Mike Quote #295
Quote from Mike in Spring Cleaning
Frankie: Seriously, Mike? You made a pro and con list about marrying me?
Mike: You know, you should be flattered that I took the time to mull it over.
Frankie: A woman doesn't want to be mulled over, Mike. She wants to think her husband just went with his heart.
Mike: And how many things that you bought with your heart are we throwing out right now? No, no... pro-con. That's how I do things. That's my system.
Frankie: Okay. Fine. Let's see why you wanted to marry me, hmm? Pro number one: tax break. Tax break?!
Mike: It's an all-inclusive list in no particular order.
Frankie: Number two: "Likes Reservoir Dogs." Well, we both know that's a lie. Three: "pretty." Four... "Great at"... You didn't even finish this one. What exactly am I great at?
Mike: Letting things go?
Frankie: Okay. There's only four pros on this list. Actually, only three and a half 'cause the last one you didn't even finish, and there's, like, 15 cons!
Mike: I said you were pretty.

Quote from Brick
Brick: So that's the thing about divorce. Some couples rush into marriage without really thinking about the pros and cons. Others just grow apart. In the case of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, it was distance... and egos.
Boy: Thanks, but I actually came to tell you I misheard my parents when I was listening through the wall. They're not getting a divorce. They're getting me a horse.
Brick: Arabian or quarter horse? Because Arabians need a much bigger paddock. [whispers] Paddock.
