Frankie Quote #46
Quote from Frankie in The Trip
Frankie: [v.o.] Here in the middle, we have a long tradition of kids raising money for their school by hitting up their neighbors to buy crap they don't want or need. Following in that great tradition, Sue was selling cheese and sausage for Orson Junior High.
Sue: Four exciting varieties of sausage to match whatever sausage mood you may find yourself in.
Frankie: [v.o.] I think what makes Sue such a good seller is that she can take rejection. Probably because she's had so much practice.
Sue: [as the man closes his front door] Or maybe you'd prefer our "Show Your Love With Cheese" cheese ball with faux granite cutting board. I'll just wait here at the door a while in case you change your mind.
Frankie: [v.o.] Let me tell you, when it comes to selling cheese and sausage, Sue was driven. She was driven by Mike all over Indiana.
Mike: Hey, hey!
Frankie: [v.o.] Mike took her to Terre Haute. They went to Gary. She hit almost every county in the state. Because if she sells $3000 worth, she wins a free trip all the way to Indianapolis.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: I have got to fix this. Sue has to stand up for herself. If this isn't worth the fight, Mike, I don't know what is. Hey, Sue! Get in here! You know what this is? A teachable moment. I saw that on Oprah. Or Project Runway or something. I don't remember, but it's teachable.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Sue: Hi, Mr. Ehlert. Would you like to help...
Mr. Ehlert: No. Frances, you forgot to make coffee again. You got me walking like an idiot with a donut and nothing to dunk it in.
Frankie: Mr. Ehlert, how come I'm the one who's always asked to make the coffee? I'm beginning to think it's because I'm a woman.
Mr. Ehlert: Heh, of course it's because you're a woman! The day I start telling men to make coffee for women, you have my permission to put a bullet in my head. [chuckles]
Quote from Sue
Frankie: [v.o.] Unfortunately, I could believe it. This was Sue's whole life in a nutshell. She tries and tries and never gets any recognition. It's like people don't even see her.
[flashback to a teacher taking attendance:]

[flashback to the cafeteria:]
