Frankie Quote #1550
Quote from Frankie in Floating 50
Frankie: Fine, I won't get any froofy toppings, but I at least want to get pineapple.
Axl: Don't start, Mom!
Frankie: I'm not starting anything. Look, I really want Dom Raggano's, okay? My 50th birthday was two months ago, and I never got a present, so consider this my gift one measly half a pie with pineapple on it.
Brick: But there's three of us who don't like pineapple. It's not exactly fair for you, who's just one person, to get half the pie.
Frankie: Fine, a quarter pineapple. [Axl and Brick groan] One slice of pineapple!
Axl: The pineapple doesn't stay contained. It always leaks onto the pieces next to it.
Frankie: Hey, I'm 50 years old. I shouldn't have to fight to get the pizza I want. When we said we were gonna float my birthday, did I complain?
Brick: Well, you're kind of complaining now. You just floated the complaining.
Mike: All right, all right, no more ganging up on your mom. This is obviously some kind of big deal to her, so let's just go there and get it over with.

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.
