Mike Quote #388
Frankie: Why do I always have to make the sacrifice just 'cause I'm the mom?
Mike: Frankie, you work hard. If you've found something that makes you happy, you should stick with it.
Frankie: I know, right?
Mike: And she's not a kid anymore. If Sue's upset, well, that's life. She'll bounce back. It's not like she hasn't had any practice.
Frankie: That's true.
Mike: And even if you do quit, it's not gonna help her any. She's still off the play.
Frankie: Oh, that's good. I gotta write that one down. You know, if you really think about it, if I'm in the play...
Then Sue's in the play.
Mike: Yeah, don't go with that one.

Quote from Rusty
Mike: Rusty, what the hell? Where were you?
Rusty: Oh, I was in my room, and then I heard the door, and then I came here.
Mike: Brick's Grandparents and Special People Day. Any of that ring a bell?
Rusty: Oh, well, I-I don't think that was, uh, that was actually a firm commitment.
Mike: [scoffs] Nothing's ever a firm commitment with you. This is what you do. You didn't even bother to show up at my wedding.
Rusty: [chuckles] Well, who has a wedding on a weekend?
Mike: Everyone on Earth.
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: So, uh... Oh, you... You want a cup of coffee? Uh, d-do you drink coffee?
Brick: Nope.
Rusty: Oh, no, no, no, no. Coffee's bad. Cigarettes are bad, too. I gotta go have both, but, um, let me be a cautionary tale for you.
Quote from Rusty
Frankie: [v.o.] So over the clutter and through the stoves, to grandfather's house Brick went.
Rusty: [opens door] Oh. Hey, I know you. From that time we ate turkey. You're Kevin. Kenny!
Brick: Brick.
Rusty: Well, if you say so.
Brick: Actually, Uncle Rusty, I was looking for Grandpa Big Mike. Grandparents and Special Friends day is coming up at my school, and I wanted to see if he could come to my class.
Rusty: Nah, they're tearing down a Red Roof Inn in Traverse City, and, uh, Dad's down there picking up 40 toilets.
Brick: Shoot. I'm straddling check, check-minus territory here. I could really use the extra credit. Hey, maybe you could come.
Rusty: Well, what are they paying?
Brick: Uh, they're not paying anything.
Rusty: Oh. [chuckles] Well, uh, I've been looking for a reason to put on a pair of pants, so sure.
