Frankie Quote #484
Quote from Frankie in hecks on a plane
Mike: Look, Frankie, you should just take the kids. I'll stay here. You would be taking the kids, right?
Frankie: Mike, you have to go. Listen, we all have to go. I mean, do you realize how lucky we are to have won?
The Donahues might have a new car, but the Hecks won four tickets to New York.
Mike: Well, if we were really lucky, we'd have won five.
Frankie: Okay, we can think of this as a problem, or we can think of it as a proble-tunity.
Mike: Proble-tunity?
Frankie: It's good, right? We just have to get creative. We can get an extra ticket on one of those discount web sites. I mean, sure, we might have to fly at an inconvenient time, but you can save a lot of money.

Quote from Mike
Mike: I gotta get up.
Frankie: Mike, you can't. The "fasten seat belt" sign is still on.
Mike: Frankie, you don't know what it's like to be jammed in that seat. Every seat is giant to you.
Frankie: Look, just close your eyes and go to sleep.
Mike: I can't sleep. What if something happens?
Frankie: So what if it does? You're not flying the plane. There's nothing you can do.
Mike: Oh, no. I have to be ready. What if there's an emergency? People look to tall people in emergencies. We're the lighthouses of society.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Hey, everybody. Hi. Sorry to bother you, but we are looking for a 9-year-old boy, so if everybody could get up and just look around you.
Sue: [o.s.] Found him.
Frankie: Oh! Okay. Thanks, everybody. Never mind. Found him. We're good.

Quote from Frankie
Mike: This is nuts. I don't have to be in control. If there's a control freak in this family, it's you.
Frankie: What? Me? [chuckles] You're gonna have to reach pretty far back to make that case.
[flashback to this morning:]
Frankie: We're all wearing orange, so nobody gets lost.
[flashback to the plane:]
Frankie: If you two could just scootch over one toward the window... Sir, then if you could take the aisle seat?
[present:]
Frankie: You think that's being a control freak? Do you? Do you, Mike? 'Cause it's not. You know what that's called? Being a mom. I packed everyone's suitcases, made the snacks, checked the tickets, made sure nobody gets lost, and what do you do? You take a shower, and you waltz out the door. But I have to dot, because if I didn't, this family would never get anywhere! I'm not in control because I like to be. I'm in control because I have to be.
Mike: Where are those snacks again?
Frankie: Okay, you know what? I'm done. No. That's it. You wanna be in control? You're in charge of the whole family. I'm just a passenger. Mm-hmm. A passenger who is going to enjoy having someone cater to her needs in first class.
