Mike Heck:
Hey, Sue?

Sue Heck:
Hm?

Mike Heck:
You ever feel bad that I never, you know, made you Super Daddy pancakes?

Sue Heck:
No. Why?

Mike Heck:
Well, I don't know. That - that guy and his daughter are always doing stuff together. Did you ever wish I was, you know, more like him?

Sue Heck:
Wha - ? Dad, no. Why would you even say that? You're amazing. My whole life you made sure my bike tires were pumped; you let me ride on your shoulders when I cleaned out the gutter. Whenever Mom yells "I just can't do it anymore", you make my lunch for a few days. And, best of all, when you find a pretty rock at the quarry, you always bring it home for me. I mean, come on, nobody else's dad does that. You're the greatest dad in the whole world. Hello? That's why I got you the mug - "World's Greatest Dad." Mugs don't lie.

Mike Heck:
You remember all that stuff?

Sue Heck:
Of course. I don't want some bouncy, pancake dad. If I did, it wouldn't be you.
