• Frank : [singing]  Stale beer. Fat fucked, smoked out. Cowpoked. Sequined mountain ladies. I love your wall. Put your arms around me. Fiddly digits, itchy britches. I love you all.

• Jon Burroughs : Can I ask you something?

  Frank : Sure.

  Jon Burroughs : Why do you wear that?

  Frank : ...do you think it's weird?

  Jon Burroughs : Kinda.

  Frank : Well, normal faces are weird, too. You know, the way they're smooth... smooth... smooth... and blech! You know? All bumpy and holes, I mean, what are eyes like? It's like a science fiction movie. Don't get me started on lips. Like the edges of a severe wound.

  Jon Burroughs : That's true. But your head is still sort of intimidating.

  Frank : Well, underneath it I'm giving you a welcoming smile. Would it help if I said my facial expressions out loud?

  Jon Burroughs : Well... maybe.

  Frank : Welcoming smile.

• [During a show, Frank falls to the floor in pain] 

  Jon Burroughs : What's wrong?

  Frank : [strained]  Your music's shit...

• Frank : [singing]  Coca cola, lipstick ringo/Dance all night, dance all night/I've got dancing legs, woo!/I'VE GOT DANCING LEGS!/They won't stop me dancing/No, they won't stop me dancing/Kiss me, just kiss me/Kiss me, Nefertiti/Just the way you like it/Just the way you like it/Kiss me, kiss me/Lipstick kiss me lipstick ringo that's the way you like it!

• Frank : Saddle up / Secure the galactic perimeters / Weak and strong, nuclear bombs / Now what's together / Will soon come apart / When it's all over / No back to the start

• [repeated line] 

  Frank : I have a certificate.

• Frank : [after improvising Lone Standing Tuft]  It's silly.

  Jon Burroughs : Frank... that's amazing.

  Frank : Flattered grin. Followed by bashful half-smile.

• Frank : We were in the forest like secret squirrels, and now we're likable! We're - we're so like... nnnnng... hmmm... it's gonna be huge! Jon fixed everything! You gotta come see us tomorrow night, I promise nothing bad'll happen to you!

  Clara : Let's go take a walk.

  Frank : I'm incredibly happy to be here! I'm fine! I'm relaxed!

• Frank : [calming Don, who is hyperventilating]  Easy, Don. Start again, from the beginning. Patient smile.

  Clara : Stop saying your facial expressions out loud. It's extremely annoying.

• Frank : Hey Don. Hey, partner. I remember you saying the desert here was your favorite place in the whole world. After Sea World San Diego... I know you were homesick, Don. I know there were times you wanted to come back here, but you didn't because of me. Well, you're home now, Don. I promise those sacrifices you made won't be in vain. Jon has foretold of a night, some nights from now, when thanks to Secret Camera, legions a-and multitudes of already adoring fans shall gather - and they shall receive our music in rapture!

• Frank : Yes... it's like an aviary! You're birds... rock. You're a cormorant... mana... moorhen! Clara - the owl, night-hunter, silent killer.

  [to Jon] 

  Frank : What have we got here? Lay an egg for me, little ginger bird. Lay an egg!

• Frank : Lips pursed together as if to say "Enough frivolity" - today, we begin work on the album in earnest.

• Frank : I've always dreamed of one day having a band member who shared my vision of creating extremely likable music. So, thank you, Jon. You gave me the little push I needed.

• Frank : We'll have many productive seasons here.
