Mike Quote #461
Quote from Mike in The Clover
Big Mike: Aw, what are you worried about? Your dad was using a chain saw when he was half your age.
Mike: No, you know what? Chain saws are for softies. I bet we can do better, huh, Dad? How about, uh, how about the blowtorch?
Big Mike: Nothing wrong with a boy learning how to use a blowtorch.
Mike: Go ahead, Brick. Your grandpa's gonna make you a man.
Brick: Thanks, but I think I'll stay a boy for now.
Mike: Come on. It's just 3,000 degrees of searing heat... Nothing to be afraid of. And Grandpa says it's okay.
Big Mike: Teach him how to use it properly, I don't think it's such a big deal.
Mike: Okay. What's it gonna be, Brick? Chain saw or blowtorch? Fire or steel?
Brick: You know, I'm thinking the clover might not be the source of the curse after all. I think it might be genetics. At least now I get to keep the four-leaf clover. They're actually kind of rare. Uh-oh. Where'd it go?

Quote from Aunt Edie
Frankie: Okay, Aunt Edie. I finally got her to go. She went number three, so... I'm just gonna change her diaper, bleach my hands, and then hit the road. [gasps] What the-- Aunt Edie! [puts out kitchen fire] Aunt Edie... [carries the frying pan over to Aunt Edie]
Aunt Edie: Oh, no, thank you, dear. I couldn't eat a thing.
Frankie: Aunt Edie, I don't know if you're okay here by yourself anymore. I'm worried about you.
Aunt Edie: I'm worried about you. You'll never get a man if you can't cook.
Frankie: You know, if you ever get confused, you can always call. Remember we bought you this new phone? There's pictures of me and Janet and mom on it. So if you ever need help, or you just want to talk to me, all you have to do is push my face.
Aunt Edie: [pushes Frankie's face, literally] Hello?
Quote from Sue
Sue: Hey, Mom. Since this is my first big high school dance, I just wanted to go over some ground rules with you so you wouldn't be worried.
Frankie: Oh, yes, I was definitely gonna want to go over ground rules.
Sue: I went to kickinitteenstyle.com to check curfew recommendations on their "How late? Debate." Their rule of thumb is 11:00 PM unless you've earned your parents' trust, in which case, it'd be midnight. Have I earned your trust, Mom?
Frankie: You have, but Darrin hasn't, and he's just so dumb. I'll see you at 11:00.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: [v.o.] The first warm day of spring. After being cooped up all winter, kids all over America are bouncing off the walls to get outside... Except one.
Brick: [Mike opens the curtains] Ah!
Mike: Come on, Brick. It's a nice day. Go outside.
Brick: Why are you punishing me?
Mike: You're not being punished. You should want to go outside and play.
Brick: No, thanks.
Mike: Okay, then you're being punished. Go outside. Ah, no book.
Brick: What do kids even do outside?
Mike: I don't know. Run, frolic, poke something with a stick...
