Brick Quote #618
Quote from Brick in Hecks on a Train
Axl: What are you doing?
Brick: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I'm living life. [Axl groans] Look at all the dead trees and brown grass. I can't believe I've been missing all of this.
Axl: Mm. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening.
Brick: What?
Axl: My phone! It was working just a minute ago, and now it's completely out of juice. [groans] Trapped on a 20-hour train ride to South Dakota with no phone and just my family to talk to. [gasps] It's Aunt Edie. She's getting her revenge. I've killed her so many times. Now she's killed my phone.
Brick: You don't need a screen to look at, Axl. You're looking at the best screen ever... Iowa in the winter. [Axl groans] Soak it in, my friend. Soak it in.

Quote from Brick
Brick: Are you okay?
Axl: No, Brick, I'm not. I killed Aunt Edie.
Brick: I knew it! No one just drops dead at 96.
Quote from Axl
Axl: I didn't really kill her. Okay. Ugh. Look. Here's the thing. [sniffles] Ever since high school, whenever I had a test I wasn't ready for, or a paper due I didn't finish, I kinda used Aunt Edie to get out of it.
[flashback:]
Axl: Anyway, we just found out last night, so I think I'm gonna need a little more time on my philosophy paper.
Philosophy Professor: Of course. And just remember, Axl, it was your aunt's shell she left on Earth.
Axl: It was her shell. So, like, three extra weeks?
[present:]
Axl: Can't you see how guilty I feel about this?! If my hair wasn't such a perfect length, I could barely look at myself in the mirror. I used my aunt's life as a cheap excuse to get out of schoolwork, and by saying it so many times, I'm the reason she died. I killed her, Brick. I killed my aunt!
