Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving VI

Frankie: Stop it! It's Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving... the one day of the year we're supposed to stop complaining and stressing out and just give thanks! I mean, we have so much to be thankful for. We're all here together and we're healthy and we're... relatively happy. You know, there are people that live in the street and have nothing to eat, and here we are with this bountiful feast of lo mein and moussaka and root-beer cake, and we're inside, where it's warm and nice and... [alarm sounds]
Man: [over PA] Folks, this is not a drill. We need everyone to evacuate the building immediately.

Quote from Sue in Thanksgiving VII

Sue: Yeah. Works for me. I can pick up some extra shifts at Spudsy's. The mall's gonna be open for 48 hours straight. Except they don't call it Thanksgiving anymore. Now it's called Black Friday Eve.

Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving

Frankie: [v.o.] Thanksgiving around here is all about tradition. Spending time with your family. And being thankful for everything you have. Of course, everyone has their favorite thing. For Axl, it's my cranberry sauce. For Mike, it's my mashed potatoes. Sue and Brick love my homemade pie. But what I love most is the warm, loving feeling I get from... saving up to 80 percent on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday.
Frankie: Okay, it's one week to Thanksgiving. The mall opens at midnight, so we've got to be prepared. Sue is on Housewares. Axl is on Sporting Goods. Brick can ferret through the crowd, so he's on Electronics. We'll rally at the escalator at 0100.
Mike: Sir, yes, sir.

Quote from Brad in Thanksgiving VII

Sue: [gasps] Brad! What are you doing here? I didn't know you were picking up extra hours.
Brad: Aw, shoot. You just missed me. I'm heading home to bed. Got to get up early to help with Thanksgiving dinner. I'm added a fourth bean to the three-bean salad and pulling a layer out of the seven-layer dip. So watch out.

Quote from Frankie in Thanksgiving

Frankie: Okay. Got the new Thanksgiving schedule. It's a little funky. We're gonna have to eat dessert on the way home. And there's one patch midday where I'm gonna have to be in two places at the same time. But I think a test drive or a long bathroom break will take care of it. So, yeah, I think I pretty much nailed it.
Brick: I don't see the corn maze on here. It's only open in the morning, then they're plowing it down.
Frankie: Brick, I'm gonna teach you a little phrase that I think will come in very handy. I call it, "Oh, well."
Axl: You know, we went to Disneyland before you were born. It was awesome.
Frankie: [v.o.] Poor Brick. He was the forgotten third child. But there was no way I could go back in to Mr. Ehlert. He was gonna have to understand that.
[cut to Frankie in Mr. Ehlert's office:]
Frankie: Now the kidney is coming on an earlier flight. I need to switch to the morning so I can drive the kidney to the hospital. It's an HMO.

Quote from Brick in Thanksgiving V

Brick: Uh, I see stuffing. I see potatoes. I don't see any lime jello salad. You said you were gonna make me lime jello salad.
Frankie: When did I say that?
[flashback to a young Brick pulling on his mother's shirt:]
Young Brick: Mom, will you make me a lime jello salad?
Frankie: I'm busy, Brick. I'll make it some other time.
Young Brick: When?
Frankie: Talk to me in 10 years.
[present:]
Brick: Well, it's been 10 years.
Frankie: Seriously, Brick? Are you kidding me? You've been waiting for lime jello salad for 10 years?
Brick: Then you see the unfairness of the situation.
Frankie: Ugh. Fine. I'll make it tomorrow.
