Frankie Quote #1187
Quote from Frankie in The Award
Frankie: I just find it sad that Mike is refusing to go to his own awards dinner. So I thought maybe you guys could help me out. Like, what is work Mike like?
Jim: Well, every day, he comes in and says, "Morning."
Chuck: And at lunch, he eats a turkey sandwich and says, "Back to work."
Dave: End of the day, it's always, "See you tomorrow."
Frankie: Huh. Just like home Mike, but without the TV. I was actually hoping that maybe you guys could sway him in a way that I can't.
Chuck: Listen, wife of Mike, you got way more sway than us. Tonight, when you go home, you got to light a candle, shake off the sheets, and get your man all syncopated with the rhythms of your lady jazz.
Frankie: Well, I'm not saying that my lady jazz isn't in play. It's definitely in play. [Mike's workers notice him walk up behind Frankie] And... once you meet your deductible, your dental treatments are 100% covered. Hey, Mike! Can you believe I came all the way over here and forgot the free toothbrushes? [chuckles]
Mike: Back to work. [to Frankie] Back to work.

Quote from Brick
Chuck: Nice suit, little dude. Off the rack?
Brick: Out of the box.
Chuck: What's the label?
Brick: I don't know. Shah-nee-a Twan.
Chuck: Shania Twain?
Brick: The "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" collection. Oh, no, this isn't Cousin Ryan's. It's Cousin Allison's. I've been wearing women's clothes for the last three days.
Chuck: It's cool, baby Mike. Man, woman, we're all just energy.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Come on, Dad. I finally have a reason to go out. I've got a real suit. It doesn't wrinkle. It has secret inside pockets. The color's majestic. It broadens my shoulders, slims my waist, and gives me the muscles of an eighth grader. But it's more than just superficial high-end apparel. It feels like armor that protects me against whatever life throws my way. Today, it was sloppy joe flicked from a spoon. This suit makes me feel like a winner, and I want to show it off at your awards ceremony. Not moving you, huh?
Mike: No.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: You know, you are a really difficult person. Let's just say you had to say something. Gun to your head, you had to say something what would it be?
Mike: Uh, I guess I would say... "For 20 years, this job's put a roof over my family's head. I've had a great group of guys working for me hard-working guys who show up on time, rarely take sick days. We've seen each other's kids grow up. I've been lucky, not only for the work, but my crew has made this a good place to go every day."
Frankie: Well, where have you been hiding that? That's beautiful. Can't you just go and say that? It's one dinner, Mike. One dinner that maybe doesn't mean a lot to you, but might mean a lot to everyone else. [Mike groans] Oh, yay! You're gonna be so good! You know, if I wasn't wearing five pairs of pajamas, I would totally break out the lady jazz.
