Frankie Quote #263
Quote from Frankie in Worry Duty
Frankie: [v.o.] I couldn't believe I'd said it either, but the truth is, after I said it, I felt good.
Morgan: All right. Let me just get my purse out of Axl's room. Come on.
Frankie: [v.o.] Maybe it was because in the light of day, all my fears just seemed silly. Mike was right. They were only 16. And what was so wrong with Morgan? She's got my son speaking Chinese and eating vegetables. That's not exactly robbing banks and stealing cattle. What was I so worried about?
Morgan: [o.s.] A picnic? It's not exactly what I felt like doing today.
Axl: [o.s.] Tell me about it.
Morgan: [o.s.] I'd rather hang out at my house. My parents are more fun. [Frankie gasps]
Axl: [o.s.] I know, but what am I supposed to do?
Morgan: [o.s.] Fine. We'll go this once. But the next time your parents ask us to do something, you're making up an excuse.
[As Frankie steps out of the bathroom, Axl and Morgan come out of his room]
Morgan: All ready. This is gonna be a blast.
Frankie: Yay!
Frankie: [v.o.] There better be booze at this thing.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] There are lots of ways you categorize people: age, politics, religion. But when you get down to it, there are really two basic types of people in the world: the non-worriers...
Axl: God! Chill. I'll study while they're handing out the test.
Mike: The nail was rusty, but I threw beer on there, cleaned it out.
Frankie: [v.o.] and the worriers.
Sue: What if I never get my braces off? What if I'm part of some secret experiment where they're trying to see how long a person can last with braces on their teeth?
Frankie: I'm forgetting things, Mike. My keys were right here. This runs in families. It's only a matter of time before I am wandering the interstate in my bathrobe and you're using candy to get me in the car.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Mr. Ehlert: Gather around, minions. I'm throwing a company picnic. Food, drinks, games, the whole shebang. And I expect to see every one of you there with your families. [applause] It's really my granddaughter's 9th birthday, but this way I can write the whole thing off. She likes those American Girl dolls. Check with each other so you don't double up.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Mr. Ehlert: Hey, Stretch, you enjoying yourself?
Mike: Now that I've found the beer.
Mr. Ehlert: [chuckles] Well, I'm just glad I could throw this celebration for the employees. When you give, you get a warm feeling in your ticker, you know? That'll be 3 bucks. [to a young girl] Ah, the pop's a buck and a quarter there, princess.
Mike: I'll get it.
Mr. Ehlert: Oh, great.
