Let's go!  That driver's license picture was a big  wake-up call  from the D.M.V. Somehow the life  had been sucked  right out of me. But who or what had sucked it?  Sue : Mom!  Axl : Mom! Mom! Sue : Mom,  he's not giving  my bag back!  Frankie : We  did  teach 'em the word "dad," didn't we? We're  a 2-job family . Mike manages  a bunch of boneheads  down  at  the quarry.

Axl : She didn't buy any. Frankie : Sue,  grab  a pancake. We're late. That's Sue.  She's been going through a bit of an awkward stage  for the past 13 years.

Can you hear me? - Some people  call  this the middle of nowhere - You know, one of those places you fly  over on your way  from somewhere to somewhere else, but you  wouldn't  live here. Flight attendant :   (on the plane)   Folks , right now we're flying over the great state of Indiana, if you'd like to take a look.  (nobody  bothers to  take a look) Frankie : Well, look down next time, and you'll see us down here in the middle -- Orson, Indiana, heart of the heartland, proud home of little betty snack cakes, the demolition derby for the homeless and the  world's largest  polyurethane cow.
