Frankie Scales

Frankie: Ah, no, I wouldn't even know where to begin. When I met you, I thought this could be my chance to see her again, and I did. And I... I just don't wan her to hate me. Daisy: Frankie, talk to her. You just have to show her you still care. Frankie: Yeah, I know. I guess you hate me now, too, huh? Daisy: Nah. Life is too amazing to have hate in my heart. Frankie: You know what? You really are special, Daisy Quokka. Daisy: Yeah, I know.

“ Frankie: Daisy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This whole time I didn't believe in you because you're not scary at all! Daisy: You already told me I suck, Frankie. Frankie: No, no, no, what I mean is, uh, out here, you've got skills. Why is that? Daisy: I don't know. I, we were just playing around, I guess. Frankie: Exactly. You were just being you! Don't you see, kid, you don't need to be the scariest in the arena, the biggest and the baddest. You just need to be you, a quokka. Don't try and be anyone else. Daisy: Oh, I don't know, Frankie. I mean, this is just the playground. It's not like the arena. Frankie: Oh, but it is. Look, the gap you just cleared is longer than the one you faced in the first game. So, now that I know how to train you, the only question is are ready to win? „ ~ Frankie Scales. “ Daisy: Uh, coach, you okay? Frankie: Um, yeah. Yeah. I'm just a bit tired from all the cheering, you know? Daisy: You're thinking about her again, aren't you? Frankie: Huh! What? Why would you say that? Daisy: Frankie, I know Ronda's your daughter. Frankie: Wait, what, uh... How'd you know that? You knew from the start, didn't ya? Daisy: Yeah. I knew. I know everything about you, Frankie. Your moves, your history, your catch phrases. And as soon as I saw Ronda, I saw so much of you in her. Your abilities, your strengths. Though she might even be a little better than you. Frankie: Daisy, I... Daisy: And... Why else would you agree to coach me...a quokka? You wanted to see her. Frankie: Look, uh, kid, these games, they were the only thing I was ever good at. And after they took it all away from me, I was lost. I didn't want Ronda to resent me as a father like the rest of the city did. I thought it would be easier if I just pretended I never existed. Daisy: Oh, Frankie, that's no excuse, but you should be telling her this, not me. You need to talk to her. Frankie: Ah, no, I wouldn't even know where to begin. When I met you, I thought this could be my chance to see her again,

Jerry: Frankie Scales. I didn't think I'd ever see your snout down here again. Frankie: I don't wanna argue, Jerry, I'm just here to support my athlete. Jerry: A quokka? I'm the head coach, pal. And your quokka's got no shot. Hopefully she only ends up on the bench, not in a chair like me. „ ~ Frankie Scales. “ Frankie: Daisy, you can't quit. Not now. You've come too far! Daisy: Look, I don't belong here. You know it and I know it. Frankie: What happened to the quokka I first met, eh? Tenacious, determined, following her dreams. But look at you now. Running away because you're scared? Daisy: Of course I'm scared! I'm scared because I just almost died! But I could never be as scared as I am having to go back home, having to live out an ordinary life, doing a job that's forced on me because of who I am on the outside rather than who I am on the inside. I'm scared of living out my life knowing that my dreams passed me by and I didn't even try! Frankie: Then stay. Daisy: Why do you even want me to stay? You never believed I could do this. Frankie: If you leave... Daisy: If I leave, what? Frankie: You'll regret it for the rest of your life. Trust me. Daisy: Seriously! How are you going to turn me into the World's Scariest Animal? Frankie: Huh, uh, ah, I don't know if I can train you well enough to survive, kid, let alone win. Daisy: I guess you were right. My dream was meant to be just that, a dream. Frankie: I used to love coming here when I was young. Runnin' around with my friends, playing pretend World's Scariest Games. Daisy: Really? I used to do that, too, back on Quokka Rocks. Frankie: You mustn't have been very good. Daisy: Why is that? Frankie: 'Cause you're lying in lava right now! Daisy: You played the floor is lava, too? Frankie: [Laughs] Yes, of course, Daisy. Everyone did, even old farts like me. You know what, bet you can't beat me to that slide. Daisy: Oh, you are so on! „ ~ Frankie Scales.

Daisy: Please, Mr. Scales. I... I know I don't look like much.

Frankie: What's a quokka wanne enter the games for, huh? Daisy: Well, it's been my dream ever since I was little. Frankie: Your dream is to get killed? Daisy: No! Frankie: Well, I got news for ya, you're gonna. Daisy: I know I can do this! Frankie: You realize you're a quokka, don't you, quokka? Besides, why should I care? The games turned their back on me and now I'm turning me back on you. [Frankie sinks into the swamp] Daisy: Um, I can still see your snout. Frankie: No, you can't. I'm in stealth mode. Daisy: Uh, yes, I can. Snout. Mr. Scales, you once said, "Never give up on your dreams." I'm taking that advice to heart. Frankie: Kid, life will be a lot easier if you just leave your dreams where they belong. Trust me. Daisy: Frankie, I know you didn't mean to... You should come back. The city will forgive you. Frankie: Nah, no one wants me back. Now, get out of here, kid, before I get hungry. Daisy: I guess that Ronda girl was right. I really am just a quokka. Frankie: You said Ronda? Daisy: Oh yeah. Word is she's the hot pick to beat Drago this year. Frankie: Is that so? Daisy: Yeah. And she's a mean crocodile, too, just like you. Frankie: You know what, uh, I'm in a good mood today. So I might just help you out. Daisy: This is your good mood? Frankie: And I'm gonna try and forget the fact that you're a quokka. Daisy: You won't ever regret it, Mr. Scales. Frankie: Now, look, just listen to me. Daisy: I promise I'll train so hard... Frankie: Ah, this is a mistake already. Daisy: No, no! I'm listening, coach. Frankie: Stop! If I'm gonna coach ya, you're gonna... Daisy: I won't let you down, Mr. Scales. Whoo-hoo! Aha! Oh, yeah! Frankie: What? what are you doing? Daisy: Oh. Dancing. Frankie: Please stop. Just cut it out. Daisy: Aye-aye, captain! „ ~ Frankie Scales.
