Frankie Quote #1638
Quote from Frankie in The Show Must Go On
Frankie: Hey. Maybe we should do something to send you off. You go Sunday, right? Maybe we can do something Saturday. Ooh. Mike, let's do a thing for Sue on Saturday. Let's see. Do we have anything? Oh. Wait, I put a star there. Do you know what that is?
Mike: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's something we didn't pay for that's gonna get cut off. Well, anyway, we're doing a thing Saturday, so don't make any plans. Anybody got any questions?
Brick: I have a question. Was anyone planning on coming to my graduation?
Frankie: What? [chuckles] Duh. O-Of course we are. Why do you think I put a star on this Saturday? I put it there for you, Mr. Eighth Grade Graduate Star Boy, and I'm gonna put another one right next to it because you are the star of Saturday.
Brick: Really? 'Cause it seemed like you were talking about a big celebration for Sue.
Frankie: No, no, no, no, no. Not big. Minor. We were just trying to see if we could fit her big day into your bigger day, but we probably can't, right, guys?

Quote from Frankie
Principal Carson: Is there a problem out here?
Frankie: I'm sorry, but I can no longer keep silent. You can't do this. Every year, the kids can just perform. Now all of a sudden, there's secret drawings and fuzzy math and interrogations without a parent present. It's ridiculous.
Principal Carson: Look, I understand you're upset, and I know every parent cares about their kid.
Frankie: Oh, that's where you're wrong! I don't! I forget to pack their lunches. I put stars on calendars and can't remember what they're for. I'm not a helicopter parent. I'm a couch! I'm a self-driving couch that just watches TV. So I think that when a parent who has a history of sucking as much as I do takes the time to show up, you better stand up and take notice! I am cramming 10 years of not caring into this one fight. My kid is gonna sing at that ceremony, or I will burn this place to the ground!

Frankie: [bell dinging rapidly] I need to speak to the principal, so you better get him or her out here right now. [dinging continues]
Quote from Sue
Sue: [Southern accent] If y'all would just step right this way, Aunt Granny would be durned pleased [British accent] to show you to your eatin' spot. [normal voice] How was that? I feel like sometimes my southern slips into British.
Axl: Didn't notice. I don't hear your voice. Spent my whole life training myself to block it out.
Sue: Okay, well, I got to lock this thing down before I leave for Dollywood on Sunday. Here, let me try one more.
Frankie: Do you have to go for the whole summer? Don't leave me with all these boys. I'm gonna miss you.
Sue: Mm. [British accent] I'll miss you, too, Mum. [normal voice] Seriously?
