Mike Quote #359
Quote from Mike in Hecking Order
Frankie: Oh, please. Just because I occasionally call you in for backup does not make you in charge.
Mike: You ever see the godfather call for backup?
Frankie: Okay, you know what?The only reason that you have any power whatsoever is because I gave it to you. You're in a puppet presidency, mister. You may be moving your mouth, but it's my words coming out.
Mike: Oh, you're full of words, all right. But when something actually has to get done, I'm the one who steps in and makes it happen. You're the yammer. I'm the hammer.
Frankie: [laughs] Okay, hammer. If you're so great at getting things done, why don't you go down and talk to Brick's teacher?
Mike: Fine. I will. See? I said it, and now I'm doing it. You should try that sometime.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Hey, Mike, your kids have the crazy idea that in the hierarchy of this house, you're in charge.
Mike: Okay.
Frankie: Okay? Okay? Wait. You agree with that? You think that's accurate?
Mike: I don't know. I just got home. It's not inaccurate.
Axl: See? That's what I said.
Frankie: What? Why? What, because he's a man and I'm a woman? Why would you think he's in charge?
Sue: Well, he's scarier.
Brick: And he pays the bills and stuff.
Frankie: Okay, first of all, we are equally scary. We're equal in everything. We are equal. Just, look at the chart!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] It was my fault, really. I'm the one who had the bright idea of family dinner. Actually, Oprah had the idea in her magazine. Oprah, who doesn't have kids.
Quote from Axl
Sue: Do you really think it's bad being the oldest?
Axl: Are you kidding? Mom and Dad have been all up in my business ever since I was born. When I started high school, they were all, "How's it going, Axl? How are your classes? Who are your teachers? Who are your friends?"
