Frankie Quote #36
Quote from Frankie in The Floating Anniversary
Frankie: How could this happen? I purposely put Brick in the ugliest car on the whole lot, and marked it up by 25 percent.
Man: [on PA] Frankie, the, um, package that you left in the back of the red sedan... has been placed in the green hatchback. And Pete says it needs a Kleenex.
Mr. Ehlert: Frances, what the hell is your son doing here?
Frankie: Mr. Ehlert, I am so sorry. It's just been the worst day.
Axl: Hey, Mom.
Frankie: Oh, you're talking about Axl... who is here because he got his learner's permit... and we are thinking of buying him a car.
Mr. Ehlert: All right. Show him that yellow car. It's got a tape deck. [walks away]
Axl: You're buying me a car?
Frankie: Wrong family.

[Frankie and Mike place their carpet down in the middle of a park and lay down. As they do so, a couple of kids ride over it and leave dirty bike trails on the freshly-cleaned carpet]
Frankie: [v.o.] This isn't the easiest phase of life. You've got young people and old people pulling at you from both directions. But it's not so bad as long as you've got somebody in there with you. And that's something you gotta remember to celebrate.
