00:00:07 FRANCES: This was supposed to be my anniversary.
00:00:53 A trip to the carpet remnant store.
00:01:40 If I don't practice, I'm never gonna get my license.
00:02:21 FRANCES: Okay.
00:03:07 a job she referred to as the Lamination Club.
00:03:57 EHLERT: Well, don't do it again.
00:05:23 Mr. Ehlert, I am so sorry. It's just been the worst day.
00:06:12 In those days they called it foosball.
00:07:06 I saw this boy today...
00:07:52 FRANCES: And suddenly everything seemed hopeful.
00:08:35 so you're going to have to help get us around.
00:09:35 Okay, Mike, I'm all packed for tonight.
00:10:26 Oh, Frankie.
00:11:28 Someone has to change the nicotine patch. She's going through withdrawal.
00:12:08 and we could have a vacation.
00:13:02 Don't wait up because I don't know when I'll be home.
00:13:57 - Thanks, Dad. - Heh.
00:14:47 Ehlert will be over me because I didn't make coffee.
00:16:32 It is the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to anyone.
00:17:40 Hey, Mom. Uh, Aunt Edie asked me to drive her to the mall.
00:18:45 Ma'am, I already spoke to your aunt, but I need to clear up a few things.
00:19:29 I had flown too close to the sun and I had paid the price.
00:20:27 I'll tell you all about it. So there's this couple...
00:21:20 And that's something you gotta remember to celebrate.
