Frankie Quote #307

Quote from Frankie in Back to School

Frankie: So in order not to have a repeat of yesterday, I have borrowed this chart from work. Now, for the purposes of this exercise, Brick, you'll be Mr. Ehlert. Axl, you be Pete. Sue's Lou, I'm me, and, Mike, you can be Bob.
Mike: Do I have to be Bob?
Frankie: Yes. Okay. Lou, today you have cross-country practice, so I have for you your signed forms and a check for your new cross-country sweatshirt. Pete, you have the food drive. Here's your canned corn. Please put it in the bin and don't use it for fake vomit. Now, most exciting of all, Brick... I mean, Mr. Ehlert. I have for you a brand-new backpack.
Brick: But I don't want a new backpack. I love my old backpack.
Frankie: I know that you loved your old backpack. But that thing practically walked to the garbage itself.
Brick: But it was my friend. Who am I supposed to eat lunch with?
Mike: I don't know. A person?
Frankie: [v.o.] Okay, so my family was a little slow to make change. But I was getting ahead of it. I was baking brownies. By the end of the day, I was already seeing results.

Quote from Brick

Frankie: Ta-da!
Brick: Nah, I think I'll keep the new one. Thanks, though.
Frankie: You just said that you missed it. You said it was throwing you off.
Brick: I can't tell if it's you or the backpack, but something smells pretty rank. Besides, the other kids in my class seem to like this... Shaquille O'Neal character. Maybe it'll help me fit in more. [whispers] Shaquille O'Neal character.

Quote from Frankie

Mike: And Sue's middle name would be?
Frankie: You know her middle name. "Sue." Remember?
Mike: Oh.
Frankie: They wrote it down twice on her birth certificate by accident. We keep saying we're gonna go down and change it, and we never do.

Quote from Brick

Brick: Well, the new backpack and I are not getting along. At all.
Frankie: What happened?
[flashback to Brick walking around the classroom with his backpack on his head]
Frankie: Why was your backpack even on your head?
Brick: I was seeing if it had the same echo as my old one. It doesn't.
