Quote from Mike in The Waiting Game
Mike: It's not like I go around singing all the time. It was just a stress reliever, something to blow off some steam. This whole Sue college thing is making me nuts. Frankie: Aha! I knew it! You're going around, acting like you're Mr. "Oh, I'm a big tree with no feelings," and you are just as nervous as I am. Mike: A rejection and a wait list? That's not good, Frankie. [Frankie sighs] Why can't it be good news? She doesn't deserve this. Frankie: Hey, the next one's gonna be yes. [sighs] It's got to be, right? Mike: I don't know. [sighs] It's a lot harder than when we were trying to get into school. Colleges get a lot more applications now. Frankie: Ugh. That's true. Mike: And they might take a kid that doesn't need financial aid over one that does. Frankie: Oh, my God. I didn't even think about that. Mike: Mm-hmm. Frankie: Ugh. Thanks for not telling me before. I really would have lost it. Mike: That was you not losing it? I just really want this for her.
