Frankie Quote #902
Quote from Frankie in The Safe
Frankie: [v.o.] Well, Axl wasn't the only one who was gonna have to start studying. 'Cause the next day was my first day of dental assisting school. Yep, I was back to school for the first time in over 20 years.
Frankie: Oh, Mike, take a picture of me with my lunch like we always said we were gonna do with the kids on their first day of school but never did.
Mike: Battery's dead. [pipes groan]
Brick: It's doing it again.
Frankie: Do we need a plumber?
Mike: Oh, definitely. And a roof guy and a mold guy and a bug guy. But instead, we're paying tuition, and it's all gonna be worth it, right, Frankie?
Frankie: Mike, this is not just my second act. It's all of ours. The Hecks are taking risks. Yeah. We're on the comeback trail.

Quote from Axl
Axl: Ugh! It's 10:00 and I still have 26 more pages! Mom, you gotta help me study. Here... It's the constitutional amendments. Just so you know, those are Roman numerals. Turns out they're not just for Super Bowls.
Quote from Brick
[Brick holds a stethoscope to the safe as he turns the dial]
Sue: What are you doing?
Brick: Shh! I saw this on Safe Crackers.
Sue: Did it work?
Brick: I don't know. After five minutes, I switched over to Whale Wars. But I do feel fairly confident that I can commandeer a Japanese harpoon ship.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Let me explain. This wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, but my son and I were taking drugs together...
Sandy Armwood: [sighs] Frankie... Isn't it time? Isn't it time you accept the fact that you don't have what it takes to make it in the high-pressure world of dental assisting? Why don't you do yourself a favor? Why don't you walk out that door and find something more your speed, like... running a hair extension kiosk at the mall?
Frankie: You think I'm just gonna walk out of here? That I'm just gonna quit because you told me to? Well, let me tell you something about myself I... am a quitter. A lifelong quitter. Girl Scouts? Quit. Piano lessons when they started with two hands? Quit. Working out at Curves? Quit in the middle of signing up for the membership. Every volunteer thing at my kids' school, quit, quit, quit. Oh, and I only got through 20 Shades of Grey. So if I quit-- and yeah, I might if it gets too hard I'm gonna do it on my terms. It might be tomorrow. It might be next week. It might be the week after! But definitely not today.
Sandy Armwood: Okay.
