Axl Heck : Apparently, Mom was planning to hold me hostage all Christmas.
Frankie Heck : Oh, you think I'm holding you hostage? I'll hold you hostage. You're grounded!
Axl Heck : What? I've been home for three minutes, and I'm already grounded? Oh! This is the worst Christmas ever!

Frankie Heck : I'm just excited that your brother's coming home for his first Christmas from college. Don't worry, someday I'll be happy you're here, too.

Axl Heck : I looked at the terms of our agreement, and our deal has no mention of caring.
Frankie Heck : Come on, Axl. Stop being snarky.
Mike Heck : You know your mom. She won't count this as a family event unless you enjoy it.
Axl Heck : Well, okay. Fine. It's a blast. I'm having an explosion of fun.

Frankie Heck : Brick, you're running a Ponzi scheme.
Brick Heck : A Ponzi-what now?
Frankie Heck : You're using money you don't have to pay off the debt you had before, and now you have to go into even more debt to pay off this debt. It's an endless cycle. You're never gonna catch up.
Brick Heck : Isn't that what you guys do with your credit cards?
Frankie Heck : Well, yeah, but we're gonna die before they catch us.

Frankie Heck : No, Axl. Christmas Eve was my non-negotiable. You already got yours.
Axl Heck : But I made the wrong choice! Joe's party was so lame, it shouldn't even count. After we made cookies, I had to jitterbug with his grandma. She kept touching my face.

Brick Heck : It's okay. I'm gonna use the money from these to pay for the cozies, which paid for the peppermint bark, which paid for the popcorn, which paid for the wrapping paper.
Frankie Heck : How are you gonna pay for the poinsettias?
Brick Heck : Oh, these were free. I got them from the park.
Frankie Heck : What park?
Brick Heck : The park with the dead people.
Frankie Heck : The cemetery? You stole flowers from the cemetery? What the hell were you thinking? Quick, get these inside.
