Brick Quote #79
Quote from Brick in The Break Up
Student: Oh, no! Zombies! Don't eat my brain! [laughs]
Sue: Thanks a lot, Brick! Why were you standing there, staring at me like a zombie?
Brick: I was memorizing the fire escape plan in case the zombies set the place on fire.
Sue: You idiot! Zombies are afraid of fire! That doesn't even make sense.
Frankie: Okay, what is going on? You two have been acting weird all week.
Sue: I let Brick stay up and watch a scary movie, and now he's scarred for life, and so am I, and I am a horrible, horrible babysitter.
Frankie: Is that what this is all about? If there really were zombies, don't you think it would be on the news or Access Hollywood or something? Come on.
Brick: See? I told you Mom would make it better.

Quote from Mike
Frankie: There's just something I want you to hear.
Mike: [on tape] [crying] Frankie, it's me. [rock music plays] [sniffles] You hear that? It's our song, baby. It came on the radio and I... Oh, I had to call you. Please, Frankie. Please take me back. I'm so lost without you.
Axl: Oh, God! Is that dad?
Frankie: Yes. Yes, it is. He left this on my machine after we broke up for a few weeks when we were first dating.
Axl: Are you serious?
Mike: [sings] Your baby needs someone to believe in [sings] I'm gonna hold on loosely, but I won't let go...
Frankie: See? Everyone hurts sometimes, even your dad.
Axl: Dude, he sounds like such a dork! Is that how I sounded? God!
Mike: Who's the dork?
Mike: [on tape] If you get this before morning, call my pager. I'm at the Chi-Chi's on route 42, waiting by the pay phone. The chi-chi's where we sat in back and fed each other nachos, remember? [crying] I love you, Frankie. I love you so much, my heart...
Mike: Frankie, what are you doing? Are you nuts?! Where did you get that?! What... What even is that?! I can't believe that you saved that. Besides, I don't even think that's me.
Quote from Sue
[While in the bathroom, Sue goes to draw back the shower curtain. When she spots Brick sitting in the bath tub, they both scream]
Sue: What are you doing?
Brick: I was too scared to sleep, and this is the only room in the house where I got to keep the lights on all night.
Sue: [sighs] I couldn't sleep either. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw zombies ripping the guts out of Taylor Lautner!
Brick: Maybe we should tell mom we saw the movie.
Sue: No, you can't tell mom! She'll think I'm a bad babysitter.
Brick: You are a bad babysitter! You let me watch a scary movie I am too young for. Besides, mom always makes it better when I'm scared.
Sue: Did the mom in the zombie movie make it better? No. She ate her baby's face off.
Quote from Brick
Sue: Okay, here we go.
Brick: What are you doing? I don't want to watch it again!
Sue: Trust me. If we watch it again during the day, we'll see how silly it is, and we'll totally laugh about it, and the movie will lose its power over us.
[later:]
Sue: Oh, my God! I thought those zombies were eating hamburger last time. They're really eating that nun's liver!
Brick: I just realized zombieism is just cannibalism in virus form. This can actually happen!
Sue: Aah!
