Frankie Quote #515
Quote from Frankie in The Math Class
Principal Larimer: Now, we're not going to recommend you leave the school, because Ms. Rinsky would like to handle this directly.
Ms. Rinsky: Dear, I blame myself. When you acted out, I should never have banned you. I mean, I'm an educator. I believe in second chances. Therefore, you are now the opposite of banned. You're gonna be the new room mommy. You'll be in charge of the phone tree. And the school's pets are gonna be yours on vacations. And every Tuesday and Thursday, crossing guard.
Frankie: Oh, come on!
Ms. Rinsky: And please... Get help with your drinking. Brick needs a mother.
Mike: Will do. Let's go, Frankie.

Quote from Brick
Mike: What happened, buddy? You don't get D's. We're kinda counting on you to pull up the family average.
Brick: I'm reading at an eighth grade level. Why can't I please you people?!
Frankie: Just reading isn't gonna get you into college.
Brick: Oh, I'm not going to college. I've decided to live with you guys forever. [whispers] Forever.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Okay. Well, see, Brick got a D on his math test.
Ms. Rinsky: Sometimes kids get D's... But not your son. Oh, no. He has to be perfect at every single thing he does, right, Mommy?
Frankie: [laughs] I... You know, Ms. Rinsky, you're very funny. Brick never mentioned how funny you are.
Ms. Rinsky: Are you helping him with his homework?
Frankie: Oh, no. He does it all himself.
Ms. Rinsky: He's getting a D. Maybe you should help him.
Frankie: Oh, no. We do. We do. We totally do. It's just that we can't help him, 'cause we don't really understand it ourselves.
Ms. Rinsky: Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm going to set aside some extra time. An evening next week... to teach parents a math class.
Frankie: Oh! That would be so... Wait. What? A class for parents?
Ms. Rinsky: Is there a problem?
Frankie: No. That just sounds like a lot of work... For you.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] What was I worried about? It had been months since I last saw Ms. Rinsky. She might not even remember me.
Frankie: [knocks] Hi. Ms. Rinsky. Frankie Heck. Brick's mom?
Ms. Rinsky: Oh! Not today.
Frankie: [v.o.] She remembers me.
Frankie: Would you like me to come back another time?
Ms. Rinsky: No. Sit. Talk. Unburden yourself during my limited free time.
