Mr. Ehlert Quote #32
Quote from Mr. Ehlert in Super Sunday
Frankie: So, Mr. Ehlert... about the seminar that we are going to... Really honored that you picked me... For the seminar that we're going to. I just hope we're not late for that session on...
Mr. Ehlert: come on, Frances. You're a smart woman. You know there's no seminar.
Frankie: Oh, no. Okay, I just want to remind you, Mr. Ehlert, that my husband is quite tall, and he gets very jealous.
Mr. Ehlert: Oh, jeez. Get over yourself. If I wanted to cheat on my wife, I'd go to a big city and do it with an ethnic gal. You're taking me to my colonoscopy.
Frankie: Wait. Your what now?
Mr. Ehlert: My colonoscopy. There's only two doctors who do 'em in Orson, and I sold both of 'em lemons, so I gotta get it done in Indy.
Frankie: Hold on. But what about the seminar? I mean, I read up on variable rate auto loans. And I thought you saw potential in me.
Mr. Ehlert: I do. Potential to drive me back tonight. I'll be under a light anesthesia.
Frankie: So you lied to me? All of this is just a big lie to get me to drive you to your colonoscopy?
Mr. Ehlert: Oh, stop whining, Frances. I couldn't let the other guys know about this. I need them to respect me.
Frankie: What about my respect?!
Mr. Ehlert: Not following you. Now be a good girl and rub my shoulders. I get very tense when I drive.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Is that about the Super Bowl?
Mike: Yep.
Brick: Can I see it?
Mike: Sure.
Brick: [reads newspaper] Wow. This is really fascinating.
Mike: It is?
Brick: Yeah. See this font? It's Copperplate Gothic. I'd love to meet the typographer who laid this out.
Mike: You'd rather meet the guy that picked the font than the superstar running back they're writing about?
Brick: Hello. Copperplate Gothic. That's in the sans serif family of typeface. [whispers] Sans serif.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, I guess that's how it is on game day. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. And sometimes it's enough just to participate.
Mike: So, Brick, uh, that Super Bowl logo, is that serif or sans serif?
Brick: Sans serif. See, Dad? If you can talk about fonts, you can talk to anyone.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Frankie: Mr. Ehlert? What are you doing?
Mr. Ehlert: I got the night eats.
Frankie: No, no, no! You are not eating and ruining your procedure!
Mr. Ehlert: What's with the drama? We can just reschedule for Monday.
Frankie: Do you even care what my plans were for this weekend? I was supposed to watch the Super Bowl with my family, and my daughter's in a square dancing competition, and I can't go to it because of you!
Mr. Ehlert: Look, Frances... The truth is, I'm scared.
Frankie: You're not scared.
Mr. Ehlert: Okay, I'm not scared. Now give me my pork rinds!
Frankie: No! No! No, no, no! I've worked for you for two years, and you still make me get you coffee, clean your tie, look into your throat with a flashlight to see if your tonsils are inflamed. And then you say you're taking me to a management seminar, and I think, "Wow, he sees something in me." Well, you did see something in me... a sucker! And I take it and take it and never complain, because I need this job, but at some point, I need my self-respect more. I quit! [sighs] You'll need someone to drive you home in the morning, but when I get you home, I quit!
