Frankie Quote #1689
Quote from Frankie in Road Kill
Bill: That cow's been there for 70 years, Frankie. 70 years. Never seen anything like it. I'm telling you... Orson is under attack.
Axl: Wait. What?
Frankie: Oh, my God. Didn't you hear? Somebody targeted the Orson cow, knocked it right off its pedestal. They found it just lying on the ground.
Axl: Wow.
Brick: Weird.
Bill: I'm telling you, it's the beginning of the end. You heard about the trouble they had in Jasper, right? Watch out 'cause Orson, yeah, it could be next.
Mike: Next for what?
Bill: Exactly, Mike. We don't know. I mean, this was clearly a coordinated operation planned and executed in the dark of night.
Mike: Who would want to attack Orson?
Bill: Just last week, I saw a guy with a dirty backpack hanging outside the Tastee-Freez, yeah.
Mike: Oh.
Bill: Now, could be just a guy walking across America for charity, or could be a bad element. We don't know.
Frankie: Well, the Orson Patch put their best reporter on it. Pulled him off the leaf-blower exposé to go full time on this. That's 15 hours a week.

Quote from Mike
Sue: You told Axl what to major in.
Mike: Axl needed to be told to close his mouth when he takes a shower.
Sue: But you gave up everything for me. I don't want to disappoint you or make another mistake. Tell me what you want me to do. You have to. Please?
Mike: Look, you were never supposed to know what happened with the business. That was my choice. And maybe I didn't do you any favors trying to protect you, but I just didn't think you should have to worry about that. You're asking me what I want for you. I don't know. I-I'll tell you what I don't want for you. I don't want you to be on a first-name basis with the operator from the gas company, even though Joyce is very nice and lets us spread the bill over three credit cards. I don't want you to have to share a battery between both your cars. I don't want you to have to hope for a tornado to bring your next appliance. I'm not trying to scare you, kid, but... it's hard sometimes living like we do. And, uh... what I hope for you is just that it can be different.
Quote from Axl
Brick: I panicked, and for good reason. There's no way we're getting out of this. In books, they always catch the culprit.
Axl: [sighs] What books?
Brick: How about any Sherlock Holmes novel? Have you read The Hound of the Baskervilles?
Axl: No.
Brick: A Study in Scarlet?
Axl: No.
Brick: The Valley of Fear?
Axl: No! But I have seen Captain America.
Brick: What happens in that?
Axl: I don't know. I kind of lost the plot.
Brick: Seriously, Axl, what are going to do?
Axl: [groans] Just give me a second. I need to think. [exhales deeply] What did happen in Captain America?
Quote from Mike
Frankie: I think we got to talk to her. I-I mean, I want her to do something that she loves but still practical, you know?
Mike: When did people decide they got to like what they do? Work is work.
Frankie: I know.
Mike: There's only four fun jobs in the world anyway. Baseball player, football player, basketball player, bounty hunter.
Frankie: Bounty hunter?
Mike: Yeah, it's cool.
