Frankie Quote #1762
Quote from Frankie in Swing and a Miss
Frankie: But, Brick, this is a big deal. You're the first person in the family to make the Honor Society. I mean, we don't have much to be proud of, so when is time to be proud of, I would like to be there. When is it?
Brick: Saturday.
Frankie: [sighs] I can't go. Grandma got us tickets to the touring company of Finian's Rainbow with the "Kiss my grits" girl from Alice, and she's really excited about it.
Brick: Mom, it's all right. I really don't care if you go or not. Honestly. Besides, they videotape these things now.
Frankie: Well, I'm sorry. I really want to go, but I can't blow off Grandma. Janet got her a massage recliner for her birthday.
Brick: Hey, go to the play. The ceremony's gonna be pretty dull, actually. I just walk up and get a certificate.
Frankie: And I really want to see that, so make sure you get a videotape of it, okay? You get that it's about the massage recliner and me buying back my mom's love, right?
Brick: Got it.

Quote from Frankie
Brick: Well, thank you for showing up. I-I'd better get over to the dessert table. I grabbed some loose cookies from your nightstand. They're in my backpack.
Frankie: Actually, Brick, I took care of that.
Brick: Wow. Why would Nancy Donahue do a whole table dedicated just to me?
Frankie: Nancy didn't do it. I did it.
Brick: How did you find a store that had cupcakes with my name on them?
Frankie: These aren't from the store. I made them. I did it all this myself. I was up till 4:00 a.m. baking, cutting out decorations, blowing up the balloons, making your favorite lime-green JELL-O salad.
Brick: Oh, my God. It isn't even Thanksgiving.
Frankie: Brick, I just want you to know, we could not be more proud of you. And this is proof, 'cause I hate doing this. I mean, it's easy to do things you like for people, but doing something you hate... that's love.
Brick: Thanks, Mom. I love you, too.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Brick, hello? I ask you if we have anything to be proud of, and you're talking to me about acing some stupid geometry test? You made National Honor Society!
Brick: Oh. Right.
Frankie: W-Why didn't you tell me?
Brick: I don't know. I didn't think it was that big a deal. Plus, every time there's an event at school, you and Dad roll your eyes. Then if you do come, you show up late. You always complain about having to bring a dessert, even though we usually just stop by on the way and grab some store-bought cookies. You sit on the end of the row, so that way you can leave early, and...
Frankie: Okay, okay, okay. I get it.

Sue: Don't say it.
Lexie: I don't want to say it.
Sue: Don't say it.
Lexie: I like Axl.
Sue: No, you said it! [crying]
