Quotes 

• Sue Heck : I wish I could ask you in, but that's the price you pay when you're keeping your relationship a secret.

  Darrin : No, you're right. Once everyone finds out, it always seems to get messed up. It's like people are threatened by our joy.

  Sue Heck : That's why it's critical that absolutely no one finds out about us.

  [bursts into house] 

  Sue Heck : I'm in love with Darrin and I need to shout it from the rooftop!

  Frankie Heck : Wait - what?

  Sue Heck : We didn't want anyone pulling us apart, so we've been keeping it a secret. It's been so hard!

  Frankie Heck : How long has this been going on?

  Sue Heck : Since prom last night. I just think about Darrin all the time. And when he's not around, I just miss him so much. How do you bear the burning ache when you're apart from Dad all day?

  Frankie Heck : I'm not gonna say it's easy.

• Frankie Heck : Okay, the chimes haven't stopped. But that doesn't mean anything. Rita might not have even seen the letter yet. But she had to, I put it on her doorstep. But then, why hasn't she taken the chimes down?

  [gasps] 

  Frankie Heck : What if she can't read? No, she steals our paper. She can read.
