Brick Quote #210

Quote from Brick in The Prom

Mike: [sighs] I know you're expecting me to apologize, but I'm not. I think you need to hear it straight. Your plays just haven't been good.
Brick: Gee, thanks for following me in here to hit that home.
Mike: No, you know what? The first show you did was good, but that's 'cause you worked on it. After that, you gotta admit, you were just making stuff up and holding everybody hostage, and that's when it got boring and endless. So I think you just have to learn that you can't do that to people. You understand?
Brick: Sure, Dad, I understand.
Mike: Good.
Brick: Just as I'm sure you understand how there are a lot of things you do that I find boring and endless. Like taking me to the hardware store.
Mike: I thought you liked our hardware store trips.
Brick: It's a slow death. Or hearing for the millionth time about your new Gore-tex gloves and how they "wick away the water." I get it. They keep your hands dry.
Mike: It's a new technology.
Brick: But I never said anything, 'cause I didn't want to hurt your feelings. You make allowances for family, Dad, 'cause it's the right thing to do.

Quote from Reverend TimTom

Frankie: So did you get through to him? 'Cause, you know, the clay's drying. We're sort of in a hurry.
Reverend TimTom: Hmm. Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Frankie: Wait and see? Okay, look, I took a quilt out of the oven and heated you a lasagna. No offense, but I expected some real results here.
Reverend TimTom: I know you're frustrated, Frankie, and you know why that is? Because it's hard being a parent. It's tough being mom and dad. [plays guitar and sings] It's hard being a parent You wonder why kids do the things they do Well, I said it before, and I'll say it once more Remember, Jesus was a teenager, too Mary wondered if he'd be okay But he turned out to be a super nice guy in every way He did, yeah. It's hard being a parent. It's the toughest job you'll ever do And it's the most rewarding, too Remember how they used to spit up on you? But don't worry. This'll pass, too. Yeah... [strums chord] It's hard being a parent.

Quote from Axl

Sean: Mrs. Heck, you're looking fashionable this afternoon.
Frankie: Well, these are my cleanest sweats. What are you guys up to?
Axl: Trying to figure out which Ashley I asked to prom. Next.
Frankie: Axl, you don't know who you asked?
Axl: I had a system: go down a list of chicks, text 'em one-by-one, but you got me this cheap phone with tiny buttons, so I texted some random Ashley girl by mistake, who said yes, and I don't even know who she is. Way to go, Mom.
