The Middle (3) a wake-up call Mike : Show choir. Wow, super. That--that should  be fun to try out for . Frankie : Now listen, dad's gonna  fix  the dryer again, but right now I just  need everybody to go . Let's get out the door. Come on. Let's go. 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!

The Middle (2) long history Frankie : When did this happen? Mike, look at this. Look at this. This is--I  haven't had my  driver's license  picture taken in  seven years, okay? Here's the old  one . Look at this. What happened to me?  Mike : Uh, well,  back then  you were all young and  shiny  and  wondering  what your life's gonna be. And now, well, now you know. Sue : Mom!  Frankie : Hey, come  in here  if you want to talk to me. Axel, put some pants on. Okay, maybe it was just a bad picture. I mean,  yikes . Mike,  does it ever bum you out  that I'm not young and shiny anymore?  Mike : Well, sure, honey. It's a  huge bummer , but  what are you gonna do ?  Oh, shoot ! I wanted  chips  for my lunch. 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...

The Middle (1) actual hero Frankie Heck appears on the road in the middle of nowhere in a superhero costume trying to catch the signal Frankie : Hello? Can you hear me? Oh,  damn it .  Come on ! 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. So how 'd  I  end up  in the middle of the road in this  getup ? Guess it all started  a couple of ...

Letter to  Daddy  (4)  say goodbye You say you  want people to connect , but  with  all the bad things you do, you're just pushing me further and further away. I'm not sure I  even  know  who you are  deep down. And I'm not sure I really want to know the person who created this website. Are you a monster, Daddy? I'm scared to  be related to you . Mommy says you love me more than anything. But Daddy, if you really love me, you'll  make this right . If you make your website go away, then maybe the world can be a nice place again! Please, Daddy, please make your website go away! Okay, Daddy. I  want you to think about what  I've just said, and until you 're ready to make a change , I think  it's best you don't  contact me. Goodbye, Daddy. _______________________________________________________ you want people to connect  - vazbu  want sb. to do sth.  už jistě nemusím předsta...

Letter to  Daddy  (3)  think about it When you really think about it, it's not  that  surprising that you got the whole idea for your big website when you were in college and wanted a way  to vote on which  girls you thought  were  pretty.  If only  you 'd  just had enough self-esteem to trust that you'd eventually  marry someone  nice  like Mommy, then maybe all this trouble  could've been avoided . You know, Daddy, you don't have to work on your website forever. Maybe you could  get a  different  job! My friend Madison's daddy is a doctor. He helps sick people  get better . I want to tell my friends that my daddy has a job  where  he helps people. Sometimes I'm so  ashamed of what  you do that I tell them I don't have a dad  at all . Seriously, Daddy, have you ever helped anyone in your whole life? Is it  all about  the money? You have $72 bi...
