Darrin Quote #47
Quote from Darrin in Sleepless in Orson
Darrin: God, this is the unmeltingest pile of snow I've ever seen.
Sean: [groans] Our science was perfect. It was melting yesterday.
Axl: Yeah, well, it froze solid last night. Oh, I've never hated anything in my life more than this snow pile.
Sean: Don't forget Darrin.
Axl: Oh, right. It's a tie between Darrin and the snow pile. Okay, here's what you're gonna do. First, you're gonna ask for a few extra days due to weather-related issues beyond our control. After that, you're gonna go down to Orson Hardware and pick up a bag of rock salt.
Darrin: No, you go to Orson Hardware. You pick up a bag of salt. I'm tired of people bossing me around... you guys, Angel. "Don't wear that ugly shirt." "Don't walk around outside in socks." "Don't hold my hand after eating Cheetos." I'm supposed to be a boss, but I'm a boss of nothing. Well, from now on, I'm gonna start thinking about what I want. [storms off]
Axl: Wow. Air-conditioning school has really changed that guy.

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.
