Frank Quote #311

Quote from Frank in The Can Opener

Robert: Now you listen to me. We happen to have an opportunity here for some real personal growth through active dialogue. [Frank snores] Stop it, Dad! Now, the two of you have to just come out and say what's really bothering you underneath and get it out in the open and deal with it. Because if there is one thing that I have learned in my years of experience with domestic disputes, it is this it's never just about the can opener.
Frank: Yeah, sometimes it's about a jar of fat.
Marie: How could you mention that?
Frank: I'll mention it. You went nuts over nothing.
Marie: I had every right to go nuts with you for a husband.
Frank: Don't go nuts, just go.

Quote from Robert

Robert: So, trouble in paradise?
Debra: Oh, no, it's just that... Eh, why would you wanna hear me complain about Ray?
Robert: Perhaps we haven't met. I'm Robert Barone.

Quote from Marie

Marie: I'll tell you what jar of fat. It was beautiful. It was fat from pancetta and golden brown sausage. You'd have to be a cook to understand. But it was months of carefully selecting only the best drippings to prepare meals for Il Duce.
Frank: Yeah, you made all those meals just for me and then you went out jogging.
Marie: That was my kitchen! You had no right to go in there and throw out my fat!
Frank: That jar was for my coins. I needed that!
Marie: You're selfish!
Frank: Fat collector!
Marie: Oh, you never appreciated me ever! Never! You never ever appreciated me! I would work my fingers to the bone all day with the kids with the cooking and the cleaning and the laundry, and then you'd waltz in with your list of demands and not even a thank you.

Quote from Frank

Frank: Ray, I am gonna give you the secret to marital bliss.
Marie: After you give it to him, why don't you let me in on it?
Frank: You see, son, when your mother got pregnant with Robert, the hormones turned her into a nutcase. She'd cry for no reason. Two seconds later, she'd want to cuddle. She was, like, demented.
Marie: That's not true.
Frank: Sure it was. You were always grabbing at me.
Marie: I was pregnant with a 14lb baby. I needed help getting up.
Frank: Nonetheless. Did it bother me? No. Because you cannot get upset with a crazy person. I decided from that day on to never waste time trying to understand your mother. I just accept she's insane.
Marie: I must be.
