Sue Sue Heck quotes from The Middle

Sue

Mom, can I talk to you?

Frankie

Yeah, sure.

Sue

I saw this boy today at school...

Frankie

[narration] Now, I know I should have been thrilled by this. My daughter was telling me about her first big crush. But I was so tired, all I could do was pretend to listen. And then I saw something amazing, something I was beginning to think I'd never see in my lifetime. Brick was making a sandwich. Just this morning he was sick, and now, an actual sandwich! It was like that guy who got hit by lightning and suddenly knew how to play the piano.

Sue

So, what do you think? Is it a good plan?

Frankie

Uh, sure, honey. That's a great plan.

Sue

Yay! [walks away]

Frankie

Brick, did you make your own lunch?

Brick

Uh-huh! Did it all by myself!

Frankie

Hey! [narration] And suddenly, everything seemed hopeful. There was one less thing I would have to do tomorrow and the rest of my life. Brick would make sandwiches, Axl would learn to drive, and soon there would be time for trips to the carpet remnant store whenever I wanted...or so I thought.

Mike

[while en route to Chicago] What snacks did you pack?

Frankie

I've got pretzels, candy corn, cheese corn, kettle corn, girl scout cookies and frosting for dipping. It's all in the blue bag

YOU FORGOT THE BLUE BAG!

Frankie

Sue, no offense, but if I wanted to ride in silence, I'd have brought your Dad. What's going on with you? [notices that Sue is very upset about something] Honey, what's the matter?

Sue

Never mind.

Frankie

Sue, something is obviously wrong. Now tell me.

Sue

It'll ruin your Mother's Day.

Frankie

Nothing you can say would do that.

Sue

I broke a commandment..

Frankie

Oh...kay. Which one?

Sue

I stole something. I stole an inspirational fridge magnet.

Sue

Hi, Mrs. Jacobs. I'm here to talk to you about...

Are you a new student?

Sue

No. I'm Sue. Sue Heck.
