Overview
After learning that Axl text-invited the wrong girl to prom and plans to solve the situation by standing her up, Frankie and Mike demand that he meet the girl face-to-face in a timely manner to gently break off the date - or face the music and take her to the big event. Meanwhile, Sue and her friend, Carly, try in earnest to fit in with the school's "B" crowd during lunch, and after a successful first show, Brick begins to bore Frankie and Mike with his impromptu one-man plays.

00:02:38 Yes. That's why I came in, not just to get a beer.
00:03:31 I call them Sue Cards. Heh-heh.
00:04:17 and every day, they came up with the same answer.
00:05:17 Wow, another one already, huh?

00:07:15 I know. Axl is such a lovely boy.
00:08:10 Well, that's where you're wrong! You can't make me take her.
