Quote from Brick in The Quarry
Frankie: [v.o.] I couldn't believe it. I'd accidentally prayed away my daughter's happiness. [microwave beeps] And if my guilt wasn't enough, God had found a new way to punish me. Brick: This hat once belonged to the great Harry Houdini. Frankie: Not now, Brick, okay? Brick: But it's not just a hat, it's also a portal to another dimension in time. Prepare to be amazed as this household item is torn from our place in the time-space continuum. [Brick shows the hat is empty] Frankie: Wow, it's a good one. Brick: With your indulgence, I will summon the remote back from oblivion. [the hat is still empty] Frankie: Okay, where is it? Brick: I don't know. Frankie: You don't know? That's not funny, Brick. We need that remote. What are we supposed to eat dinner to, the radio? Brick: I'll summon it after my nap.
