Brick: Sue, how old were you when mom let you stay home alone?
Sue: Let's see. She left me alone twice accidentally when I was 8, and then on purpose when I was 9.
Brick: What?!
Frankie: First of all, there's no way that that's true, and if it is true, it's because girls mature faster than boys.
Brick: Axl, how old were you when mom let you stay home alone?
Frankie: You don't have to answer that! You're not on trial here.
Axl: Huh. Let's see. Uh... Well, accidentally when I was 6, and then for real when I was about 9. Hey, don't sweat it. People just mature at different rates, you know? [spills orange juice]
Brick: Well, well, well. Isn't this an interesting development? Seems I should certainly be treated with the same trust as my brother and sister, who have come before me. Don't you guys agree?
Axl: I don't think you should be allowed to stay home alone, but I do agree... It's torture being with mom.
