Sue Quote #5
Sue: Wow, Mom, that is so unfair. You are not going to make that coffee, are you?
Frankie: Ugh, not worth the fight.
Man: [over PA] All personnel, I've been informed there will be fresh coffee shortly.
Sue: Hey, can I interest you in a cheese sampler so I can win a trip to my state capital?
Man: [over PA] Put me down for the Jalapeño Cheddar Ball.
Sue: Yes. Oh, and if you get that, I can throw in the Wild Game Sausage Trio at half price.
Man: [over PA] [sighs] Fine.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: I have got to fix this. Sue has to stand up for herself. If this isn't worth the fight, Mike, I don't know what is. Hey, Sue! Get in here! You know what this is? A teachable moment. I saw that on Oprah. Or Project Runway or something. I don't remember, but it's teachable.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Sue: Hi, Mr. Ehlert. Would you like to help...
Mr. Ehlert: No. Frances, you forgot to make coffee again. You got me walking like an idiot with a donut and nothing to dunk it in.
Frankie: Mr. Ehlert, how come I'm the one who's always asked to make the coffee? I'm beginning to think it's because I'm a woman.
Mr. Ehlert: Heh, of course it's because you're a woman! The day I start telling men to make coffee for women, you have my permission to put a bullet in my head. [chuckles]
Quote from Sue
Frankie: [v.o.] Unfortunately, I could believe it. This was Sue's whole life in a nutshell. She tries and tries and never gets any recognition. It's like people don't even see her.
