Oh, how could I ever doubt myself? How could I doubt my posters? You know, I will reach for the stars. I will hang in there, kitty. I will go out on a lim... [falls] Aah!

Quote from Brick in Hecks on a Train
Brick: Do we have any details about the cause of Aunt Edie's death?

Quote from Frankie in The Christmas Tree
Brick: Hey, Mom. Can I interest you in a decorative crock-pot cozy? Now you can leave your crock-pot out where everyone can see and save yourself unwanted embarrassment. It's for the women's club. These glasses are the prize for being their top seller.
Frankie: Let me guess. You're using the cozy money to pay off the peppermint-bark people.
Brick: Exactly.
Frankie: Brick, you're running a Ponzi scheme.
Brick: A Ponzi-what, now?
Frankie: You're using money you don't have to pay off the debt you had before, and now you got to go into even more debt to pay off this debt. It's an endless cycle. You're never gonna catch up.
Brick: Isn't that what you guys do with your credit cards?
Frankie: Well, yeah, but we're gonna die before they catch us.

Quote from Frankie in Bunny Therapy
Frankie: So, Brick, as parents, your dad and I often talk about what's best for you. But we realize we don't always include you in these talks.
Brick: I appreciate your candor. I think I'm mature enough to be involved. Whoop.
Frankie: So I'm just gonna lay it out for you. Here goes. I don't think it's a secret that you are unique, and we want you to stay unique.
Mike: But not so unique that you get labeled as... too unique.
