Quote from Frankie in Change in the Air
Frankie: What? I thought I heard my phone buzz. [sighs] Look, it's been radio silence, and I've done everything you said. I have been so good. I went for two days without calling him. I waited 36 hours between texts and not one word back... nothing. I said, "How'z it hanging?" With a "Z." It doesn't get more casual than that. I followed your stupid rules and nothing I still get nothing. Mike: Look, it's like I said before, Frankie. You're too needy. Guys can smell that, and they run. Frankie: I can't help it. I miss my son. It's normal to miss your son. Mike: It's normal for him to be gone.
