Mike Quote #69
Mike: A hundred and twelve bucks for one pair of jeans?
Frankie: Well, most of that is tax.
Mike: Frankie, are you kidding? Tell me there's another man somewhere supporting you.
Frankie: Okay, I know it's crazy. It's completely crazy. But this is about Sue and her self-esteem.
Mike: I just gave Axl a lecture about how he's gotta work for things, and you just waltz in and buy her a pair of jeans that cost more than all my pants put together?
Frankie: Okay, I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Mike: Good. Because I don't.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Can we keep one? I promise I'll take care of it this time. [whispers] I'm lying.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Honey, how about I help you find something to wear to the audition?
Sue: Oh, yeah, right. Like you know what's cool. I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry.
Frankie: It's okay. We'll find something.
Sue: Nothing that would make anybody like me. Mom, all the cool kids have Citizens Of Humanity jeans, and I am the only person in the entire school who doesn't.
Frankie: Honey, I believe that it's not what people see on the outside that makes you popular. It's what's inside. You have to let your inner light shine through.
Frankie: [v.o.] Hold your smile, keep eye contact, see if she buys it.
Sue: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Frankie: [v.o.] Damn.
Sue: Mom, junior high is hard. People judge you for every little thing, if they even notice you at all. I just wanna be judged. Didn't you ever want something so bad that you'd die for it?

Quote from Brick
Mike: Oh, hey, Brick. The aunts are back from Vegas. They're coming to pick up Doris. Where is she?
Frankie: Brick? Did something happen to that dog? And don't forget, I can always tell when you're lying.
Frankie: [v.o.] Brick has a tell when he's lying.
[flashback:]
Frankie: Brick, did you break the lamp?
Brick: No. [whispers] I'm lying.
[present:]
Brick: Okay, I'm just gonna tell you the truth. Doris is gone. She's gone. Her wagon is empty, and I don't know where she went. Congratulations. You were right. Being responsible is not my strong suit. I'll be in my room thinking about what I've done.
