Frankie Quote #966
Quote from Frankie in The Friend
Frankie: [v.o.] I thought about it, and Mike's right. I stepped over the line with Jeff. So I did what I should have done right from the beginning... I called his wife.
Frankie: [on the phone] Hi, Colleen, it's Frankie, your neighbor. I hope you don't mind me leaving a message on your cell, but... Well, I was a bit of a dope, and I called Jeff so he would call Mike again, and Mike found out. And I promised him I wouldn't call Jeff again. So that's why I'm reaching out to you, just wife-to-wife. 'Cause it would be silly if they didn't get together because of what I did. So if you could tell your husband to just call my husband so they could grab another beer, that would be great.
Frankie: [on the phone] Hi. It's Frankie calling back real quick. Now that I thought about it, maybe don't tell Jeff I called you, 'cause that might be weird.
Frankie: [on the phone] Hi. Frankie again. You know how I said in the last message not to tell Jeff I called you? I realized I shouldn't ask you to lie to your husband. So however you wanna handle it amongst yourselves is your business, but how 'bout no one tell Mike? [laughs] Just let's none of us tell Mike, okay?
Frankie: [on the phone] Sorry to call back again, but I just wanna be super-duper clear. 'cause you don't really know me, and I don't want you to think I keep secrets from my husband. 'cause I don't. We have a very good marriage. I mean, everybody has their problems. But I mean, it's good. No, it's solid.
Frankie: [on the phone] I feel like I'm starting to sound crazy. But someone who knows they're crazy isn't really crazy, right? Like Hitler.
Frankie: [on the phone] Oh, God, I just realized I mentioned Hitler, and that's really inappropriate. I don't even know if you're Jewish. Doesn't matter. Hitler's horrible for everybody. You know what? Let's just start over. You can tell Jeff whatever you want...

Quote from Frankie
Jeff: Hey, Frankie! Told you. Never forget.
Frankie: Oh. You out getting some exercise?
Jeff: [laughs] No. I was just returning those casserole dishes to the Donahues. You didn't want that paper plate back, did you?
Frankie: Oh, no. That is our gift to you. [both laugh] You know, Jeff, this might sound weird, but you're really friendly, and my husband... well, he's not always, and I was just wondering if maybe you could ask him to hang out sometime.
Jeff: Oh. Uh...
Frankie: I don't want to imply that he doesn't have any friends. It's just, his dad is a recluse, and Mike definitely has those tendencies. Not that he's gonna become one, but you know, in the back of my mind, I worry about it. Oh, he's also a hoarder. Mike's dad is, not Mike. Anyway...
Jeff: Listen, Frankie, I've got one rule in life: I'll have a beer with anyone.
Quote from Mike
Mike: You're telling guys I'm shy? First off, you don't use that word. And if anything, it's "stoic."
Frankie: Mike, it's not like I'm going around talking about you. I only said you were... stoic as to how it related to your dad.
Mike: W-what are you doing talking about my dad?
Frankie: I don't know, just how you can be sort of like him, and how he hardly leaves the house and he's a hoarder, and he-
Mike: Are you out of your mind?
Frankie: Mike, who cares? If you had a good time, what does it matter how you and Jeff got together?
Mike: Because I'm a grown man! Your wife doesn't call other grown men and ask them to take you out. It's weird.
Frankie: Yeah, but you weren't doing it.
Mike: I'm not 5, Frankie. I don't need you to set up playdates for me. I have friends, okay?
Frankie: And I told him that. I totally told him you have friends.
Mike: Aah!
Quote from Brick
Axl: I need you to teach me stuff so I can talk to people.
Brick: It's Cassidy, isn't it? You're feeling intellectually inferior.
Axl: No. But if you must know, I feel she's smarter than me.
Brick: Ah. I knew this day would come a day I'd become more to you than something to Indian burn, whip a towel at, or force to smell your farts.
Axl: Just shut up and help me.
