Frankie Quote #1905
Quote from Frankie in Mommapalooza
Reverend TimTom: Frankie Heck, I haven't seen you in a while. And, uh, just so you know, there's no soliciting in the multipurpose room of the Lord.
Frankie: Oh, hey, Reverend Timtom. Oh, I wasn't soliciting anything. Just making conversation. [grabs her business card and puts it in her pocket]
Reverend TimTom: So, how ya been?
Frankie: Um, yeah, good. Really good. Uh, oh, Axl got his first real job, and it's Brick's big sophomore year, and, of course, every year is Sue's big year. She gave it a name, something or other. I can't remember, but it's good.
Reverend TimTom: Well, you just told me how everybody else was, but I was really asking about you.
Frankie: Oh, um... Yeah, I'm great, I guess. How are you?
Reverend TimTom: Oh, I'm a week away from opening my new show for teens I've been working on... "Listen to your preacher. Don't date your teacher."
Frankie: Really? Oh, that sounds great. I love singing. I used to sing... you know, in the church choir. And then I got some pretty good reviews as Ozian number 2 at the local theater. I don't know if you happened to catch that.
Reverend TimTom: Well, now, this could be God opening the window of opportunity. I've got some harmonies in the new songs I wrote. I always think that the message gets across better when sung in multiple tones. Maybe you'd consider joining me.
Frankie: Oh, pssh. You don't want some old lady... [sings] Singing songs

Quote from Brick
Sue: Okay, so, what do we do? Dad didn't give us enough drywall to fix a hole this big. He's gonna freak out.
Brick: I'm not gonna lie. It's gonna be really rough for you.
Sue: Me? You're the one who did this.
Brick: Well, you're the older sister who left her little brother to do major home repair on his own. Besides, if Dad flips out, I can just play the quirk card. I shrug, I look confused, throw in a few whoops and whispers, lick something if I have to... I'm off scot-free.
Sue: Oh, my God. You're diabolical.
Brick: I am not diabolical. [whispers] Diabolical. [normal voice] It's so easy. [whispers] It's so easy. [normal voice] Okay, that one wasn't planned.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Ugh! Come on, think, Sue, think! [sighs] [gasps] Wait! Ah. Oh. Oh!
Brick: "Sue Heck for Historian". "Sue Heck for Library Representative". "Sue Heck for Cafeteria Liaison"?
Sue: Yeah, I tried to create an office for myself, and I still lost to a write-in. Some guy named Joe Schmo.
Brick: How's this gonna help us?
Sue: We use the poster board to fix the wall. If we patch and paint it right, no one will ever know.
Brick: "Sue Heck for East Indy Student Council"?
Sue: Oh, that one's for next week. I really think I'm gonna get it.
Quote from Mike
Mike: Swedish death cleaning?
Frankie: Yeah. Apparently, in Sweden, when you hit 50, you're supposed to start decluttering your life so you don't burden your loved ones with a bunch of stuff when you die.
Mike: I can't go back to the grocery begging for boxes again. Even they know you're never gonna clean.
Frankie: No, of course not. I'm saying, as I was watching it, it hit me... I'm that age. I'm the age where the Swedes want me to prepare for death.
Mike: Come on, Frankie. Last week it was the Greeks and eating more olive oil. [Frankie sighs] Why can't we just live like Americans and die with a garage full of crap?
