- 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: Let me tell you something. Brick is the happiest kid I know. Sure, he whispers to himself. Sure, he showers sitting down. Maybe he licked the car once or twice. Hey, don't write that down!
- Mike Heck: I can help you, but you know what I'm gonna say.
- Frankie Heck: Oh, God...
- Mike Heck: Sports!
