Frankie Quote #1858
Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving IX
Frankie: [v.o.] When you're cooking for Thanksgiving, timing is everything. You want to wait till that perfect moment when the center is warm and the edges are crispy and golden-brown.
Frankie: [sighs] I might have left it in too long.
Mike: So, we're finally eating that?
Frankie: We're almost that poor, but not yet. No, this is my Thanksgiving tradition. I heat the quilt in the oven till it's warm enough for the sweet potatoes to go in, and then the warm quilt helps my stiff neck. When you have a 30-year-old pillow, you need that.
Mike: And a 50-year-old neck.
Frankie: Okay, it's Thanksgiving. Pace yourself. Once we get to Janet's, we have to look like the happiest married couple on Earth.
Mike: That would be a lot easier to do if we weren't at Janet's.
Frankie: [mouth full] Hey, it's not my first choice, either, but it's closest to Mom and Dad's, so that's where we're doing it. Get these away from me.

Quote from Brick
Sue: Congratulations, Brick. You won fair and square. I'll turn in my uniform on Monday and erase my name from the schedule. That's why we write it in pencil.
Brick: Wait, Sue, don't do that. I'm the one who should quit.
Sue: What? Why?
Brick: [sighs] It means more to you than it does to me. Plus I keep licking the potatoes. They're gonna catch me eventually, so I might as well quit now. It started out 'cause they were salty, but then it became this thing where I convinced myself that if I didn't lick them, Mom and Dad would die.
Sue: Brick, you can't lick the potatoes.
Axl: Man, you are such a weirdo.
Brick: Call me weird, but I've got two living parents.
Quote from Frankie
Sue: [groans] I'm starving. Where's the blue bag? Did you bring the blue bag?
Frankie: The new blue bag is yellow, and I have no idea where it is.
Quote from Frankie
Mike: You sure we're in the right parking lot?
Frankie: Yeah, yeah, I told the kids to meet us outside the abandoned Penney's. Or did I say the abandoned Sears?
Mike: What about the abandoned Wet Seal?
Frankie: No, that's been gone a while. They turned it into a Claire's Boutique, and now it's a Marine recruiting center.
Mike: Well, they'll find us.
