Sue: Thank you for lunching at Spudsy Malone's. Welcome to-
Derrick Glossner: Hey.
Sue: Welcome to Spudsy Malone's. Would you like to try our tex-mex potato and put a little "South of the border" in your order?
Derrick Glossner: Nah, I don't like foreign food. Give me a pizza potato.
Sue: Here. [coins clink] [to Brad at another food counter] Why is Derrick Glossner here? It's weird. It's weird that he's here, right?
Brad: Well, you know it's not for the potatoes, 'cause they're not that good.
Sue: Really? Are you saying that- Brad, watch my register. [to Derrick] Okay, first of all, that is not okay. Those are for wishes.
Derrick Glossner: It looks like your wish came true.
Sue: [scoffs] What is that even supposed to mean?

Quote from Mike
Mike: Look, Brick, you're freaking yourself out here. The news is on 24 hours a day now, so they got to keep drumming up scary stuff so people will watch.
Brick: But it's all true. It's all stuff that's really happening.
Mike: Sure, but what you got to do is ignore it. That's what I do. Anything that's gonna be bad news: TV, the internet, parent/teacher conferences... I ignore it. Embrace denial. You'll be much happier. Then, when you turn 21, embrace beer.
Frankie: [sighs] Nice parenting there, Dad.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: The point is, things aren't really as bad as they make them sound. Did you know there's actually fewer kidnappings now than there were 20 years ago? It's just 'cause we get our news faster, so we hear about them more often.
Brick: So, I shouldn't be worried about being kidnapped?
Frankie: No, of course not.
Brick: Then why can't I go to the mall by myself or talk to strangers?
Frankie: Well, you still have to be on alert.
Brick: For what?
Frankie: You know, for things that will never happen but you should still be cautious about.
Brick: You just said I don't need to worry about being kidnapped. Why do I need to be cautious?
Frankie: Look, you don't. You shouldn't think about it at all. But... j-just keep it in the back of your mind.
Quote from Brad
Brad: Sue, I've been here an hour, and you haven't even asked about me. How's my girlfriend in Canada? She's great. Thanks for asking. How come I'm not driving my Miata? The mechanic says it needs a makeover. Boo. Did I get the male lead in the Annie musical? You bet your bottom dollar I did.
