Frankie Quote #1207
Quote from Frankie in The Walk
Frankie: [v.o.] Sometimes, all it takes to feel better about yourselves is seeing somebody who's got it worse. Maybe behind closed doors, nobody's really bringing it. And as a bonus, it gave us plenty to talk about.
Frankie: Can you believe he talked to her like that?
Mike: Oh. I had no idea.
Frankie: You look at their house, and it's all perfect, but you don't know. You never know. I mean, it makes sense 'cause you know how controlling she is, so of course she is with him.
Mike: And he's out of town all the time. You got to wonder.
Frankie: You really do.
Mike: Did you hear what she said to him when they were leaving?
Frankie: Don't tell me yet. Save it. We'll take a walk tomorrow. You can tell me about it then.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: You know, I heard that Beyoncé never got asked to her prom.
Sue: Really?
Frankie: [v.o.] I had no idea if that was true. I mean, it's certainly possible. You don't come out of the womb lookin' like Beyoncé. She could've been awkward in high school. What kind of name is "Beyoncé"? Is it French or did her parents just make it up? Oh, I wish I could speak French. God knows when I'd use it. But still, sometimes it's just nice to be able to do stuff. Oh, my God. Your daughter is pouring out her heart to you. Listen! Focus! Pay attention!
Sue: That is something I've never told anyone ever.
Frankie: [v.o.] Uh-oh. She stopped talking. Say something. Take a shot.
Frankie: Honey, I'm sure you will.
Sue: Oh. Thanks, Mom.
Frankie: [v.o.] God, I'm good.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Trust me. It's gonna be awesome. You start with the first book you ever read, then go all the way to the last book you've read. It's your whole life's journey in books. Then we knock them down like dominos, video it, you show it in class "Boom!"... they go nuts. Guaranteed A.
Brick: But that doesn't have anything to do with The Old Man And The Sea.
Axl: See? That's your problem, Brick. You are a rigid thinker. That's why I'm gonna end up ruling the world. All the big-time rich guys Steve Jobs... other guys they're all creative thinkers, risk-takers.
Brick: I don't know about this, Axl.
Axl: Wha-- look, that's fine. Go ahead. Dress like one of the characters in the book and do a lame presentation like a million other kids. What do you want, Brick? Do you want to go the safe route, or do you want to be an innovator, a trailblazer, a rule breaker?!
Brick: I do.
Axl: Then give me One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and let's change the world!
Quote from Sean Donahue
Sean: Hey! Sue! Excited for next Saturday? I was just getting ready to pick up your corsage. Hope you like gardenias.
Sue: Actually, Sean, about that... I really appreciate you asking me. Like, you have no idea how much that means to me. And I think it would be really fun to go together, but somehow, I ended up with four other dates to prom. So, unfortunately, I won't be able to go with you.
Sean: Oh. Wow.
Sue: But it's not like I had four other dates when you asked me. I had one. But of all the people that I'm not going with, you are really my favorite.
Sean: Okay! Yeah, no problem. That's cool. I'll -- I'll just I guess I'll just head on back up to school. It's a six-hour drive, so I won't get back in time for the fraternity photo. But, hey, there's always next year.
Sue: Thank you so much for understanding, Sean. I am so, so sorry.
Sean: Hey! No problem.
