Brick Quote #469
Quote from Brick in Halloween IV: The Ghost Story
Brick: Wow, you do not want to see the front of the house. It's a pumpkin crime scene out there.
Frankie: So, how was the dance? Did you talk to Harper? Come on, spill it. Mama wants some deets.
Brick: Well, she came up to me and said "Hi." At that point, I got sort of nervous, so my hands started to shake. Soon the shaking spread to my whole body. I tried to stop it, but that's when the dizziness set in. It's weird, you always hear people say the room started spinning, but it really did. I think that's about the time I bit my tongue, 'cause I tasted my own blood. At least I think that was my blood, it could have been hers. I clawed her face pretty good on the way down.
Mike: The way down?
Brick: Yeah, I took out the whole snack table. Anyway, when I came to, I was getting oxygen from the paramedics. Apparently, I banged my head on the punch bowl. They said I'm supposed to sleep upright tonight and you need to check my pupils once an hour. Clearly, I am not ready for a real relationship. Oh, well. We tried. Oh. They said I'm supposed to sleep upright tonight and you need to check my pupils once an hour. Did I mention that already? Hmm.

Frankie: Brick, you can't just stare at someone when you like 'em. You kind of have to, you know... Jump in anytime, Dad.
Mike: Well, when I was your age and I liked a girl, I would ride my bike by her house.
Brick: Yeah, I don't know if people do that anymore. From what I've gleaned, they do more communicating through social media. You know, texts, tweets, and whatnot.
Mike: They also don't use words like "gleaned."
Frankie: That's perfect for you, Brick. No eye contact, all words.
Brick: Yeah. I guess that might be more apropos.
Mike: But don't say "apropos"! [to Frankie] We really should redo the basement so he'll have someplace to live.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Okay, okay. Okay, what's next? Got to keep it rolling.
Brick: I'm gonna ask her if she's read Planet Nowhere.
All: No!
Brick: How about her feelings on fonts?
All: No!
Brick: Don't I want her to know the real me?!
All: No!
Axl: Oh, God, no!
Quote from Brick
Brick: Well, that was horrible.
Mike: Maybe next time, you listen to your mom.
Brick: No, it was a new kind of horrible. I mean, at the few elementary-school parties I was invited to, boys would run around and be stupid, but now there's boys and girls, and everyone just hangs out in the basement. Every time I turned up the lights to read, someone would just dim them down again. Next time I go to a party, I'm bringing my itty-bitty book light.
