Axl Quote #557
Quote from Axl in The Potato
Frankie: Hmm. What is like living with someone like that?
Axl: Mm. I could tell you some stories. [wipes nose on Brick's shirt] Anyway, I'm gonna need you guys to kick in an extra 50 bucks a month so I can move into a single dorm. $60 gets me a pond view... just saying.
Mike: Great. I'll just call the bank and have them release some money from your discretionary fund.
Axl: Awesome. Now, if you can just scoot three feet to your right, this will have been the perfect conversation.
Mike: Axl, we're not giving you any money.
Axl: It's only 50 extra bucks a month!
Frankie: Axl, your dad's wearing a belt he found on a park bench. We're not giving you any more money.
Axl: Oh, come on! We have all worked so hard to get me to where I am. Now is not the time to give up!
Mike: Actually, we're very comfortable giving up.
Axl: So that's it? You're just gonna cry poverty? It's not like you guys are doing everything you could do. Mom, you can't possibly say you're working to capacity. I mean, you're home now, aren't you? And, Dad, you could pick up a few extra night shifts. I mean, what are you rushing home to, anyway?

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.
