Mr. Ehlert Quote #2
Quote from Mr. Ehlert in The Cheerleader
Mr. Ehlert: Trailing even the most pathetic of you is our newest employee, Frances Heck. Her sales record is minus one. Negative uno vehiculo. That's Mexican for not good.
Frankie: Well, you know, there is a recession on.
Mr. Ehlert: Enough of your communist whining. It's always somebody else's fault. The economy, your mama didn't breast-feed you. Oh, the government won't let you marry a houseplant. Now, I wanna hear some suggestions to perk up business. [all hands go up] And don't anybody say free mugs. [all hands go down]
Pete: Well, I'll throw you stragglers a bone. How about a free AK-47 with every sale? People love guns.
Mr. Ehlert: You really wanna arm our customers?

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.
