Frankie Quote #1910
Quote from Frankie in Guess Who's Coming to Frozen Dinner
Axl: Oh, ho ho! In your face, poor people. Daddy just got paid. And by "Daddy," I mean me, not the tall, beaten-down-looking guy in the flannel shirt.
Mike: Mm. Well, good for you. 50 more years, and you can quit.
Axl: So, Dad, what did you get with your first paycheck?
Mike: Well, I bought this belt. Since you've already got a belt, do the responsible thing and put that in the bank. Right, Frankie?
Frankie: Absolutely. [Mike walks away] Okay, don't listen to him. Listen to me. You know how people say life is too short? Well, it's not. It's too long, and there's no fun in it. So, before you get sucked in to its black hole, take some of that money and buy yourself something nice. It'll be our little secret.
Brick: Uh, I'm in the room.
Axl: Sweet! Just between you and I.
Brick: When I get my first paycheck, I'm gonna pay people to notice me!

Quote from Brick
Brick: I'm beginning to feel like a literary character I've recently discovered. You see, there's this boy with a very round head, and he has a dog that sleeps on top of his doghouse. Apparently, he was a World War I fighter pilot. If you can suspend disbelief, it all works.
Sue: You're talking about Charlie Brown.
Brick: Then you've heard of it!
Sue: Everyone has.
Brick: Great. So I'm the last to know. Will the indignities never end? Axl's getting paychecks, you're on a nonstop vacation. Why is it never my turn? What does the universe have against me? [a baby picture of Brick falls off the wall and shatters]
Sue: It's okay, Brick! We can put up another picture of you.
Brick: There is no other picture of me.
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: That's why I gave Beth the necklace.
Mike: Who's Beth?
Rusty: That's your daughter. Beth.
Mike: Her name is Sue.
Rusty: Oh, I thought that was the little one's name.
Mike: He's a boy.
Rusty: Huh. You never heard of a boy named Sue?
Mike: I heard of the song.
Rusty: That's a song?
Mike: Anyway, it was an extravagant gift that came out of nowhere, so...
Rusty: Well, I just thought she should have it. She deserves it. I mean, things are tough enough for her going through life with a boy's name, you know?
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: Ah, there you are.
Mike: Rusty? What are you doing here?
Rusty: Waiting six hours for you to come out.
Mike: Well, why didn't you knock on the front door?
Rusty: Ah, I thought you'd pick up my vibe. Remember how we always had that special brotherly bond where we could read each other's minds?
Mike: No.
Rusty: I knew you were gonna say no. [chuckles]
Mike: So, what are you doing back in town? Last I heard, you were in Tampa.
Rusty: Yeah, see? You got that.
Mike: That's 'cause you told me.
