Frankie Quote #1822
Quote from Frankie in Please Don't Feed The Hecks
Mike: What's the hold-up? I've been sitting on the tub waiting for lasagna.
Frankie: She gave us pepper steak, and not bathroom quality, either.
Mike: Mm. Tastes okay.
Frankie: Exactly. When has Nancy ever made us anything that's just okay? [sighs] You know what I think? I think this is crock-potted. I think she threw it in a Crock-Pot, went off and did some dumb charity thing, came back, and this is what I got. Hmm. She's playing with me. I give her a crystal bowl, and she gives me this? Unh-unh. I need to go over there and suss out what she knows. I don't want her to think I'm some lunatic who's just bartering old crap for food.
Mike: But you are.
Frankie: Yeah, but I don't want her to know that. What is the best way to do this? Do I confront her? Do I give her something bad and see what I get back? Where's that inflatable foot bath?
Mike: It's over, Frankie.
Frankie: No, it's not! I just need to figure out how to handle Nancy. I mean, if you know I'm pawning off old junk on you just to get you to cook for me, be classy and say it to my face. I just don't like the dishonesty. [sighs] [to Axl] I made pepper steak. It's on the counter.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [mouth full] I was gonna tell you.
Mike: Then why do you only have one fork?
Frankie: It's more romantic? Look, I know I was joking when I said we should trade the stuff in our house for Nancy's food, but then, just for the hell of it, I thought I'd give it a try. So I gave her the good rake, and half an hour later, voilà! Casserole!
Mike: Wait. The rake with the brown handle? That was the Norwoods'.
Frankie: Whatever. I am telling you, I am on to something, here. I mean, think about it... we got a house full of crap we need to get rid of, and Nancy loves doing nice things for people. It's a victimless crime. Except for the Norwoods, but they had to know when they loaned us that rake it was never coming back.
Mike: Just give me the fork.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Look, I know it's not his thing, but if you just told him it's important to you, he'll do it.
Brick: You really think so?
Axl: It's in their DNA. Goes way back to, like, the dinosaur days when the mama and papa dinosaur would protect the baby dinosaurs from people who'd try to put 'em in museums and stuff.
Brick: Hmm. I'm pretty sure that's wrong. But thanks, Axl. I'm gonna ask Dad.
Axl: Great. You know, a bus driver's a lot like a bartender in that, uh... [Brick returns to the back of the bus]
Quote from Brick
Brick: Well, as you may have observed, this route isn't exactly the rolling meat market I had hoped. Sophomore year is nothing like they make it seem in the movies, and it's quite possible that my breaking up with Cindy was a terrible idea.
Axl: Yeah, you're gonna die alone. No question.
Brick: And to top it off, Career Exploration Day is coming up where everyone's parents show up and talk about their jobs, but no parents will be there for me, which means I won't get the extra credit points, and of course, there's the obvious emotional damage...
Axl: Mom will do it. She'll wear a big purse and hit the janitor's closet for cleaning supplies.
Brick: Mom's not allowed to come since that whole thing with 8th grade graduation where she threatened to burn the school down. She's on some district-wide list.
Axl: Well, ask Dad.
Brick: If Dad didn't do it for you and Sue, you know he's not doing it for me. Sometimes I think I hear him run out the back door when I come home.
