Mike Quote #117
Quote from Mike in The Break Up
Frankie: There's just something I want you to hear.
Mike: [on tape] [crying] Frankie, it's me. [rock music plays] [sniffles] You hear that? It's our song, baby. It came on the radio and I... Oh, I had to call you. Please, Frankie. Please take me back. I'm so lost without you.
Axl: Oh, God! Is that dad?
Frankie: Yes. Yes, it is. He left this on my machine after we broke up for a few weeks when we were first dating.
Axl: Are you serious?
Mike: [sings] Your baby needs someone to believe in [sings] I'm gonna hold on loosely, but I won't let go...
Frankie: See? Everyone hurts sometimes, even your dad.
Axl: Dude, he sounds like such a dork! Is that how I sounded? God!
Mike: Who's the dork?
Mike: [on tape] If you get this before morning, call my pager. I'm at the Chi-Chi's on route 42, waiting by the pay phone. The chi-chi's where we sat in back and fed each other nachos, remember? [crying] I love you, Frankie. I love you so much, my heart...
Mike: Frankie, what are you doing? Are you nuts?! Where did you get that?! What... What even is that?! I can't believe that you saved that. Besides, I don't even think that's me.

Quote from Mike
Mike: It's not sweet. It's not anything. Give me that tape.
Frankie: No! I love this tape. You even made up your own lyrics to 38 Special for me. You said I was your angel from above. Where is that part?
Mike: [on tape] [crying] My shirt still smells like your hair. I miss your hair.
Mike: Aah! La la la la la! I can't hear it.
Frankie: So you love me. So what?
Mike: Stop saying that! Give me the tape!
Frankie: What, love? You want me to stop saying "love"?
Mike: And you played it for our son?! Give me the damn tape. I'm going to destroy it. It's embarrassing.
Frankie: It's embarrassing that your son knows that you loved his mother enough to cry? That's what's embarrassing you?
Mike: Hey, let's pull out some pictures of you and your giant perm. I know they're in here somewhere.
Frankie: I didn't do this to embarrass you. Axl is going through a really tough time, and he's never been that open with his emotions, and he just needs to see that it's okay to cry.
Mike: But it isn't! I think that tape makes that perfectly clear.
Mike: [on tape] Oh, man. Oh, God! Frankie!
Quote from Sue
[While in the bathroom, Sue goes to draw back the shower curtain. When she spots Brick sitting in the bath tub, they both scream]
Sue: What are you doing?
Brick: I was too scared to sleep, and this is the only room in the house where I got to keep the lights on all night.
Sue: [sighs] I couldn't sleep either. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw zombies ripping the guts out of Taylor Lautner!
Brick: Maybe we should tell mom we saw the movie.
Sue: No, you can't tell mom! She'll think I'm a bad babysitter.
Brick: You are a bad babysitter! You let me watch a scary movie I am too young for. Besides, mom always makes it better when I'm scared.
Sue: Did the mom in the zombie movie make it better? No. She ate her baby's face off.
Quote from Brick
Sue: Okay, here we go.
Brick: What are you doing? I don't want to watch it again!
Sue: Trust me. If we watch it again during the day, we'll see how silly it is, and we'll totally laugh about it, and the movie will lose its power over us.
[later:]
Sue: Oh, my God! I thought those zombies were eating hamburger last time. They're really eating that nun's liver!
Brick: I just realized zombieism is just cannibalism in virus form. This can actually happen!
Sue: Aah!
