Frankie: [v.o.] I had to pay attention. I had to. I'm a horrible mother. Stay awake, Frankie. You forgot your son's birthday. You're in the homestretch. Just stay with it.
Brick: Sergeant McKenna lost over 200 men that day to mustard gas. Their names in alphabetical order are Edward Albrecht, George Allenrod...
Frankie: Okay, I will kill you! Why are you doing this to me?! Everybody forgot! Everybody! But oh, no, it has to come to me 'cause I'm the mom and I must be punished! Well, you know what? I've done my time! When you think back to all the things I've done for you... all the teachers meetings I've sat through, all the places I've gone, trying to get you to be normal... my account is paid!
[Frankie sighs as Brick takes his cake and walks away]
