The Middle — S02E03 — The Diaper Incident
2010 · 21 MIN · IMDB 7.6 · 238 VOTES · DIR. Wendey Stanzler
Overview
While shopping for baby diapers for Sue, who has run out of them on a baby-sitting job, Frankie is completely humiliated when a clerk assumes she's shopping for adult diapers. Meanwhile, after getting on Mike's case to get a physical exam because she thinks men tend to fall apart faster than women as they age, Frankie proceeds to throw out her back and hides it from Mike, who tells her he received a clean bill of health from the doctor; a clueless Sue falls for Axl's friend, Sean, who barely notices her existence; and Brick begins to test all of the age-old urban legends parents tell their kids - such as not to swallow a watermelon seed for fear one will grow in their belly - after discovering Frankie has used these white lies on him in the past.

00:00:57 Okay, I wasn't gonna say anything, but you creak.
00:01:45 Hmm. We'll try to get by.
00:02:31 She once told me kids who talk during Wheel of Fortune go blind.
00:03:29 Brick, what are you doing?
00:04:23 You're probably a small.
00:05:23 I understand. I'm a grandma too.
00:06:15 Ah, your house at night. So full of slumbering peace.
00:07:06 Hi, Sean.
00:08:10 "Getting a snack?" You're way on his radar.
00:09:05 Axl, what did you do to the TV?
00:10:10 Oh, turn left.
00:11:00 I don't know. Is it too crazy?
00:12:03 Three.
00:12:51 I'm still enjoying this carpet remnant you got me last year.
00:13:53 FRANKIE: So I decided to tough it out and hope a warm bath...
00:14:45 Your right. Aah!
00:15:38 What, that you let me use hot water when I'm clearly not ready?
00:16:35 I tried to get it out but it was too late, so I flushed it...
00:17:30 The timing is just all wrong.
00:18:26 Just, uh, tooling around with some lyrics for a song and, you know...
00:19:25 Just ask Mrs. Dr. Oz.
00:20:19 Says the man in perfect health, who's carrying me like a fireman in his prime.
00:21:20 FRANKIE : I'm lying.
