Aunt Edie Quote #12
Quote from Aunt Edie in The Math Class
Frankie: [v.o.] Let's face it, to teenagers, old people are like alien life forms from a faraway galaxy they don't really want to visit.
Aunt Edie: How are things going in school? You're... You're in... What, the second grade now?
Sue: Uh-huh. Eighth. I'm actually working on a really big science project right now, so that's why we have to leave in a little less than 14 minutes.
Aunt Edie: When I was your age, I used to love school. I remember once we had to do this time capsule. You know, fill it with important things and bury it in the backyard so we could dig it up when we were grown.
Sue: Really? And... And did you? Did you dig it up?
Aunt Edie: Oh. We moved before I could. What a shame. You know, I think of it every day of my life.
Sue: You have? Oh, my God. That's so many days!

Quote from Brick
Mike: What happened, buddy? You don't get D's. We're kinda counting on you to pull up the family average.
Brick: I'm reading at an eighth grade level. Why can't I please you people?!
Frankie: Just reading isn't gonna get you into college.
Brick: Oh, I'm not going to college. I've decided to live with you guys forever. [whispers] Forever.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Okay. Well, see, Brick got a D on his math test.
Ms. Rinsky: Sometimes kids get D's... But not your son. Oh, no. He has to be perfect at every single thing he does, right, Mommy?
Frankie: [laughs] I... You know, Ms. Rinsky, you're very funny. Brick never mentioned how funny you are.
Ms. Rinsky: Are you helping him with his homework?
Frankie: Oh, no. He does it all himself.
Ms. Rinsky: He's getting a D. Maybe you should help him.
Frankie: Oh, no. We do. We do. We totally do. It's just that we can't help him, 'cause we don't really understand it ourselves.
Ms. Rinsky: Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm going to set aside some extra time. An evening next week... to teach parents a math class.
Frankie: Oh! That would be so... Wait. What? A class for parents?
Ms. Rinsky: Is there a problem?
Frankie: No. That just sounds like a lot of work... For you.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] What was I worried about? It had been months since I last saw Ms. Rinsky. She might not even remember me.
Frankie: [knocks] Hi. Ms. Rinsky. Frankie Heck. Brick's mom?
Ms. Rinsky: Oh! Not today.
Frankie: [v.o.] She remembers me.
Frankie: Would you like me to come back another time?
Ms. Rinsky: No. Sit. Talk. Unburden yourself during my limited free time.
