Frankie: Uh, hello. I'm in here.
Brick: Oh, sorry.

Brick: Why can't you do it?
Frankie: Well, you see, uh... Here's the thing, Brick. I kinda hurt my back lifting something very heavy.
Brick: But you guys always say I'm not old enough to use the hot water by myself.
Frankie: You're plenty old enough. Go ahead. Give it a spin. [Brick turns the tap] Yep. That's enough. You can turn it off. N-no. Ow. Ow. The... the other way.
Brick: Which way?
Frankie: To the right.
Brick: My right or the knob's right?
Frankie: Who cares about the knob's right? Your right! Ow! You're boiling me alive! Aah!

Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] Out here in the middle, men live by an unspoken code. You shake, not hug. You never pay to have something done you can do yourself, and you don't go to the doctor unless... Well, you don't go to the doctor.
Mike: I'm not going to the doctor.
Frankie: Come on. Just go in for a physical. Look, they're raising our deductible next month, so if you're gonna get a horrible disease, get it now while it's still cheap.
Mike: Hey, if something comes along, I can take care of it myself.
Frankie: [v.o.] Mike's school of medicine was not the same as mine.

Mike: My heart just stopped. Oh, there it goes.
Mike: When did this mole get here? [cuts it off with a knife]
Mike: Shoulder popped out again. [bangs it against the wall] Aah! That's better.
