Axl Quote #98
Quote from Axl in Average Rules
Axl: This kid who sits behind me, he used to do really well but he totally crapped out this year. He was crying, his parents came in and they were crying.
Brick: So the kid who sits behind you used to do well on the aptitude test, but then suddenly did bad on it?
Axl: Yeah, this smart kid, Alan Heung, and he was on this track to do all the advanced classes, but...
Brick: So the kid who sits behind you is named Alan Heung and he used to do well, but he bombed out and you usually bomb out, and now suddenly you're a genius?
Axl: Yes, that Alan Heung. Are you deaf? Now butt out and go look for your stupid books.
Brick: So assuming you're seated alphabetically then it would be safe to assume, if there were some paper with the aptitude scores on it that your name and score would be right next to Alan Heung's scores?
Axl: God, Brick, how am I supposed to know? Do I work in the office? Oh... Okay, I'm starting to get what you're saying. Go through it one more time.

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.
