Ray and Robert are stunned when a guy their age shows up looking for Frank, claiming their dad was a mentor to him.
Quote from Frank
Sam: The building inspector slapped me with 18 code violations. It's really bad.
Robert: Oh, that's a pity.
Sam: It's a complete disaster. I've gotta tear up the concrete floor, redo the electrical. My investors are gonna kill me. I just feel like shutting the whole thing down. [sighs]
Ray: Hey, man, that really is too bad.
Robert: Yeah, sorry about that.
Frank: Aw, boo hoo, woe is me.
Marie: Oh, Frank!
Frank: You know what I think? I think you ought to get off your pity pot and act like a man. I mean it. Give me a break, Nancy.
Amy: That isn't very nice, Frank!
Frank: What did I always tell you?
Sam: "Quit crying and suck it up."
Frank: What?
Sam: Quit crying and suck it up!
Frank: That's right. Quit crying and suck it up, you whiny baby!
Quote from Frank
Ray: Dad. Dad, what are you doing?
Sam: You're right, Mr. Barone.
Ray: Ho ho, whoa whoa!
Robert: Excuse me?
Sam: I'm being a wimp. I can handle this!
Frank: Okay, then quit blubbering. You're making me sick.
Sam: Yeah! You see, this is what I love about this man. My own father candy-coated everything. "Oh, you're great. You can do anything. I love you." blah, blah, blah, blah. Thank you, Mr. Barone.
