Brick Quote #117
Quote from Brick in Average Rules
Mrs. Nethercott: This one's a little sticky.
Brick: Can you prove it wasn't like that when I checked it out? [smiles]
Mrs. Nethercott: Okay, Brick. Looks like they're all here. Somehow you managed to do it.
Brick: See you in third grade, Mrs. Nethercott.
Mrs. Nethercott: Well, well, well. What have we here? Seems like we're still missing one book after all. This little piggy didn't come home, did it, Brick? Oh. And it's a big, expensive reference book. It's an atlas.
Brick: But I already searched my entire house.
Mrs. Nethercott: Oh, where could it be? If only you had a map to find it. [Brick sighs] You have until Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday to get it here. Otherwise, see you in second grade. [whispers] Second grade.

Quote from Frankie
Mike: She just keeps going. Where does she get that from?
Frankie: From me. I never give up.
Mike: You give up all the time. You gave up this morning.
Frankie: You're right. As I was saying that sentence, I almost gave up and stopped talking.
Quote from Sue
Sue: Oh! Maybe I'm in some candids from the lunchroom.
Frankie: Yeah, right.
Sue: Oh. I think that might be my shoe.
Frankie: Well, at least you have your class photo.
[When Sue flicks to her page, a "Picture Unavailable" message occupies her square]
Sue: Wait a minute. I retook that picture three times. I had three photos available.
Frankie: How did this happen? This is just not right.
Sue: That's okay. I'm pretty sure that one in the candids is my shoe. I'll just get everyone to sign it by my shoe. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's my shoe.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Hey, Mom, look. I'm using my history book as a plate. No cleanup for you. You're welcome.
Frankie: We got some pretty interesting news at your conference today. Apparently you're smart.
Axl: I am?
Mike: Yeah. Like extremely smart.
Axl: Wait. You sound mad. Your tone isn't really matching the words you're saying.
Frankie: That aptitude test you took? Your counselor told us you scored in the 98th percentile.
Axl: Out of how many?
Frankie: A hundred.
Axl: A-ha! Told you I was smarter than you thought. Good thing you caught me. I was just about to study. That would have been a big waste of time. [chuckles]
Mike: No, you're gonna get grades that reflect your smarts. Crack a book, to you a plate, get in your room and study. We're gonna be expecting a lot from you.
Axl: Oh, my God. You find out I'm really smart and you're still on me? I can't please you people. Aah! Stupid big brain.
