Mrs. Rinsky: There is such a thing as over-parenting, Mommy.
Frankie: That's not us. No. If anything, we under-parent. [laughs] We phone it in. Right, Daddy?
Mike: I don't know what we're doing here. Are we trying to convince her that Brick is weird, or not weird, or what?
Mrs. Rinsky: I know that it's easy for some mothers to latch on to their sons too tightly. Maybe you're trying to get from him what's missing in your relationship with your husband.
Mike: Hey.
Mrs. Rinsky: Let me tell you something. You add an S to "mother," you know what you get? "Smother." And no child benefits by being raised by a smother.
Frankie: I am not. I'm not a smother. I'm a lazy parent with a weird kid. Go on, tell her, Mike. Tell her how pathetic we are.
Mike: All right. Okay. I'm pulling the rip cord on this thing. Grab your purse. Let's go.
