[Mike, Brick, Axl and Sue all discuss their plans for Thanksgiving much to Frankie's chagrin]
Do you people realize what I have gone through this week to make Thanksgiving happen? And now you guys don't appreciate... [interrupted by a car honking]
AxlThere's my ride. [to Frankie] I figured once my friends came to pick me up for snowmobiling, you'd be too embarrassed to say no.
You figured wrong. [opens door] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [car drives away]
You want a car? You're gonna have to work for it and earn it yourself.
AxlYeah...uh...I had a job. It sucked, but I still want a car, so you see my dilemma.
Well, you know, I have a job and a car, so you see the connection.
Axl[referring to Sue, who is crying and groaning from her room] If I had a car, I could take her to the insane asylum.
[while en route to Chicago] What snacks did you pack?
I've got pretzels, candy corn, cheese corn, kettle corn, girl scout cookies and frosting for dipping. It's all in the blue bag
[cut to a shot of the blue bag sitting on the kitchen counter]
YOU FORGOT THE BLUE BAG!
In some cities, cars are status symbols, but out here in the middle, it's sensible people with sensible cars.
AxlTa-da!
What is this? Your tired of getting eight miles a gallon, you wanted four?
AxlI'm a bus driver!
Wow. So, when did this happen?
AxlWell, you guys have been pressuring me to get a job, so I got a job
What do you mean? We didn't pressure you. We haven't said a word since you've been home from Europe
I know, which is actually more annoying than when you say something. You guys are always sharing looks
We don't share looks [scoffs]
AxlOk. I get it. I'm not an irresponsible college kid anymore, so now, I am a contributing member of society with a job and a salary, but I don't get paid for two more weeks, so I need you to spot me a $20. Oh, my god! You're doing it again!
Look, Axl, we're very proud that you got a job and, frankly, more than a little relieved, but you worked hard to get yourself a business degree
AxlI know! That's the whole point of this sweet gig. I am free to go on interviews in the business world
You're going on interviews with your little hairdo there?
AxlOh, my god. Step into the twenty-teens, grandpa. They're not gonna judge me on my hair, but I wish they would. You know how much disciple it took... to grow this thing out
