Frankie Quote #1586
Quote from Frankie in A Very Donahue Vacation
Frankie: I think that's why Sean responds so well to me... 'cause I'm relaxed and Nancy kind of smothers him. Yeah, she's a smotherer. I mean, I'm just very "chill"... Sean's word, not mine. Are you even listening to me?
Mike: Sorry, I was right next to the cannon, and I can't really hear you. You should've seen this thing, Frankie.
Frankie: Mike, I'm not done telling you how I'm a better parent than Nancy. See, I've always said that she's very relentless, and Sean feels choked 'cause she's a choker. See, some people have an innate sense of what a kid needs, and others have this agenda. I mean, I'm not saying I'm right and she's wrong, but whose kid's a hippie and whose kid has an internship at Little Betty? Yeah, sure, Nancy's garage is organized, but she's destroying her children. [Frankie notices Shelly Donahue stood behind her]

Quote from Brick
Axl: Okay, Brick, I didn't want to do this, but if you don't help me, I might have to tell Cindy about your sudden penchant for older ladies.
Brick: She'd never believe you. Besides, after she kissed that other boy, she gave me what they call a "Hall pass," which, despite the name, does not give me free access to the library.
Quote from Nancy Donahue
Nancy: Frankie, it... it's okay. I'm not mad.
Frankie: Really?
Nancy: Look, people talk about each other. It's what we do. But the thing is, deep in your heart, I know you love me, and I love you, too. I mean, hello! You're like a sister to me.
Frankie: I am?
Nancy: Of course. And no matter what, I could never stay mad at my sister. Get over here. [hugs Frankie] Come on, let's go get a couple of those pineapple drinks.
Frankie: Let's do that, and I'm buying. Ooh, you know what else they had? Watermelon Daiquiris. Doesn't that sound good? I think I'm gonna try that one. [Frankie screams as Nancy knocks her into the pool]
Nancy: Oh, my... Oh, my goodness, Frankie! What happened?
Frankie: Did you push me?
Nancy: No. I think you slipped. See this spot right here? Very slippery. Oh, my goodness. Let's get you out of there.
Frankie: [v.o.] Did I really slip, or did Nancy push me? I kind of hope she pushed me. Because that would mean maybe, just maybe, there's a little sliver of Nancy that's down in the gutter with the rest of us.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] Spring break, when everyone flees the cold winter weather for the surf, the sand, or, in our case, the couch.
Sue: I think they're gonna love it.
Axl: No way. They're gonna list it. He was very clear he wanted a finished basement.
Frankie: Yeah, but after they did that mold remediation, there's no way they're gonna list it.
Brick: But she's not gonna love it without that mud room.
Frankie: I wonder what we would do if our house was ever on this show.
All: List it.
