Frankie Quote #145
Quote from Frankie in The Jeans
Frankie: [v.o.] The teen years. The clothes may change, the hair may change, what gets pierced may change... but one thing doesn't change, teenagers suck. The crying, the mood swings, the unpredictable behavior.
Frankie: Axl, you better get up or you're gonna miss the bus. I am not telling you again. Get up. Get up. Get up.
Axl: Hey.
Frankie: You're up.
Axl: Yeah, I got up early, decided to take the trash out to the curb. Got the paper for you. That's a pretty blouse, Mom.
Frankie: [v.o.] Like I said. Unpredictable behavior.
Mike: [to Frankie] Okay, I'll search his backpack. You go over there and very casually check his breath.
Frankie: Okay. Don't look, but he's actually pouring cereal into a bowl. I said, don't look.
Mike: What's his game?
Frankie: You know what? He's 16 now. Maybe we're through the worst of the teen crap. Maybe he's grown up. Maybe things are finally about to get a little easier around here now.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Can we keep one? I promise I'll take care of it this time. [whispers] I'm lying.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Honey, how about I help you find something to wear to the audition?
Sue: Oh, yeah, right. Like you know what's cool. I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry.
Frankie: It's okay. We'll find something.
Sue: Nothing that would make anybody like me. Mom, all the cool kids have Citizens Of Humanity jeans, and I am the only person in the entire school who doesn't.
Frankie: Honey, I believe that it's not what people see on the outside that makes you popular. It's what's inside. You have to let your inner light shine through.
Frankie: [v.o.] Hold your smile, keep eye contact, see if she buys it.
Sue: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Frankie: [v.o.] Damn.
Sue: Mom, junior high is hard. People judge you for every little thing, if they even notice you at all. I just wanna be judged. Didn't you ever want something so bad that you'd die for it?

Quote from Brick
Mike: Oh, hey, Brick. The aunts are back from Vegas. They're coming to pick up Doris. Where is she?
Frankie: Brick? Did something happen to that dog? And don't forget, I can always tell when you're lying.
Frankie: [v.o.] Brick has a tell when he's lying.
[flashback:]
Frankie: Brick, did you break the lamp?
Brick: No. [whispers] I'm lying.
[present:]
Brick: Okay, I'm just gonna tell you the truth. Doris is gone. She's gone. Her wagon is empty, and I don't know where she went. Congratulations. You were right. Being responsible is not my strong suit. I'll be in my room thinking about what I've done.
