Frankie Quote #1614
Quote from Frankie in The Lanai
Frankie: Hi! Just checking in. And I wanted to bring you a little something. Here's some Cocoa Puffs as sort of a welcome to the neighborhood. I know the box is open, but my son only had a small handful.
Diedre: Oh, gee, thanks. Everyone's so friendly. A woman named Nancy brought over a chicken casserole.
Frankie: Betcha she asked you to return the pan. [chuckles] What a pain. That box is yours to keep. There's a maze on the back. Anyway, it's a great neighborhood. Everyone is so friendly. We have a lot of fun together. I've got a brand-new lanai, so I'm gonna be out in the yard a lot, enjoying that baby.
Diedre: Oh, that sounds so nice. I know my kids are loving our new backyard. I can just open the door and let them go nuts.
Frankie: I hear ya... literally.
Diedre: As a matter of fact, we're gonna have a TV-free summer.
Frankie: Oh, yeah? Hmm. I don't know. Most of the experts have reversed on that. Turns out now they're saying a lot of TV is actually good. It's educational.
Diedre: [chuckles] Really?
Frankie: Uh-huh. I mean, if they don't speak Nickelodeon, hello, trouble! [chuckles] A little girl in this neighborhood was not allowed to watch Go, Diego! Go!... got into her parents' crème De menthe, rode her bike right into a tree. [chuckling] So...
Diedre: Well, we're gonna be an outdoor family now. Okay, but just so you know, this is supposed to be the worst tick season we've had in a while. Ticks have very acute hearing, so when they hear children screaming, it's like a dinner bell to a tick. The louder you are, the more they're like, [growling] "Yummy children!"
Diedre: [laughs] Well, I have a lot more unpacking to do, so...
Frankie: Oh, yeah. Well, be careful. [growls]

Quote from Brick
Brick: Hey, Dad, I'm running out of space in my room. Do you think your workers could come over and build me a bookcase? Maybe something in a dark walnut. I really want to make the books pop.
Mike: What? They're not gonna do that, Brick.
Brick: Why not? They helped you.
Mike: Yeah, that's 'cause they're my friends.
Brick: Oh, I thought they were only doing it 'cause you're their boss.
Mike: No. Where'd you get that idea? We're friends. Friends help each other out.
Brick: So you go over to their houses and help them with stuff?
Mike: Why don't you go outside with your mom?
Quote from Mike
Frankie: My lanai is screwed. They don't stop, Mike. Those stupid new neighbor kids are out there all the time screaming and yelling, and it's driving me crazy!
Mike: Yep. Yelling's annoying. [Frankie sighs] Come on. You remember how loud our kids were?
Frankie: What? They weren't loud. They were inside on video games all day. We were good parents.
Brick: What about the time Axl invented "garbage-can Jenga" and Old Lady Graber called the cops?
Frankie: Oh, that old bat was all up in everybody's business. She once turned a hose on Christmas carolers. What do you think I should do? Should I say something?
Mike: How many times in life have you asked me that, and how many times has your "saying something" turned out to be a good idea?
Quote from Axl
Axl: Hey! Two cheddar barges on a butter river!
Hutch: Two cheddar barges on a butter river coming up!
Axl: Oh, dude, check it out! We are on fire! Hey. You know what? I've been thinking. What's the one thing we're missing?
Hutch: A permit from the Health Department?
Axl: A sign! How's this sound? "Axl and Hutch present an Axl and Hutch Production, featuring sandwiches by Kenny."
Hutch: I love it.
Axl: Yeah, you do! I told you this RV was a good idea. We are like Breaking Bad, but with grilled cheese.
