Frankie Quote #1951
Quote from Frankie in Great Heckspectations
Frankie: So... what's the plan for tomorrow?
Brick: What do you mean?
Frankie: For prom! How are you gonna ask Cindy?
Brick: Oh. I was gonna say, "Cindy, do you want to go to prom?"
Frankie: [sighs] Wrong. Look, I'm on Facebook all day at work so I can see what everybody else's kids are doing. You can't just ask her, you gotta do a promposal.
Brick: You know, normally I enjoy a good portmanteau, but I gotta say, that one just feels a little forced.
Frankie: No, it's fun! You gotta be creative, like filling Cindy's locker with something.
Brick: Shrimp?
Frankie: I was thinking more like roses. Oh, I saw this one where this guy got all his friends to lie down on an empty football field and they spelled out "prom" with their bodies, and they video'd the whole thing with a drone and then they showed it on the scoreboard at halftime.
Brick: I wish I could've just been punished.

Quote from Brick
Frankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?
Brick: Oh, this? Well, you told me I have to do a promposal, so I'm going as Bernie the Bookmark. I'm gonna wait till lunch so there's a big crowd, then I'm gonna ask Cindy to "save a place" for me at prom. It'll be a new "chapter" in our relationship. Pretty good, huh?
Quote from Mike
Frankie: What do you mean you got your driver's license?!
Brick: Well, you guys weren't around, so I asked Sue to take me. I passed!
Mike: Yeah, we saw that.
Frankie: Brick, that is not okay! If your parents say no to something, that doesn't mean you go get your sister to do it!
Brick: I really thought you'd be fine with this. I mean, didn't I prove my trustworthiness when I stole back our car from the Glossners?
Mike: I'm sorry, but there are steps to getting your driver's license. We gotta put you on our insurance, make sure the car is tuned up, alert the neighbors...
Frankie: What did you think you were gonna do, Brick, secretly drive around for the next 75 years without us noticing? Sorry, pal. You're grounded. Two weeks.
Mike: That means no library, no seeing Cindy after school, no... I don't know what else you do.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: Oh, well. At least it gets me out of prom this weekend.
Frankie: Wait, what? Prom? I thought that was just for juniors and seniors.
Brick: No, 'cause of budget cuts, there's only one dance a year now, so everybody gets to go.
Frankie: Well, you have to go to prom.
Brick: I don't care about prom.
Frankie: Well, you should. It's a major life event. You don't want to miss that. I mean, prom at the same time you actually have a girlfriend? What are the odds of that ever happening again?
Brick: But I'm punished.
Frankie: Well, now you're unpunished. He has to go to prom, Mike.
Brick: You're sending very conflicting messages.
Mike: What's not to get? You're grounded until Saturday and then you will go to prom, mister.
