Frankie Quote #1510
Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving VII
Frankie: [v.o.] What was wrong with me? With my family? The Moody Cochrans didn't float their Thanksgiving. They crossed rivers and climbed mountains and ran from bears and mashed potatoes with wooden sticks to be together. They weren't all, "It's fine. I don't care. I want to go to a bar." Well, it wasn't too late. I had to make it home before Thanksgiving was over. I had to remind my sweet, sweet family how thankful we should be. Our life is good. We've got nothing to complain... [car thuds]
Frankie: Where's my phone? [sighs]
[Frankie trudges through the snow]
Frankie: [v.o.] Well, I guess things that are worthwhile don't come without a struggle. If the Moody Cochrans could do it, so could I.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Okay, look. The potatoes were still kind of hard. This can just be our little secret. Nobody out there needs to know. Believe me, two years ago when I worked the squash harvest, this thing was a lifesaver.
Sheila: [gasps] You've done this before?
Frankie: Look, if anybody sees me, I'll just tell them that my cousin from the Louisiana territory just invented it. The great inventor Hosiah... Newton-John.
Sheila: My soul would die at the thought of people getting anything less than the authentic experience they paid $8 for. They did not pay to have somebody cut corners.
Frankie: Well, guess what. Historically, I come from a long line of corner-cutters, so cutting corners now is actually me being authentic. So there.
Quote from Brick
Mike: See, in a real game, we don't see each other's cards, so you can pretend that you have a really good hand and the other guy might believe you and quit.
Brick: You mean lie? That doesn't seem very sporting.
Mike: Well, it's called bluffing, and it's part of the game. So, now I'm gonna deal a hand where I can't see your cards. So I'm not gonna be able to help you. You're on your own.
Brick: Ooh. [puts pretzels in the pot] I have a great hand. [whispers] I'm bluffing.
Mike: Okay, our problem here is that you have what we call a tell. And your tell is that you... tell.
Brick: Mm.
Mike: So we're gonna have to work on that. [Brick eats a pretzel] You're eating money.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: All right, well, if nobody cares, how about we float Thanksgiving to December? Wait. That's too close to Christmas. Let's see. How about... January?
Sue: Can't. Our a cappella group is doing this big month-long tribute to the '80s... Duran Duran-uary. [laughs]
Brick: February's out. Cindy's got something big planned for Valentine's Day. What's a couples retreat?
Frankie: Okay, how about March?
Mike & Axl: March Madness!
Frankie: Okay, who's free in May?
Axl: Yeah, nothing good happens in May.
Sue: Well, except Mother's Day.
Frankie: Like he said, nothing good happens in May.
