Bob Quote #4
Quote from Bob in The Floating Anniversary
Bob: So, Ax, I hear you play football?
Axl: Yeah.
Bob: I used to play a little ball myself when I was your age. In those days they called it foosball. Wrists used to swell up something awful. Seems like yesterday I was right where you are now. I'll tell you, though, a driver's license changes the whole deal. Once you're out of that house, whew boy. No family for me. It's all Bob, all the time. If I wanna go to the arcade again tonight until it closes, I do it. No family wondering where I am. I'm a bag in the wind.
Axl: Dude, are you crying?
Bob: Eyes on the road.

Quote from Mike
Mike: Happy anniversary.
Frankie: Oh, honey. I don't have anything for you.

[flashback to Mike holding a "Sort 'N Save Home Coin Sorter":]
Mike: What the hell is this? What'd you give me this for? I mean, thanks, but... What'd you spend on this? You got the receipt, right?
Quote from Frankie

Frankie: It's a shame we have to take it home and let it get all covered with... life.

[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.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] The problem is, I had to work that day. But when you're a working mom, you gotta get creative.
Frankie: Okay, there's ginger ale in the cup holder. If you need anything, honk twice.
Brick: I wish I could stay home and watch TV and have you make me soup.
Frankie: Oh, sorry, honey. Wrong family.
Brick: Is it against the rules for me to be here?
Frankie: Of course not. Just keep your head below the window.
