Frankie Quote #1967
Quote from Frankie in Split Decision
Mike: So, Axl, they give you any kind of a time frame? When do you have to let 'em know?
Axl: Well, I talked to them this morning. I mean, they said I could take a week to think about it. They know it's a big decision for me 'cause I'd be moving my whole life to Denver. I mean, it's a cool city.
Frankie: Yeah, yeah, it is cool. I mean, you can't bake a cake there, so, just sayin', don't expect any cake.
Axl: What do you mean?
Frankie: Oh, you know, 'cause of the elevation. They call it the "Mile High City" which, if you ask me, it's not a big selling point. Who wants to be a mile high? I mean, seriously, you go a mile straight up right now... tell me one good thing about it.
Mike: Just talking here, Frankie... nothing's decided.
Frankie: Yeah, no. That's great. That's what great about having a family dinner, so everybody can just kind of bounce ideas around, you know? So, w-what have ya been thinking? Like, just bounce, bounce, bounce.
Axl: I don't know. I mean, part of me doesn't want to leave 'cause, you know, I don't want to be away from Lexie. But then again, I'd make more money at the new job.
Frankie: You know what's weird, is, like, when somebody comes to a really good decision, and then they say, "Then again." I have never understood that. "Then again" is a really overused phrase.
Mike: Then again, it is his decision, Frankie.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Ooh, this is nice! Oh, check out that polyester weaving and brushed aluminum finish... sturdy and attractive, yet lightweight. How are you not leaping off the couch in excitement right now?
Sue: What are you even doing, Brick?
Brick: You didn't hear? The fabric on my chair frayed, and so I thought, "Oh no, is this the beginning of the end for my chair?" So I got another one as a backup. The whole family's talking about it. Hold the phone! Maybe this will get you off the couch. A bonus chair! Two for one, baby!
Sue: You have two, but I will forever be one.
Brick: This is incredible. This morning I had one frayed chair, and now I have a backup to my backup. All my problems are solved. Chair-mageddon has been avoided. The chair recognizes Brick. I'm breathing rarefied chair. We need your daughter to chair up. Ha!
Quote from Mike
Mike: I've always liked the hardware store. Hardware stores are very underrated as places to clear your head. People think churches and mountaintops are so great. This works for me.
Quote from Frankie
Mike: So, that Royal Wedding was fun, huh? Sign me up for the next one. Hey, uh, I thought I'd go out and grab us some donuts. You want anything?
Frankie: Hmm, let me think. What do I want? I want my son back, that's what I want.
Mike: Come on, Frankie, I knew you'd be upset so I was just trying to shield you from all that.
Frankie: Oh, thank you so much. I just love it when men shield me from things. You are so not trying to protect me. You are trying to protect yourself from all of this.
Mike: Can you blame me? Look, I knew if I told you two weeks ago when he went on the interview, you'd be worrying this whole time, so I did you a favor and saved you from two whole weeks of worry.
Frankie: You did not do me a favor. If you had told me two weeks ago, I would be done with my worrying and I would be fine now.
Mike: So, you'll be fine in two weeks?
Frankie: No, I will not be fine in two weeks. I will never be fine. I cannot belive you aided and abetted him in this.
Mike: We didn't plan a bank heist, Frankie. And besides, you're the one who pushed him to go to Europe.
Frankie: Don't you dare throw my good mothering in my face. That trip was to get traveling out of his system. Now our son is actually moving to another city for his whole life. This is like taking our seed and flinging it all the way to Denver.
Mike: Flinging our seed? What the hell are you talking about?
