Frankie Quote #91
Quote from Frankie in The Scratch
Frankie: Trash day! Bring out your trash!
Mike: Come on, guys, move! Trash truck's a block away!
Frankie: [v.o.] Okay, okay. I know it probably looks a little insane to be so nuts about Trash Day, but see, due to recent cutbacks, trash pickup only happens once every two weeks. If you miss it, you're screwed.
Frankie: We're never gonna make it! Brick, what are you doing under there?
Brick: I'm tired of sleeping with Axl. His bed's always squeaking. I want my own room.
Frankie: How long have you been sleeping under there?
Brick: A month.
Frankie: All right, whatever. Just get rid of your trash. You know, I don't understand why nobody obeys the chore chart. Axl was supposed to take out the garbage. Sue was supposed to clean up last night. I mean, why do we even bother making a chore chart if nobody pays any attention to it?
Axl: There's nothing on it!
Frankie: Yeah. Because I haven't bought the dry-erase markers yet. But it's all up here, and you're supposed to remember what I told you. I swear, I spend my whole life cleaning up other people's crap.

Quote from Mike
Mike: Hey. Why are you crying?
Sue: I'm just so scared.
Mike: Honey, I'm gonna give you a piece of advice that my dad gave me once. He said, "Son, stuff those feelings down. Stuff 'em down, and eventually they'll go away." And I have not cried since.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Okay, what do you think? Shades open or closed? No. Closed looks like we're hiding something. Open. Open. [gasps] Oh, my God. The raccoons tore into the garbage that never got picked up. Sue, get out there and clean that up. Okay, where is the Bible? I wanna put it on the coffee table. You know, we don't have a real book anywhere. Just People magazine. Mike, quick, turn all the TVs to PBS.
Mike: What channel is that?
Frankie: I don't know.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] I don't think I ever knew what relief meant until that moment. There was an upside to all that happened, though. I had written proof that I was a good parent, and believe me, it came in handy.
Axl: Whoa! I cannot believe that you won't let me go car skiing. It's safe. There's a spotter car that follows right behind. Oh, my God. You are the worst mom ever.
Frankie: Really? The state of Indiana seems to disagree.
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep. It was good to have it in writing.
