Frankie Quote #29
Quote from Frankie in The Cheerleader
Frankie: [v.o.] Because it doesn't matter how big the storm... ...or how much stuff gets blown your way... ...if you have each other, that's everything. Because there's nothing more important... Holy crap! Is that a dryer?
Frankie: You see it too, right, Mike?
Mike: The tornado gave us a dryer.
Frankie: Quick. Get it inside before anybody sees. Oh, my God.
Frankie: [v.o.] Our luck started to turn around after that. Some stupid bank actually approved us for a brand-new credit card. So we paid off Brick's library fines. We were able to afford contacts for Sue. And she actually made the Swim Team. Well, 34th alternate. And the best part of the new credit card? No payments till 2012. And I'm sure by 2012, everything's gonna be great.
Frankie: Okay, see, this is why you never give up hope... ...because anything is possible. I mean, you just never know what'll happen. You just gotta hang in there and believe and... Oh! Hot damn, there's even clothes in there.

Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] Out here in the middle, people are straight shooters. They just say it like it is. Well, I got one of those types in my house as well.

Mike: [to Brick] Hell, yeah, you were a mistake. I mean, we're happy you're here now, but you were definitely a mistake.
Mike: [to Frankie] It's funny because you're not fat, but that skirt sure makes you look fat.
Mike: [to a young Sue] Ha. Who told you Scrappy went to a farm? He's not on a farm. He's dead.
Quote from Brick
[Brick walks over to Frankie holding a book, Sorrow's Destiny]
Brick: Mom. Which part of me is my hungering manhood?
[Mike takes the book and then hands it to Frankie]
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] If the library fines were half a dryer, glasses were a whole dryer. But luckily, the Frugal Hoosier has an optical department. And no mirrors.
[Axl and Mike stand in front of Sue as she tries on pairs of glasses]
Axl: Dork. Dork. I would never stop punching you.
Mike: Knock it off. She's a young girl with emotions all over her surface... or something like that. Anyway, our job is to cheer her on.
Axl: [to Sue] Oh, my God. Those look so great. Seriously. I think you should really, really buy them.
