Frankie Quote #1389
Quote from Frankie in Flirting with Disaster
Nancy: Hi, Frankie! What are you measuring?
Frankie: Oh, I'm getting a new mailbox.
Nancy: Oh, great! Who's your contractor? We have a fantastic carpenter who did our gazebo. I can give you his number. Is there something that you might...
Frankie: Okay, okay, we're not getting a mailbox. [sighs] It's a little personal. I may have done something stupid. [sighs] Axl brought a cute friend home from school and he may have overheard me say I should be arrested for what I was thinking about him.
Nancy: [gasps] Oh, Frankie.
Frankie: I know! I'm so embarrassed! I mean, it was just a stupid thing that I said. I mean, okay, yeah, I was flirting with him a little bit. But it didn't mean anything. I would never have gone there. It's just that we had this connection. You know, we talked about music, and he thought I was funny. [chuckles] And you know what? Mike flirts with waitresses. You get him in a diner, and all of a sudden, he's George Clooney.

Brick: Uh-huh! I recorded the entire series on tape. I play them when my eyes are too tired from reading.
Brick: [on tape] As professor Faxon's prophecy foretold, Soran's quest...
Quote from Brick
Sue: Oh, my God. Did you see the guy dressed as Professor Faxon's robot? He had on working lights! I wonder if he had to plug in during lunch. Hmm. Hey, you're being kind of quiet. Are you thinking about your key?
Brick: Yeah, sorta.
Sue: But... I don't get it. Didn't you have fun today?
Brick: It was one of the best days I've had in a long time.
Sue: So what's the problem?
Brick: It's you.
Sue: Me?
Brick: Yeah. Sue, today was amazing. I know you were forced to take me, but still, we hung out together, you talked to me. I mean, you understand Planet Nowhere now. I feel like someone in this family finally gets me, and it's right when you're about to leave for college.
Sue: Aw, Brick!
Brick: What's it gonna be like when you're gone?
Sue: Hey, I am gonna miss you tons. But you know what? You'll come visit me at college. I know Axl has the whole "no relatives" policy at his place, but mine is gonna be the opposite. You have to visit me.
Brick: Really?
Sue: Does a Silligan need iron oxide to survive?
Brick: [on tape] And with the Vernegos' triumph and the planet orbiting towards a new moon, Princess Kalakare bade goodbye to her home world, knowing not only would her loved ones miss her, but the entire planet as well, and they would all look forward to her return.
