Quote from Frankie

Mike: Frankie.
Frankie: I just... I mean... [sighs] Is that it? 'Cause I have things I wanted to tell him.
Mike: We've been telling him things for 18 years. If he hasn't got it yet, he never will.
Frankie: Okay. I just... thought it would be more of a moment, you know?
Mike: Yeah. Well, he's only 42 minutes away.
Frankie: [sighs deeply] Okay. Okay. Bye, Kenny. Nice to meet you. You boys study hard. But not too hard. Have some fun, too. That's what college is all about. Your whole life is waiting. And remember, you can't discover new lands without leaving the shore. That was on Oprah. Or in the Bible. Anyway, don't be afraid to try new things. But not drugs. And you shouldn't eat mayonnaise if it's been sitting out for more than two hours. [cries] This is just so hard. [hugs Kenny]
Mike: I know. It's hard to say goodbye to Kenny.

Quote from Tag

Tag: [on the phone] College boy, huh? Put him on. Put him on.
Frankie: Everybody's on, Dad. You're on speaker.
Tag: Listen, kid. College is fun, but I got a mean case of the VD my freshman year.
Frankie: Take him off speaker! Off speaker!
Tag: And, you know, the strains now are even worse, so be careful.
Frankie: Can you get him off speaker? Axl, help your brother get off speaker.

Quote from Axl

Axl: Look, can we just go, please? Everyone's waiting in the car. And I don't need anything. I can just buy stuff when I get to school.
Frankie: Yeah, with what?
Axl: Uh, my scholarship money. Duh. I mean, don't they give it to me in, like, an envelope or something when I get there?
Frankie: There's no envelope, Axl. It's already been spent on classes and room and board.
Axl: Are you serious?
Frankie: Let's see. Shower shoes. Shower shoes.
Axl: Ugh! Why do I even need shower shoes?
Frankie: So you don't get athlete's foot.
Axl: Already got it. I'm good.
