Bob Quote #5
Quote from Bob in The Floating Anniversary
Bob: So how was the big weekend?
Frankie: It didn't happen. Mike and I got in this big fight. He says I take on too much with the kids and my aunts. But what am I supposed to do? Everybody needs something from me.
Bob: Must be hard, being needed. I should tell you about my life but I don't wanna make you jealous. Have I mentioned I'm a bag in the wind?
Frankie: I'm just so tired. And now Mike's mad at me.
Bob: Hey, before you take care of your relationship, you need to take care of you. You're exhausted and you need to take a little break. Right now.
Frankie: I can't.
Bob: Of course you can. You deserve it. The world's not gonna stop turning if you take 15 minutes.
Frankie: Ehlert will be over me because I didn't make coffee.
Bob: I'll do it, all right? That's my anniversary gift to you, all right? Go. Enjoy.

[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.
