Mike Quote #87
Quote from Mike in The Interview
Mike: It was awful. She kept asking me all these stupid questions that had nothing to do with the job. "How do I describe myself?" I don't. It was just stupid. It was stupid, and I told her so.
Frankie: Mike, you have to learn to play the game. You gotta suck it up in these things. Look, you have another interview tomorrow, and whatever crap job they're offering you, make them think it's your passion.
Mike: My passion is you and the Colts and the kids. Work is work.
Frankie: You can't tell them that, Mike. And thank you for putting me above the Colts.

Quote from Brick
Mike: How's his speech?
Frankie: I don't know. I didn't write it.
Mike: What?
Brick: [clears throat] Hi, I'm Brick Heck. Or as most of you know me, nerd. [children laugh] I spend a lot of time locked in lockers here at Orson Elementary. And that's given me a lot of time to think. You may think I'm odd. And maybe I am. Sure, I'm the kid who makes you late for recess because we have to walk in a group, and I'm still in the bathroom pulling up my pants. [all laugh] Sure, I talk in a Scottish accent sometimes. [in Scottish accent] Don't knock it till you've tried it. [normal voice] But aren't I exactly what you want for your school historian? Someone who has no social connections whatsoever. Someone who'll take pictures of you doing fun things I have no desire to be a part of. But the main reason you should vote for me... is because I suck at basketball. And if I'm not elected, I will try out for the team. Do you really want that on your conscience? I don't think so. [cheering and applause]
Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] So Mike went to his next interview ready to play the game.
Doug: So, Mike, what is it about septic tanks that appeals to you?
Mike: Gosh, where do I begin? Uh... I think what you do is important for the community.
Doug: Well, there are a lot of important jobs out there, Mike. Why this one?
Mike: I just really like to work with my hands, you know? Just get in there and... Yeah.
Doug: Lot of jobs where you can work with your hands. Why here?
Mike: I just think of the reward of hosing out a tank and giving some lucky family a fresh new start. I mean, you can't ever really get to know somebody until you've gotten to know their waste.
Doug: But why septic waste?
Mike: Because the idea of putting on a rubber suit and goggles, and wading through human excrement sounds like the adventure of a lifetime. It's like being an astronaut here on planet Earth. I guess what I'm really saying is that septic waste is my passion.
Quote from Mike
Mike: Hi, I'm Mike Heck.
Barb: Ah, yes. The rockinfreakshow. Please, sit down. So tell me, Mike. What brings you to Hoosier Grain?
Mike: Well, you called me, told me to come in. And here I am.
Barb: Okay, how about you tell me a little about you? What are three words you would use to describe yourself?
Mike: Uh... Tall. Mike. Man?
Barb: Okay. Well, what would you say is your best quality?
Mike: Tall?
