Frankie Quote #1527
Quote from Frankie in Not So Silent Night
Frankie: Wow! [chuckles] What is this? It's so big! Okay, I guess you guys are old enough for me to tell you this now. Every year, you'd get me that cat perfume, and I'd "ooh" and "ahh" over it, and it was so sweet of you. But the truth is, it smelled awful. I have 12 of 'em stashed behind the frosting in the garage.
[Frankie finally gets unpacks the cat perfume from the box]
Axl: You really never liked it? 'Cause every time you went out somewhere, you always said you would put on your Purrisian Nights.
Brick: And you used to pet the velvet and say how you always wanted a cat.
Frankie: [laughs nervously] You guys! Oh, I was kidding! Oh, bad joke. I just said I didn't like it because I was worried that you got me something different, and I didn't want you to feel bad that you didn't get me the cat perfume that I love. But phew! You did, and I love it. I love it so much!
Brick: Did you know she hated it?
Mike: "Hate's" not a strong enough word.

Quote from Mike
Frankie: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Mike?! They're gone! They're gone! Every picture we've taken for the last seven years is gone!
Mike: What are you talking about? You have backups, don't you?
Frankie: No, they were on the computer, and now they're gone! Listen, I keep hearing about a cloud. Do we have a cloud?
Mike: Just the black one over our heads.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Oh, God, could I have thrown it away when we did that spring cleaning a couple years ago? That would be so typical of me! Other people have a system, and I don't have a system, and now it's gone!
Brick: Mom, it's not your fault.
Frankie: Yes, it is. This whole damn house is just a system failure. That computer has not been backed up for 67 weeks! I just kept hitting, "Remind me later." Everything here is "Remind me later." We live a "remind me later" life. Oh, my God, what is wrong with me?! I can't store pictures properly. I don't appreciate cat perfume from my children. I have got to do a better job!
Sue: It's okay, Mom! I found it! I found it! It was in the garage!
Frankie: Oh, thank God! [rummages through the box] Old People magazines? [wails] No! [cries] They're gone! [crying] Everything is gone! It's as if we never existed! Oh, sure, I kept two copies of the John Travolta Look Who's Talking edition but not our family memories!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: You know, ever since this fell in the toilet, it's running slow. Seriously, it's 6:00?
Mike: I checked the kitchen clock.
Frankie: Oh, that's the dog clock. It's always set an hour ahead so I can give Doris her flea medicine. She stays on central time. Trust me, it makes sense.
Sue: Uh, no, that's not ahead anymore, remember? You had me change it back because it kept making us early.
Frankie: So, what time does the microwave say?
Sue: Same as always. That one only always says 2:00.
Brick: No, you got to know how to read it. Just 1, 2, and 3 are 2:00. The sixes and zeros work, and the second time it flashes 2:00, it's really 4:00.
Frankie: Will someone just tell me what time it is?! Is it dog time or microwave time or toilet time?
Mike: Let's just get out the phone book and call time.
Frankie: Nobody calls time, grandpa. Nobody's called time since time started.
