Overview
Mike freezes Frankie out because he can't fathom how she inadvertently paid $200 for a small bottle of eye cream that she thought was priced at $20.

00:00:07 FRANKIE: How did I get here?
00:00:48 But I prefer the term "resourceful."
00:01:35 My eyes looked bigger, and the shape of the toaster helped.
00:02:35 because you don't know how to work a washcloth.
00:03:23 Uh-uh. I'm pretty sure that says 200.
00:04:18 Of course I remember you. Hi.
00:05:05 I never would have bought it if I thought it was $200.
00:06:14 - Really? You sure? - Yeah, it'll be fun.
00:07:22 There's never gonna be a good time.
00:08:12 It was a mistake. A stupid, stupid mistake...
00:09:23 Relax, this should be easy. All we have to do is pull out all the loose pieces...
00:10:14 Welcome to Orson Heritage Village.
00:11:11 Twenty is too much for three ounces...
00:12:03 FRANKIE: While skilled carpenters...
00:13:06 Sue. We have to get that back. Axl was using it.
00:14:04 Or another feeling I don't like to share?
00:14:48 But what?
00:15:37 MIKE : Then how come Bob's talking...
00:16:25 Oh, the egg's gotta be here.
00:17:25 to take care of the baby, you wouldn't be in this mess.
00:18:38 Please just rock the head.
00:19:25 The only room we've redone is Sue's.
00:20:21 If Obadiah and Rachel made it through all their crap...
00:21:16 - Oh. - Here's the test. Ready?
