Axl Quote #695
Quote from Axl in Unbraceable You
Axl: [yawns] Hey, Brick. [clears throat] I think I broke Dad today. Have you noticed he's been, like, slowing down a little lately?
Brick: Hmm. I don't know. I mean, he does seem to moan more when he sits down. And last week, he increased my allowance so I would tie his shoes.
Axl: [inhales sharply] I beat him for the first time in basketball the other day, and, uh, it felt so good. But then I beat him two more times, and it didn't feel as good. Do you think that's weird?
Brick: I know you don't pay that much attention to me, but I'm not really a sports person.
Axl: [scoffs] It's not just a sports thing, Brick. I-I'm not supposed to beat Dad at anything.
Brick: Why?
Axl: 'Cause Dad's Dad. He's like, you know, all powerful and stuff.
Brick: So why don't you just let him win?
Axl: Well, 'cause if I let him win, he'll think I feel sorry for him, and he'll feel even worse. If I'm gonna play him, I got to try my hardest, and if I try my hardest, I will beat him. See, this is where my awesomeness works against me.

Quote from Axl
Mike: I hope he's not gonna charge us to do the whole thing again. It's gonna put us in the poor house. Look at her. It's like a demolition derby going on in there. She's gonna have braces on for six more years. She'll have them on at her wedding.
Sue: What?!
Axl: Why are we still throwing money at this? Just move her to a bell tower in Paris and call it a day. [squirts whipped cream into his mouth]
Quote from Brick
Brick: My classmates are definitely getting more mature. Boys are sitting with girls now. There's a kid in the locker room with a beard. If I don't act, I could get left behind, so I dug deep and really did some soul searching, and I figured out what my problem is. I need a new backpack.
Axl: Uh-huh.
Brick: I'm using my "Shaq-will" O'Neal one, and according to a guy on a sports team, he's not even playing anymore. So I'm changing it up. It's a whole new Brick this year. And the new Brick carries... A messenger bag.
Axl: Here's your first message... no one cares.
Brick: Oh-ho, I think they will. See, the beauty of a messenger bag is you can adjust it to your mood. Left, right, over the shoulder, over the chest. Hmm. Maybe with just a slight adjustment. [the bag sags to the floor] I think this is how they're wearing it these days.
Quote from Brick
Axl: I would just like to point out I didn't get to miss a week of school my senior year. You people owe me a full week of leisure time.
Brick: What about me?! It's hard enough being the weird kid. Try being the weird kid who shows up a week late. [whispers underwater] Week late.
