Frank Quote #171

Quote from Frank in Mia Famiglia

Debra: Listen, she's doing a family tree for school. She has to interview a relative.
Frank: Your favorite relative?
Ally: No, the oldest.
Frank: Well, listen, I'm not the oldest person in the family. What about Uncle Mel?
Ally: He smells.
Frank: Hey, Debra, what about your mother? She's no spring chicken. [Ally laughs]
Debra: We've already done my side of the family tree and Ray doesn't seem to know anything about yours.
Don't you have, like, some relatives living in Italy or something?
Frank: Yeah, there might be somebody left. Most of them came over in a sardine boat but my father had a sister who stayed behind in Sicily. Aunt Sarina. Zia Sarina.
Debra: Oh, is she still alive?
Frank: Alive, dead, who knows?
Debra: It's nice you're so close.
