Frank 'The Tank' Ricard
[Leaving a message]

I'll be in the neighborhood later on, and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to get some frozen yogurt, or perhaps a whole meal of food, if that would be agreeable. Damnit. [Calls back] This is Frank Ricard...

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

You know I was thinking we could go back home...have some dinner and pop in the Sisqo CD...no? Weren't thinking that? Ok.

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

So what do you guys like better? Nurse or cheerleader? Oh, hi Nicole. Have fun at the wedding?

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

That's how you do it. That's how you debate.

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

All we are is dust in the wind...

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

Blue's over there. But he's wasted.

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard
[Trying to talk over party noise.]

Actually we've got a nice little Saturday planned. We're going to Home Depot to pick out some wallpaper, then maybe we'll hit Bed Bath and Beyond... I don't know! I don't know if we'll have enough time!

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard
[Funnels a beer.]

Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!

Frank 'The Tank' Ricard

Don't worry. The pledges will clean it up.

Woman
[holding a grocery bag]

What are you doing?

Frank

You tell anyone about this and I'll **** kill you. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, we'll have him home by midnight. [reaches into the grocery bag and takes out cheese balls]

Therapist

Frank, this is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of my office as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here.

Frank

Anything? Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I started thinking maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about. You know, and uh, and I started feeling... what? what I thought we were in the trust tree, in the nest, are we not?

Frank

I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.

College Student

A big day? Doing what?

Frank

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, get some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond,[then very excited] I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time!

I've had a hell of a day and even worse week. And all I want to do is get some **** sleep.

I...I don't know why you gotta do it...in front of the kid, with the f'in. All you gotta do is say earmuffs to him, [to kid] "earmuffs", and you can say "****, shit, bitch"...whatever you want.

Frank

****. Balls.

OK. I'm just proving a point. You don't have to celebrate it, Frank.

Frank

Blue, how come there's no ice in my lemonade?

[throws the lemonade into the pool]

Sorry, sir.

Frank

Drop down and give me ten. Now!

[bends down into a push-up position]

Yes, sir.

Frank
[Two girls are topless in the pool of KY jelly, waiting to wrestle Blue]

Are you sure you're ok with this, Blue?

Just ring the **** bell, you pansy.

Frank

BLUE! Do you trust that we have provided you with enough rope so that your cinder block will fall safely to the ground?

Y-Yes sir.

Frank

Blue do you trust that I do not want to see you die here tonight?

Yes sir.

Frank

Blue, you're my boy!

Thank you sir.

Frank

A little housewarming gift. To new beginnings.

I actually gave this to you for your wedding.

Frank

This model?

This exact one.

Frank

I'm sorry, I'm, I'm embarassed.

I hope you like it.

Frank

I Love it... thank you.

Peppers

She's a beauty, ain't she?

Frank

Yeah, what kind of gun is this?

Peppers

It's a tranquilizer gun. If any of these little ****ers decide to freak out on the kids, I get to take them down. Ain't that right? [yanks on the mule's reigns] Oh, what? That's what I thought. Shut up.

Peppers
[Frank **** the gun]

Hey, hey. Careful with that. That's the most powerful tranq gun on the market. Got her in Mexico.

Frank

Cool.

Peppers

Yeah, it is cool. They say it can puncture the skin of a rhino from...

Peppers
[Frank shoots himself in the neck with the dart]

YES! That's awesome!

Frank

What?

Peppers

You just took one in the jugular, man.

Frank

What? I did? [feeling his neck]

Peppers

YES!

Frank

Oh my god. Is this bad? Is this bad?

Peppers

You better pull that shit out man. That shit is not cool.

Frank

Wait. Wait? Pull what out?

Peppers

You got a **** dart in your neck man.

Frank
[laughing]

You're... you're crazy man. I like you, but you're crazy.

Listen, I'm sorry I didn't call you on your birthday.

Frank

My birthday? What do you mean?

Yeah, last Thursday. Oh, you forgot your birthday, didn't you, Frank?

Frank

Damn it. I'm such an idiot.

That's really, loud.

Frank

Yeah, thanks. Took the restrictor plate off, thought I'd give the Red Dragon a little more juice, but lets keep that on the downlow, she's not exactly street-legal [waving to a neighbor] Hey Mike!

Frank

Yea, I'm cool either way. I just have to run it by Marissa.

Frank
[Mitch and Beanie give him a weird look]

I'm messing with you guys.

Not funny. Not funny. And now the baby is upset.

Just as long as you promise to take it easy.

Frank

What do you mean?

You know exactly what I mean. You've come along way since Frank the Tank and we don't want him coming back do we?

Frank

Honey, Frank the Tank is not coming back, ok? That part of me is over. Water under the bridge. I promise.

Frank

I just wanna tell you guys thanks for being here. Best day ever.

Frank, you need to walk away from this right now.

Weensie, you're on lifeguard duty.

Weensie

Sir, I can't swim, sir.

Frank

Speak when spoken to.

Frank

I had an awesome time!

Frank, I know that you had an awesome time. I think the entire town knows you had an awesome time. I'm trying to ask our friend Mitch if he had a good time.

Frank

Actually, I'd like to jump in and take that one, Jimmy, if you don't mind.

James Carville

Have at it, hoss.

I see Frank's dad made it out, I haven't seen him in like eight years.

Frank

I love you dad.

Frank

Jerry, are you a statistics major or something?

Actually I am. Minoring in Hebrew science.

Frank

Well, I didn't know that. Because you didn't tell me. Now I look like a jackass.
