Mike Quote #811
Quote from Mike in Not Your Brother's Drop Off
Frankie: Come on. This is her day. It's her first day of college.
Mike: No. She's got to learn.
Frankie: All right, you know what? Axl is right. You are going crazy. You know, if you learned to just express an emotion and tell your daughter that you loved her instead of making her shut off the gas lines and plunging toilets, we wouldn't be stranded on the side of the road right now.
Mike: I'm sorry. I guess you're the expert on emotions. Why don't you squeeze out a few more fake-o tears so Sue won't know you're not really sad about her leaving?

Quote from Mike

Sue: Well, I must have done it wrong. I have your balance at minus $11.

Quote from Brick
Brick: [over radio] Actually, I have a question.
Sue: You're a go, Brick.
Brick: Well, Cindy said she wants to take our relationship to the next level, and Axl said I should figure out what that level is and bump it up at least two levels, but I'm not sure that's solid advice. Mom, when you and Dad were at level...
Frankie: Brick, do not take any of Axl's advice. Do you read me? Over.
Axl: I am simply informing him of the levels he'll have to master if he wants to keep a girl like Cindy satisfied. Over.
Frankie: All right, that's it. We're switching cars. Pull over. Over.
Brick: I just don't want to blow this. I really like her. She gets my sense of humor. She's pretty. She provides stability my family does not. Plus, on hot days, I can walk in her shadow. [whispers] Shadow. [normal voice] Over. [whispers] Over.
Quote from Mike
Mike: And, Sue, you're coming with me. Let's go. We got work to do. Time to teach you how to balance a checkbook.
Sue: But...
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, all summer long, Mike had been dealing with Sue's impending departure by trying to cram 1,000 life lessons into the little time they had left.

Mike: There's a lot of spiders in the world, and I'm not gonna be there to kill them all for you. One's poisonous, it bites you in your sleep, you're dead.
Mike: Okay, late at night, you're broken down on the side of the road, nobody in sight... It's up to you to change this tire, or you're dead.
Sue: [opens bedroom door] Hi, Dad.
Mike: You didn't ask who it was. Who it was is a dangerous stranger, and you're dead.
