Frankie Quote #1370
Quote from Frankie in Hecks on a Train
Funeral Director: So... you just drive straight up Route 30, and you'll see our sign that says "Bushman Funeral Home." It's right across from the turkey farm. Trust me, you'll... smell it.
Frankie: [sighs] Now should I get there a couple hours early to fill out the paperwork?
Funeral Director: Uh, actually, your husband already took care of that. I spoke to him a few days ago.
Frankie: Oh. Great. Uh, but there's still a bunch of permits and forms I need to fill out 'cause we brought the body across state lines.
Funeral Director: Nope. All taken care of. Your husband filled out everything and faxed it to me from his office in Indiana.
Frankie: Oh. Okay. Well, I guess I'll just write you a check, then.
Funeral Director: You're all paid in full. Your husband split it between five credit cards. You don't have to worry about anything. All you have to do is show up.
Frankie: Thank you.
Funeral Director: You're welcome.
[Frankie walks over and hugs Mike]
Mike: What's that for?
Frankie: Everything.
Frankie: [v.o.] You know, Mike may not be a nurturer in the typical sense, but he picks me up in ways I don't even know about. And that night he picked me up three more times on the way to the room. I picked him up once. Yeah. We partied hard Aunt Edie-style. Hey, she lived 'till 96, can't be that bad for you.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Do we have any details about the cause of Aunt Edie's death?
Mike: Just one. She was 96.
Brick: Interesting. Has anyone questioned Helen Riley? She was the perennial runner-up to Aunt Edie in the church pie contest.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Are you okay?
Axl: No, Brick, I'm not. I killed Aunt Edie.
Brick: I knew it! No one just drops dead at 96.
Quote from Axl
Axl: I didn't really kill her. Okay. Ugh. Look. Here's the thing. [sniffles] Ever since high school, whenever I had a test I wasn't ready for, or a paper due I didn't finish, I kinda used Aunt Edie to get out of it.
[flashback:]
Axl: Anyway, we just found out last night, so I think I'm gonna need a little more time on my philosophy paper.
Philosophy Professor: Of course. And just remember, Axl, it was your aunt's shell she left on Earth.
Axl: It was her shell. So, like, three extra weeks?
[present:]
Axl: Can't you see how guilty I feel about this?! If my hair wasn't such a perfect length, I could barely look at myself in the mirror. I used my aunt's life as a cheap excuse to get out of schoolwork, and by saying it so many times, I'm the reason she died. I killed her, Brick. I killed my aunt!
