Mike Quote #714
Mike: Well, I hope you kept the number of this place 'cause I'm getting them on the phone right now and they're taking this back.
Frankie: Oh, you don't think I tried that? It did not go well. For people who make tiny furniture for the pleasure of children, they're real douche bags.
Mike: [sighs] Well, guess there's only one thing we can do. We got to replace the rest of our stuff with tiny stuff, or this table is gonna look ridiculous.
Frankie: [laughs] Oh, Mike, I'm sorry. I was dumb. I was so dumb!
Mike: Eh, it's not your fault. It's both of ours. We tried to find joy, and the universe clearly does not want us to have it.
Frankie: I just wanted something nice for a change.
Mike: I know. Well, someday we'll learn.
Frankie: How to be happy?
Mike: No... to stop trying.

‘The Table’ Quotes
Quote from Axl
Axl: Dude, like, how many different things do we have to write checks for? Why is there even a gas bill? Hmm? You don't put gas in a house. It's not a car.
Hutch: What about water? Why should we pay for that? Stuff falls out of the sky for free.
Axl: Yeah. They're making money off God. That's just wrong.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [into microphone] Check, check. Hello? Hello?
Frankie: You're not trying to face-time the president again, are you?
Brick: No. That's ridiculous. I'm starting my own podcast.
Frankie: Hey, that could be fun.
Brick: It's for the people who are interested in fonts.
Frankie: Oh. Well, why don't you do that and the president thing and see who answers first.
Brick: [into microphone] Hi. I'm Brick Heck, and this is... "The FontCast"... Or "Footloose and Fontsy free." Still working on the title. Feel free to call in with suggestions. Today's topic is the raging debate of font versus typeface and Times New Roman's place in all of it. And then, in our last segment, we'll get into the issue of kerning, which, for those of you who don't know... [chuckling] As if... is the spacing between characters. Now, this is a very hot topic inside of the font community...
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Hey, Brick. How's the podcast going?
Brick: I got to tell you, it's a real grind. You got to churn out show after show after show.
Frankie: Haven't you only done like three?
Brick: Yeah. Show after show after show.
Mike: What are you doing it for, then?
Brick: Well, I do it for the fan. Without the fan, I'm nothing. You'd better finish up that vacuuming. I'm gonna have a hot mic in a minute. We're talking Garamond today. How am I gonna get fired up for that?
