Frankie Quote #43
Quote from Frankie in The Floating Anniversary
Frankie: [answers phone] Hello? What? No, no. I've been at work all day. Mike was supposed to... Okay, just stay put. I'll be right there. [hangs up] You forgot to pick up Aunt Ginny.
Mike: You forgot to remind me.
Frankie: How many times do I have to remind you? Did you want me to pin a note to your shirt like a child?
Mike: No. You should have stuck it on my thermos like you always do.
Frankie: I'm gonna go pick up Aunt Ginny. Could you please remember to take the dog outside so it can do its business?
Mike: Dog's in a diaper.
Frankie: It doesn't know it's in a diaper. It'll only go if it's outside.
Frankie: [v.o.] And so that's how Mike and I had a big, old, nasty fight on what should have been the loving celebration of our 16th and 17th anniversaries.
Frankie: Don't wait up because I don't know when I'll be home.

[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: 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.
