote for Axl.

  Brick Heck : I'm in. This is way better than the dog you wouldn't let me get. Can we name him Rex?

• Frankie Heck : I wanted a cultural exchange, and instead I get another sullen teen. I mean, what's with his parents sending him over here? I would never saddle some poor Japanese family with Axl.

• Frankie Heck : Well, congratulations, Takayuki. You wanted to see America? You're seeing it. This is an American family. Yeah, we yell and fight, we eat bad food, we watch too much TV, and we bribe our kids.

  Brick Heck : Not all of them.

  Frankie Heck : Give it a rest, Brick.
