Frank Quote #864
Quote from Frank in Boys' Therapy
Ray: All right, so what's gonna be our breakthrough for today?
Robert: Okay, let's see. The last thing I told the wives is that we were working on Dad's withholding of affection when we were kids.
Frank: Good, good.
Robert: And how it impacted negatively on us. For instance, whenever I did something I always felt that Dad was disappointed in me. Not to mention the neglect and verbal abuse.
Ray: Okay. So what can we say as to why you were like that? You know, unreceptive to our needs and stuff?
Frank: Right, right. Why was I like that? 'Cause you two were a couple of monkey's asses.
Ray: Okay. I think that might be the verbal abuse you're talking about, Robert.

Quote from Frank
Frank: Grandpa Sal, very scary. He once made Mussolini wet himself. My dad used to tell me horrible stories about how his father used to hit him... when he wasn't hitting me.
Robert: Grandpa Joe hit you?
Frank: Sure. I got hit every day.
Ray: Wow, Dad. I didn't know it was like that for you.
Frank: It was like that for everybody. That's just the way it was.
Ray: So your dad's dad hit him, he hit you, and you never really hit us.
Frank: I couldn't. I don't know. I was always weaker than him.
Robert: Maybe you didn't want to be like him.
Frank: I didn't.
Quote from Frank
Frank: Oh my God, look at this. We gotta bet this horse. This is a big horse. A sure thing. This horse is unstoppable.
Robert: "Marie's Mouth."
Ray: This is a sign from God. We're supposed to be here.
Frank: I'm in! I'm way in. Care for a piece, Robert?
Robert: It is a good sign.
Quote from Frank
Marie: Oh, Frank, I can't wait to talk more about this. I always say nothing is more important than discussing one's feelings, and now we can have real discussions.
Frank: Yeah. About that Dr. Greenberg advised me to have a cone of silence.
Marie: A cone of silence?
Frank: Yes, I need a cone of silence around me whenever I feel "Bad Frank" coming on. He suggested a 10-foot radius. [Marie starts to back away] A little more. That's good, honey.
Marie: Oh, Chi Chi. I'll do anything if it means you're mentally balanced.
Frank: The balance feels good now.
