Mike Quote #866
Quote from Mike in Floating 50
Frankie: [answers video chat] Mike, Sue says she's at home.
Mike: Hang on. I got something to show you.
All: Surprise!
Frankie: Wait, what is this?
Mike: This is your surprise floating 50th birthday party. I don't know. I was trying to do something nice for you.
Frankie: Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?! You never do anything nice for me! It's always road pizzas and floated birthdays and mini license plates that say "Frannie" 'cause they didn't have a "Frankie." And now you go all out and throw me this party and I'm not even there to enjoy it!
Mike: Yeah, it turns out putting someone in charge of the guest of honor is kind of a crucial part of a surprise party.

Quote from Mike
Brick: We're having an "I Can't" ceremony at school.
Frankie: Oh, no. Is that something we have to go to?
Brick: No, it's an in-school ritual to help kids build a positive attitude. [Mike scoffs] We're each supposed to write "I can't" on a piece of paper along with something we can't do and then bury it in a hole.
Mike: I can't believe they're doing this crap. You know who's not burying words? The Chinese.
Quote from Brick
Mike: I'm gonna call and invite over a bunch of her friends.
Brick: Oh, no! I can't do small talk! Oh, I should have put that.
Axl: Yeah.
Mike: Come on, guys. I want to do this. We got some extra money from the diapers, so let's do something nice for her. You know, we really got our asses handed to us for Mother's Day. So if we can pull this off, she'd never see it coming.
Brick: Wait, so, all we have to do is be better than Mother's Day? Which one are we talking about? Yellow pants, expired gift card, or loose change in a baggie?
Mike: Somehow, we got to top all of those.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [to Ron Donahue] You know, I always thought I couldn't do small talk, but now I'm gonna try. My mother's 50th birthday brings up thoughts of the fleeting nature of time and my own ultimate demise. Oh, but look who I'm talking to. You're even older than my mom. This must be on your mind all the time.
