• Sue Heck : Brick, what are you doing? You didn't kill another pet, did you?

  Brick Heck : No, I don't even have a pet right now. Do I? I'm planting a tomato.

  Axl Heck : That's weird.

  Brick Heck : I found it in my backpack.

  Axl Heck : Oh, that's much more normal then.

  Brick Heck : I must have left it in there from when we were learning about photosynthesis.

  Axl Heck : Ha! That sounds like a school word, Brick. It's summer, leave the learning inside.

• Axl Heck : Everybody has a favorite everything, and, in this family, I'm the favorite kid.

  Sue Heck : Ha! That's hilarious. Why would you be their favorite? You cause them so much stress, you get bad grades, you do dumb things with your friends. There is no way you're their favorite.

  Axl Heck : Oh, there is way. I was their firstborn. I was born when they still had love to give.

  Brick Heck : Well, actually, I'm the baby, so I'm pretty sure I'm their favorite.

  Axl Heck : You're a loser who misses a tomato. I win.

  Brick Heck : Believe what you want, but in every book, every movie, the baby is always the favorite.

  Axl Heck : Not when he's an accident.

  Brick Heck : That is not true! Sue?

  Sue Heck : They called you "Oops" until you were three. Look, there is two of you, and I am the only girl. Everyone knows girls are easier. I am so, so nice. I'm pretty sure it's clear who the favorite would be, if they had a favorite, which they don't.

  Axl Heck : Sue, think about it. What do you really contribute to this family? I mean, "Oops" is freakishly smart, I got recruiters all wanting a piece of the Ax. And, hm, what has Sue Sue Heck really brought to the party?
