The Middle — S03E17 — The Sit Down

00:00:06 FRANKIE: There's something comforting about a morning routine.

00:00:53 - Um... - Um, what? Um, you forgot?

00:01:45 FRANKIE: Give me your arm. SUE: I'm probably gonna find it, okay?

00:02:40 - What? - Why do we have to go to bed?

00:03:35 FRANKIE: Oh, my God.

00:04:44 This doesn't need to be confrontational.

00:05:35 Well, you're a don't-do - what-you're-supposed-to-a-holic.

00:06:34 And aren't you always talking about when you were kids...

00:07:27 Did our kids just sit us down? I can't believe they sat us down.

00:08:24 We were gonna do something very similar to this before you talked to us.

00:09:28 I have had the most delightful afternoon.

00:10:44 Mike and I were free to really enjoy each other's company.

00:11:37 Is it just me, or is it oddly peaceful around here without Mom and Dad?

00:12:29 I can, but won't.

00:13:26 Look at us having fun.

00:14:21 You gotta be more responsible. Brick. Read.

00:15:08 It's working, he's calming down.

00:16:07 - But don't open the black box. - Okay. Thanks, Ashley.

00:16:50 Wait, what? That's not what I was asking...

00:17:48 This shouldn't be Of Mice and Men, it should be Of Men Killing Other Men.

00:18:39 I can hear it flapping.

00:19:30 And forget everything we said, we don't know a damn thing.

00:20:24 All of you are grounded until I'm too old to care.

00:21:18 But we could've told him. Sit-downs never work.
