Brick Quote #417
Quote from Brick in Winners and Losers
Frankie: Hey, Brick. Brick? What are doing here? You're home. What happened?
Mike: Well, we got back to the school, and everyone was real excited to see their parents, and I thought you'd be there, but you weren't. All the other parents were there. A lot of them had "Welcome Home" signs, and I was waiting and waiting, thinking you'd come, but you didn't. So I got a ride home with Mrs. Donahue, and she couldn't believe that you wouldn't have picked me up. She thought something must have happened to you, but... I guess not.
Axl: And the Oscar for worst mother goes to...
Frankie: No, no, no, no. That's not right. I was supposed to pick you up tomorrow. It was a 3-day trip: Friday, Saturday, Su- I can still buy you candy.
Brick: You were worried about me being irresponsible, and you didn't even pick me up.
Frankie: All right, I think you're stating what we all already know, but you're home now. So come on. Sit down. I wanna hear all about your trip.
Brick: Ah, forget it.
Frankie: No. Come on, Brick. I'm sorry. I wanna hear all about it. [to Sue] Put in a tape.

Quote from Darrin
Mike: So I understand you're interested in taking out Sue.
Darrin: Yes, sir.
Mike: I just wanna remind you that I work at a quarry, and I have access to dynamite.
Darrin: Yeah, I know. You have the coolest job.
Mike: I think you're missing what I'm saying here, Darrin. I'm saying if you're gonna go out with Sue, when you're with her, I want you to picture my face.
Darrin: No offense, sir, but that's sort of a mood killer. I really like her, sir, and I will treat her with the utmost respect, and I would never do anything to hurt her.
Mike: Ugh. All right. I guess, fine.
Darrin: Thanks, Mr. Heck. I really appreciate the vote of confidence. And I'm gonna take you up on that offer to come see the quarry.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Look, Brick, here's the thing. If I can't be a chaperone, I just don't feel comfortable letting you go.
Brick: Look, Mom, I understand you're nervous. But I read books, and in every one, the parents are always nervous about the hero before he goes off on his great adventure. But he always goes, and he's scared, but he faces the challenge, and ultimately triumphs.
Frankie: Well, I watch TV, and in all the crime shows, little kids die.
Brick: Fine. I guess I'll just be that kid who didn't get to go because his mom was too worried about him. That'll be fun.
Frankie: [sighs] All right, fine. You can go.
Brick: Yes! I'm finally gonna be like everyone else. [whispers] Everyone else. Whoop!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Yeah. He's not goin'.
Mike: What?
Frankie: Are you kidding me? This is Brick we're talking about. Brick alone in Chicago?
Mike: He won't be alone. He'll be with 30 other kids.
Frankie: Yeah, for about five seconds until he wanders onto a bus or an L train or a boat or a beam 30 stories over the city. Have you not seen Mr. Magoo?
