Frankie Quote #45
Quote from Frankie in The Floating Anniversary
Frankie: [v.o.] And as for Mike and I...
Mike: Happy?
Frankie: Yeah.
Mike: Route 33 Motor Lodge?
Frankie: Never disappoints.
Mike: And the remnant?
Frankie: It's so beautiful.
Mike: No natural fibers.
Frankie: It's a shame we have to take it home and let it get all covered with... life.
Mike: You're right. I think we need to take 15 minutes.
[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.

Frankie: Of course not. Just keep your head below the window.
