Mike Quote #236
Quote from Mike in Thanksgiving II
Frankie: [v.o.] So that night, several halftimes later, Mike sat down to have a heart-to-heart with his family.
Mike: So, uh, listen, the thing is, Dad, the hospital says you're gonna need somebody to live in the house with you, and, Rusty, it's gonna start snowing any day now, so you're gonna need a house, you know, without a zipper. So what seems the most logical thing to me is for Rusty to move in with Dad and help take care of him.
Big Mike: Oh, I'll be fine.
Rusty: Oh, yeah. Don't worry about me.
Mike: Okay then. Good talk. Let's see what's on TV.

Quote from Rusty
Mike: What the hell happened?
Rusty: Huh? Oh. Well, you know how it is with the economy.
Mike: The economy burned down your house?
Rusty: Well, no, that was, uh... That was a massive fire.
Mike: Why didn't you call me?
Rusty: Are you a fireman?
Mike: I'm your brother, for God sake. How'd this happen?
Rusty: Eh, well, I was, uh, runnin' the hot plate about four weeks ago, and I noticed one of the cords was frayed. I kept telling myself, keep your eye on that. But wouldn't you know it? I fell asleep facedown with a cigarette in my mouth. I blame myself partially.
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: [to Aunt Edie] No kidding? You're still driving? Well, that's just terrifying. [both laugh] You know, you're eating butter, by the way.
Quote from Big Mike
Mike: When was I supposed to know this? I only found out 'cause I went by the house to invite you to Thanksgiving.
Big Mike: Oh, no. You don't want an old man with a broken hip at your Thanksgiving.
Mike: That's true, but my wife does. Please, Dad. Please, please, please come to Thanksgiving.
Big Mike: Oh, I don't want to be a bother.
Mike: It's not a choice, Dad. The nurses say you gotta be discharged tomorrow, and they can't let you go home alone. Don't worry. We got TV and crummy food at our house, too.
Big Mike: You don't exactly roll out the red carpet, do you?
