Frank Quote #190

Quote from Frank in T-Ball

Frank: Listen, you know that "Nobody wins, everybody has fun" crap? That ends today. I'm keeping score.
Ray: Dad, no, it's not about the score.
Frank: Then why the hell bother?
Ray: Because it's family fun! Stop. Put it away, all right? I got enough trouble.
Frank: What are you so worried about? That little weenie with the clipboard? We had guys like that in Korea.
Second lieutenants. College guys. Platoons hated their guts. You know what happened to them? You know what friendly fire is? Well, sometimes it wasn't so friendly.
Ray: They killed their own guys?
Frank: Not always. Sometimes they'd just send them back to college. To the ones without a lot of steps.
Ray: So your advice to me is I should shoot Bryan Trenberth over a box of pretzels at a kids' T-ball game?
Frank: Oh, right. The kids.

Quote from Ray

Bryan: I'm talking about the beautiful snack today.
Debra: We didn't bring a snack.
Bryan: Ray just gave it to me.
Ray: Will you shut up about the snack? All right. Just shut up about the stupid, freaking snack! Here! You want the snack. Here. Take it. Take all of it. Here. Are these healthy enough for you? Plantains! You couldn't just put bananas on the list, huh? I ate two of these before I found out you got to cook them!
Bryan: I'm sorry. I, uh...
Ray: What? You don't want to share T-ball with me? Well, guess what, I don't want to share T-ball with you, Bryan. Oh, by the way, your kid's costing us the game out there, okay? Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I'm keeping score. Ooh, bad! I'm keeping score, and we're losing because your kid's out there eating grasshoppers. Okay? I don't think that's an approved snack!

Quote from Ray

Ray: I got another snack list. And I think if we just bring, like, carrots and celery next week then everybody'll be happy. Except the kids.

Quote from Marie

Marie: You know what you should do, Raymond? You're a big sports columnist you should do a column on T-ball for Newsday.
Ray: Yeah, sure. Right after my article on running through the sprinkler.
Marie: Well, it's better than just sports. It's about families spending time together. You'd be writing about something you love.
