Brick Quote #454
Quote from Brick in The Potato
Brick: But I have been going to class.
Frankie: Are you lying?
Brick: No.
Frankie: Are you just in so deep you feel like you can't get out of the lie?
Mike: He's not doing his tell. Say, "I've been going to class."
Brick: I've been going to class.
Mike: Say, "I like sports."
Brick: I like sports. [whispers] I'm lying. [normal voice] I swear I've been going to classes. Look, here's all the homework I've been doing. And here's my Spanish test.
Mike: You got an A-minus on this.
Brick: It's one of my favorite classes. Now, can I please go do my homework? Or as Señor Frederick says, "¿puedo ir, por favor, terminar mi tarea ahora?"

Quote from Sue
Sue: Okay. I think I figured out a system for the three of us to share two cars.
Frankie: Sue.
Sue: Just hear me out. I promise you guys won't be inconvenienced at all.
Mike: You're already wrong, but go ahead.
Sue: All righty. Dad, you're the blue line, Mom, you're the red line, and I'm the green car keys. On Monday, I'll drive Mom to work, and Dad will pick her up on his way home from the quarry. Then, after Wrestlerette practice, I'll grab Brick from the library, and Dad will drop Mom at the Frugal Hoosier on his way to his softball game. Now, Tuesday might get a little complicated. It involves four different drop-offs, and Brick would have to drive, but only for one block.
Quote from Axl
Axl: There you are... finally!
Frankie: Axl, what's going on? Why aren't you at college?
Axl: I have the world's worst roommate. I'm not kidding. The guy is a total pig. He leaves his crap everywhere.
Frankie: Really?
Axl: And he farts constantly, even though he's like two feet from my head!
Sue: Really?
Axl: It's impossible rooming with the guy! He acts like I don't even exist.
Brick: Really?
Mike: Does he eat all your food?
Axl: Yes.
Quote from Sue
Sue: I am so glad you guys are here. Brad and I canvassed the mall looking for job applications, and I really need help narrowing down my choices. Okay, Tacos Olé has super-cool uniforms, but the Yamamoto Beef Bowl smells amazing! This is so hard! It's just like Sophie's choice. My friend Sophie is getting a puppy for her birthday, and she can't decide between a Corgi and a Beagle.
Frankie: You know, Sue, there's also a movie called Sophie's Choice.
Sue: Oh, really?! Was it about dogs? Was it sad? Oh, wait... don't spoil it for me. I'm gonna go start filling out these job applications. And, you know, a lot of these don't have space for a personal essay. I guess I'll just attach my own.
