Frankie Quote #1735
Quote from Frankie in Hoosier Maid
Frankie: What happened here?
Brick: The new maid with the face tattoo came and pulled out all the appliances to clean them and then mumbled something about life being too short and left. [Frankie sighs] Uh, I-I wouldn't go back there, Mom. It's a hamster killing field. [Frankie sighs] I don't get it... We've been living like this ever since the Fergusons returned me. Why do you suddenly care so much?
Frankie: [sighs] Because, Brick... You think I like having a messy house? You think I feel good about what this says about me? I want to be one of those people who have spoon caddies, where all the spoons are stacked up like little spoon soldiers. Guess where my spoons are. Oh, look. Here's one. Propping up the microwave. Here's another one... still in the yogurt. [sighs] I'm only one cleaning person away from a whole different life, Brick. If I give up, then this is who I am. But as long as I'm trying there's still hope. I get it.
Brick: Well, let me help by taking care of my dirty plate. [garbage disposal grinding] [grinding stops] [holds bent spoon] Found another one.

Quote from Rusty
Rusty: Now, listen. I got something that'll solve this whole deal. We send all the old people to war. We need somebody to fight the wars, and old people, they need something to do. They're gonna die soon anyway. This way, they go out with a real sense of purpose.
Mike: Yeah. We're not sending Dad to war.
Rusty: Well, I don't see any other option.
Mike: Really? You don't see any other option?
Rusty: Look, we'd all like to think peace would work, but I don't see it happening in our lifetime.
Quote from Big Mike
Rusty: Dad's all better now.
Big Mike: Yeah.
Rusty: He pooped! [laughs]
Mike: You what?
Big Mike: Yeah, the darndest thing is something was gumming up the works. So don't go eyeballing my microwaves. I've still got a few miles left on me.
Mike: So, you're perfectly fine? You went to the john, and now you have no trouble walking at all?
Big Mike: Feel better than ever. [dances] [chuckles] Just like I told you, son. You don't have to worry about me. When the time comes, I'll just walk out into the woods, lie down, and die.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Oh, my God. This is life-changing.
Mike: What'd we win?
Frankie: Free maid service twice a week for a month.
Mike: And I let myself get a little bit excited.
Frankie: No, Mike, you don't get it. I have been fighting a losing battle with this house since we moved in, and now someone who is not me is gonna come in here and clean. I mean, our house is gonna have a pine scent at the end of the day, and not from someone spilling the bottle by accident.
Mike: Yeah, we're not doing it. I don't like the idea of some stranger poking around in my stuff.
Frankie: You listen now and you listen good. I'll get rid of you before I get rid of her.
Mike: Fine. Just don't get anybody friendly.
