Mike Quote #882
Quote from Mike in A Very Donahue Vacation
Mike: We never should've let Sue go to East Indy State. We should've sent her to a school where they teach kids to listen to their parents.
Frankie: Yeah, the University of Listening to Your Parents has a really long waiting list. I mean, Mike, she's 19. She's covering the costs. What is the problem?
Mike: I can't believe you're okay with this.
Frankie: Well, of course I'm gonna miss her, but for Sue, I think this is a good thing. I mean, she's always been a little more clingy, which of course I love, but I've been worried that she's never gonna leave on her own, so the fact that she wants to do this, I think we should encourage her.
Mike: Yeah, well, maybe you're all free-wheeling and chill, but I'm not.
Frankie: So what're you gonna do? Punish her for getting a job? Make her sit in the corner and write "I will not work for Dolly Parton" a thousand times?
Mike: I don't know, but I'm gonna do something. I'm not gonna stop being her dad just 'cause she's 18.
Frankie: 19.
Mike: Whatever. She's still a kid. And I'll tell you something else. She's coming with me to see that rock that looks like a buffalo. So is everybody else in this family 'cause I said so.

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.
