Darrin Quote #51
Darrin: Hey, am I too late for the big book tipping? Did I miss it?
Axl: Yeah, you missed it. Whatever, Darrin. [goes to close the door]
Darrin: Hey. What's with you?
Axl: What's with me? I don't want to see your stupid face right now. That's what's with me.
Darrin: That's not very nice to say that about somebody's face. What did my face ever do to you?
Axl: You told my sister you were gonna take her to prom, and then, like, you just cancel on her last minute?
Darrin: What are you talking about? She has like a million dates.
Axl: No, she doesn't, Darrin. She went to prom alone, and she wanted to go with you, so nice goin'.
Darrin: She doesn't even like me.
Axl: Oh, my God. Are you an idiot? Do you not see how she gets those weird, googly eyes whenever you come over and grins like an idiot? It's completely disgusting and makes me want to vomit. But for whatever reason, she still really likes you, and you really hurt her, and that's not cool. You do not hurt my sister.
Darrin: I had no idea. [runs off]

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: You know, I heard that Beyoncé never got asked to her prom.
Sue: Really?
Frankie: [v.o.] I had no idea if that was true. I mean, it's certainly possible. You don't come out of the womb lookin' like Beyoncé. She could've been awkward in high school. What kind of name is "Beyoncé"? Is it French or did her parents just make it up? Oh, I wish I could speak French. God knows when I'd use it. But still, sometimes it's just nice to be able to do stuff. Oh, my God. Your daughter is pouring out her heart to you. Listen! Focus! Pay attention!
Sue: That is something I've never told anyone ever.
Frankie: [v.o.] Uh-oh. She stopped talking. Say something. Take a shot.
Frankie: Honey, I'm sure you will.
Sue: Oh. Thanks, Mom.
Frankie: [v.o.] God, I'm good.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Trust me. It's gonna be awesome. You start with the first book you ever read, then go all the way to the last book you've read. It's your whole life's journey in books. Then we knock them down like dominos, video it, you show it in class "Boom!"... they go nuts. Guaranteed A.
Brick: But that doesn't have anything to do with The Old Man And The Sea.
Axl: See? That's your problem, Brick. You are a rigid thinker. That's why I'm gonna end up ruling the world. All the big-time rich guys Steve Jobs... other guys they're all creative thinkers, risk-takers.
Brick: I don't know about this, Axl.
Axl: Wha-- look, that's fine. Go ahead. Dress like one of the characters in the book and do a lame presentation like a million other kids. What do you want, Brick? Do you want to go the safe route, or do you want to be an innovator, a trailblazer, a rule breaker?!
Brick: I do.
Axl: Then give me One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and let's change the world!
Quote from Sean Donahue
Sean: Hey! Sue! Excited for next Saturday? I was just getting ready to pick up your corsage. Hope you like gardenias.
Sue: Actually, Sean, about that... I really appreciate you asking me. Like, you have no idea how much that means to me. And I think it would be really fun to go together, but somehow, I ended up with four other dates to prom. So, unfortunately, I won't be able to go with you.
Sean: Oh. Wow.
Sue: But it's not like I had four other dates when you asked me. I had one. But of all the people that I'm not going with, you are really my favorite.
Sean: Okay! Yeah, no problem. That's cool. I'll -- I'll just I guess I'll just head on back up to school. It's a six-hour drive, so I won't get back in time for the fraternity photo. But, hey, there's always next year.
Sue: Thank you so much for understanding, Sean. I am so, so sorry.
Sean: Hey! No problem.
