Frankie Quote #1504
Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving VII
Frankie: Oh, well, hello, kind people. If you're wondering what tool I'm using to make my husband a fine Thanksgiving feast, this is a... a... Uh, What is it? Um... hang on. Oh, I remember. It's an old-timey corn grinder. Pbht!
Sheila: 'Tis a grist mill. Good morrow, and welcome to our humble cabin. I'm Rachel Moody Cochran, and this is my husband, Obadiah.
Frankie: Hey. Hi. Sorry, but I think I'm supposed to be playing Obadiah's wife.
Sheila: Perhaps thou has been stricken with the Devil's fever, for it was I who wed dear Obadiah on my 14th birthday. [quietly] Did you not read your packet? You're not Rachel. I'm Rachel. You're Abigail, the barren spinster sister-in-law with the clubfoot.
Frankie: Are you sure? 'Cause I come back here and play Obadiah's wife every time I get fired from a job, and I get fired a lot.
Sheila: Trust me, lady, 'tis I.
Frankie: Fine. Relax. I'll be the sister-in-law. But I'm not playing the clubfoot. Barren, on the other hand, sounds fabulous.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Okay, look. The potatoes were still kind of hard. This can just be our little secret. Nobody out there needs to know. Believe me, two years ago when I worked the squash harvest, this thing was a lifesaver.
Sheila: [gasps] You've done this before?
Frankie: Look, if anybody sees me, I'll just tell them that my cousin from the Louisiana territory just invented it. The great inventor Hosiah... Newton-John.
Sheila: My soul would die at the thought of people getting anything less than the authentic experience they paid $8 for. They did not pay to have somebody cut corners.
Frankie: Well, guess what. Historically, I come from a long line of corner-cutters, so cutting corners now is actually me being authentic. So there.
Quote from Brick
Mike: See, in a real game, we don't see each other's cards, so you can pretend that you have a really good hand and the other guy might believe you and quit.
Brick: You mean lie? That doesn't seem very sporting.
Mike: Well, it's called bluffing, and it's part of the game. So, now I'm gonna deal a hand where I can't see your cards. So I'm not gonna be able to help you. You're on your own.
Brick: Ooh. [puts pretzels in the pot] I have a great hand. [whispers] I'm bluffing.
Mike: Okay, our problem here is that you have what we call a tell. And your tell is that you... tell.
Brick: Mm.
Mike: So we're gonna have to work on that. [Brick eats a pretzel] You're eating money.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: All right, well, if nobody cares, how about we float Thanksgiving to December? Wait. That's too close to Christmas. Let's see. How about... January?
Sue: Can't. Our a cappella group is doing this big month-long tribute to the '80s... Duran Duran-uary. [laughs]
Brick: February's out. Cindy's got something big planned for Valentine's Day. What's a couples retreat?
Frankie: Okay, how about March?
Mike & Axl: March Madness!
Frankie: Okay, who's free in May?
Axl: Yeah, nothing good happens in May.
Sue: Well, except Mother's Day.
Frankie: Like he said, nothing good happens in May.
