Frankie Quote #570
Quote from Frankie in The Bridge
Mike: So that's it then? That's who we are now? We're just weak parents who let our kid win?
Frankie: Or... Maybe we won.
Mike: How do you figure?
Frankie: Well, obviously what this proves is that we're parents who raised a confident and independent young man who thinks for himself and trusts his own instincts.
Mike: Well, that is true. You're right. When you think about it, what we did is raise a leader.
Frankie: We really did.
Mike: In fact, I can't believe what a success this whole thing has been.
Frankie: He's an amazing kid.
Mike: Frankly, I'm a little disappointed in the other two.
Frankie: So will you agree we're giving up on the bridge?
Mike: Why would we go back? We won.

‘The Bridge’ Quotes
Quote from Brick
Frankie: I don't get it, Brick. What are you so afraid of? What do you think is gonna happen?
Brick: We drive onto the bridge, and suddenly there's a terrible cracking sound. The bridge collapses, and the car is thrown into the lake. It fills with water and sinks like a big metal coffin. We struggle to get out, but underwater no one can hear our screams. We all shake with convulsions as the life leaves our bodies. Our bloated corpses go undiscovered for months, but when they're finally dragged out of the lake, they're unrecognizable, because fish have eaten out our eyeballs. [whispers] Eyeballs.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] So maybe I didn't get Sue, but I did get Brick. I pushed him out of my body. I could push him over that bridge.
Frankie: All right. Let's not even think about crossing the bridge right now. Let's just get to know the bridge, and don't worry. We'll go at your pace. You take all the time you need.
[later, Frankie stands in the middle of the bridge while Brick remains on land:]
Frankie: It's been two hours! You are going to cross this bridge right now! Right now!
[later, Frankie sits on the hood of the car as Brick stands next to it:]
Frankie: All the cool kids are doing it. Come on, Brick. Don't you wanna be cool?
[later, Frankie bends down to talk to Brick at eye level:]
Frankie: You know, your dad may not think you can handle this, but I do. You're a big boy. You're practically an adult.
[later:]
Frankie: What are you, a baby? A wittle, wittle baby?
[later:]
Frankie: [cries] I'm sorry. I'm a horrible mother!
Quote from Axl
Axl: Guys, seriously, I'm trying to study. This is, like, my entire career. It starts with lifeguard. Then I graduate to beach lifeguard, then Hawaiian tropic judge, then rapper, so if you want a shout-out at the Grammys, keep it down!
