Sue Quote #12
Sue: It was a disaster! Because you forgot to mail in the envelope, my name wasn't on any of the lists! I had to sleep on the floor in the hotel. They didn't have tickets to any of the museums! I missed the state government in action! And a junior guidance counselor had to sit outside with me everywhere because legally I couldn't be left alone! Well, I'm not invisible to Miss Glover now! Oh, no, she hates me! This is all your fault!
Frankie: [v.o.] There it was, Sue found her voice. And boy, was it loud.
Sue: I didn't deserve this. I strongly suggest... No. Demand that you make it up to me!
Frankie: [v.o.] Yeah. My girl was a fighter. She was gonna be fine. And all the cheese and sausage in the world, doesn't make you feel prouder than that.

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.
