Frankie Quote #20
Quote from Frankie in The Cheerleader
Frankie: Listen, my son is a very odd kid. Books are everything to him. He has no friends.
Brick: [mouths] It's true. I don't.
Librarian: I'm sorry, but until you pay the fine, you're banned. Oh, and your library card has been flagged. Have a nice day.
Frankie: [to Brick] You know what? This is a good thing. Your teacher says you need social interaction. And besides, you're not watching enough TV. You don't wanna be the only kid who doesn't know The Bachelor.

Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] Out here in the middle, people are straight shooters. They just say it like it is. Well, I got one of those types in my house as well.

Mike: [to Brick] Hell, yeah, you were a mistake. I mean, we're happy you're here now, but you were definitely a mistake.
Mike: [to Frankie] It's funny because you're not fat, but that skirt sure makes you look fat.
Mike: [to a young Sue] Ha. Who told you Scrappy went to a farm? He's not on a farm. He's dead.
Quote from Brick
[Brick walks over to Frankie holding a book, Sorrow's Destiny]
Brick: Mom. Which part of me is my hungering manhood?

Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] If the library fines were half a dryer, glasses were a whole dryer. But luckily, the Frugal Hoosier has an optical department. And no mirrors.
[Axl and Mike stand in front of Sue as she tries on pairs of glasses]
Axl: Dork. Dork. I would never stop punching you.
Mike: Knock it off. She's a young girl with emotions all over her surface... or something like that. Anyway, our job is to cheer her on.
Axl: [to Sue] Oh, my God. Those look so great. Seriously. I think you should really, really buy them.
