Frankie Quote #589
Quote from Frankie in Back to Summer
Mr. Sholin: We have a very special achievement to honor. There is one student who has never missed a single day of school, one student who, simply by showing up, has demonstrated incredible determination and commitment. Trust me when I say it is rare that I find a student with this much perseverance. So please join me in honoring this amazing accomplishment and this amazing student.
Frankie: [v.o.] This was it, the moment she'd been waiting for, the moment Sue'd finally get the recognition she deserved. [Sue stands up]
Mr. Sholin: Our perfect attendance award recipient... Barb Heckie. [applauase]
Frankie: No!
Mike: Aw, man. This can't happen! They can't do this to her! She's gonna be crushed!
[On stage, Sue laughs and shrugs her shoulders. She laughs hysterically]
Frankie: [v.o.] But she wasn't.
Frankie: [laughs] I know.
Frankie: [v.o.] Then it hit me. I may not remember exactly what happened on November 14th or March 12th, or whether I left the car running in the parking lot right now... But the point is, these are the moments you remember.

‘Back to Summer’ Quotes
Quote from Axl
Axl: I hope you know you have sent me to the dumbest school in the world!
Mike: Seemed like a good fit.
Axl: So I didn't do my community service. You know, like, helping poor people or whatever. And if I don't get my 30 hours done by Friday, they're saying I'll flunk civics, and we'll have to pay for some stupid class I have to take in the summer!
Mike: And you're just telling us now? Why didn't you do the assignment?
Axl: Because... It shouldn't be an assignment! They're forcing me to help people against my will! I don't know. Doesn't that seem like communism or something? Did I use that right?
Mike: As much as I'd love to join in on your war on community service, you're doing it.
Axl: Ugh!
Quote from Sue
Sue: Not so fast. Summer's not officially on till my graduation on Friday, when you watch me accept my special award, presented by the principal in front of everyone. [screams]
Frankie: Oh, honey. Well, you certainly earned it.
Frankie: [v.o.] Boy, did she earn it. Sue'd set her sights on the perfect attendance award years ago, and nothing was gonna make her miss a day of school.
[flashback to a red-nosed Sue sitting at her desk with bottles of cold medicine:]
Frankie: Here.
[flashback to Sue rushing to her locker to vomit]
[flashback to Sue sneezing as she climbs rope in gym class, causing her to crash to the floor]
Sue: I did it. I put myself and countless others at risk, but it was worth it!
Mike: We're very proud.
