Frankie Quote #1470
Quote from Frankie in The Shirt
Frankie: Okay, look... I like the shirt. But, honestly, you have no one but yourself to blame. You made your flannel bed, and now you got to lie in it.
Mike: What, am I so rigid and predictable that if I put a different shirt on one day, it becomes a whole thing?
Frankie: Uh, yeah. [chuckles] Come on. If Fred Flintstone starts walking around Bedrock in something other than his leopard man-dress, you don't think that Wilma and Barney and Betty aren't gonna give him crap?
Mike: Can we just drop this?
Frankie: Yeah. I'm fine dropping it. Consider it dropped.
[cut to Frankie and Mike at home in the kitchen:]
Frankie: The thing is, when a guy wears a Hawaiian shirt, people expect a certain lightness of spirit that you... I'm just gonna say it... lack. It's okay. We don't expect it from you. You have other qualities. You're very tall. You intimidate service people. It didn't help us tonight, but whatever.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: All I asked was for you to clean the bathroom! How hard is that?
Brick: Well, if you want to do it properly, you have to get to the root of the problem.
Frankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brick. We are not "root of the problem" people. The surface is where we live. You start chipping away and digging down to the root of everything, the whole place falls apart. The filth and grime is what's holding everything together. You want to see a video of how we fix things? We wipe, we slide, we shove, we close. If a drawer is too full to open, move on to the next one. Never open it again.
Quote from Mike
Brick: I'm beginning to think you only had children because you wanted slaves.
Mike: No, we had them 'cause of beer.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Really, Brick?
Brick: I'm on it. All I need is a can of high-quality thin-set and a ceramic saw. Randy Poteat on Youtube says, "Y'all got to do it right the first time, or y'all be back at it in 10 years." [whispers] Randy Poteat.
