Quote from Axl in Bad Choices
Axl: Guess I'm gonna be sick that day. Darrin: Wait. How do you know that? Axl: I know it, Darrin, 'cause I'm gonna pretend to be sick. Sean: You can't. That's Jack's party. Your parents will never let you go to a party after you've missed school. Axl: Sure they will, 'cause I'm gonna do the "sick, not sick." Just got to lay a little groundwork. Like, the night before the test, I'll be "too sick" to go to that Hoosier game you invited me to. Darrin: Hey. Since Axl's gonna be sick, can I go with you? Axl: There is no game, Darrin. I'm gonna pretend there's a game, then pretend to be too sick for it, therefore "too sick" the next day to go to school and take the test. And then, 'cause I'm young and awesome, I speedily recover in time for Jack's party. [coughs] Frankie: Are you okay? Axl: Oh, yeah. It's just a little tickle. [Frankie walks away] Like taking candy from an old baby.
