Sue Quote #362
Quote from Sue in One Kid at a Time
Sue: Here you are, chillin' on the lawn with your friends. Here's one of you on the football field... in a cheerleading uniform. You were a cheerleader?
Frankie: Was I? Oh, it was so long ago. Who remembers?
Sue: You were a cheerleader.
Frankie: Well... I guess I was, but only my senior year, just because they needed somebody small for the top of the pyramid.
Sue: [gasps] So you were coordinated. Why wouldn't you tell me you were a cheerleader?
Frankie: I don't know. I mean, who cares? Look at me now. It's not like it translated into anything.
Sue: Oh, my God. You were on prom court? [Mike walks in with drinks and immediately turns back] I can't believe you didn't tell me any of this. Why wouldn't you tell me? Is it because you think I'm not that?
Frankie: No, Sue. I just... I don't know. I didn't want you to feel like you had to live up to something I did. I wanted you to live your own life and not have this idea that you had to be like me. And honestly, I know at your age all this stuff may seem important, but it's not. It's like this dress. It was such a big deal when I got it, and now look. It's hanging in the back of Aunt Edie's closet, collecting dust.
Sue: You know what? I think I would like to move my 10:00 PM reflection time to now.
Frankie: Oh, okay.

Quote from Brick
Brick: It's 10:00 AM. I didn't know whether I should wake you up. I already made myself breakfast and did my push-up. Today is my day, right?
Mike: It is, Brick. Sorry, we're just beat. It's been a long weekend.
Brick: I decided I don't wanna go to the library.
Frankie: Oh, good. Oh. I mean, we don't have to go anywhere to have a special day. We can just watch TV all day.
Brick: You always let me watch TV.
Frankie: Yes, but we'll let you watch it in bed with us.
Brick: No, I still wanna go somewhere. While I was waiting for you guys to wake up, I read in the newspaper that there's a Planet Nowhere convention in Indianapolis today.
Mike: Oh, come on, Brick, no. It's a long drive to Indianapolis.
Brick: Perfect. It'll give me plenty of time to fill you in on the series. See, what a lot of people don't know about the Planet Nowhere series is that it's an allegory. Now, all the tribes...
Quote from Brick
Brick: And so, ironically, for the Vernegos to ultimately triumph over the Silligans, they must first abandon their planet entirely and wander the galaxy for - you guessed it - 11 centuries.

Mike: Don't tell your mom to relax.
Frankie: Brick wants to go to Don's Oriental Food.
Axl: Ugh! No way. No foreign food. I want spaghetti.
