Quote from Frankie in The Cheerleader
Frankie: Oh, my God, Mike. It's 2009.
Mike: What? Already?
Frankie: Yeah, Mike. 2009. How did this happen?
[montage:]
Frankie: No payments till 2009.
Mike: No payments till 2009.
Frankie: No payments till 2009. The economy's gonna be great by then.
[present:]
Frankie: Great. Now with interest, we owe $650 on a VCR we sold at the garage sale last year for 2 bucks. [sighs] You know what? It'll be fine. It's fine. It'll be fine. We're fine. These things have a way of working themselves out. As long as the dryer hangs on and I sell a car this month, we're gonna be fine. [dryer grinding] [dryer whirring]

Frankie: [v.o.] If the library fines were half a dryer, glasses were a whole dryer. But luckily, the Frugal Hoosier has an optical department. And no mirrors.
[Axl and Mike stand in front of Sue as she tries on pairs of glasses]
Axl: Dork. Dork. I would never stop punching you.
Mike: Knock it off. She's a young girl with emotions all over her surface... or something like that. Anyway, our job is to cheer her on.
Axl: [to Sue] Oh, my God. Those look so great. Seriously. I think you should really, really buy them.
