Quote from Mike in The Answer
Frankie: "Sure"?!
Sue: Not my fault. It... it's Dad's fault. You... After Dad talked to him, he thought maybe I didn't want to marry him.
Mike: You don't.
Sue: I know! And I had a whole plan of how I was gonna tell him, but then he showed up and it threw me 'cause he was all sad. And he did the eyebr...
Mike: Don't you say "eyebrows," Sue. I swear I'll go over there and shave them off!
Sue: [groans] I just didn't know what to say.
Mike: You say no. I set it up for you perfectly. Then you come back with another "sure"?
Sue: It was hard, okay? It was in front of the trash. Our first kiss was in front of the trash. He even wrote me a song about it.
Mike: Well, the next song he's gonna be writing is "Who's that Giant Guy at my Door?" 'Cause I'm gonna...

Quote from Axl
Brick: Anyway, since deciding to give up my tics a half-hour ago, I've whooped five times and whispered three. By the way, I'm counting them now, so I'm scared that might be a new one.
Frankie: Don't be discouraged, Brick. Being aware of the problem is half the battle.
Axl: Don't listen to her, Brick. That's mom speak for "I got nothing." Fortunately for you, I'm taking intro to psych this semester, and we're learning about this guy named Sigmund Freud. Uh, you guys might want to pay attention here, too. [Frankie chuckles]
Mike: We've heard of Freud, Axl.
Axl: Yeah, 'cause I just said it. Nice try, though. So, this Freud guy, he had the hots for his own mom. [shudders] But it's all good 'cause he figured out a way to turn his perviness into science. He invented these things called the ego, the superego, and the I.D. So, what I'm saying, Brick, is, I'm pretty sure I can fix you.
Brick: Can you fix me by tomorrow? I'm meeting Cindy at the library at 3:00.
Axl: I'd bet my C-plus on it.
Quote from Brick
Brick: I've been thinking about it, and now that I'm the make-out king...
Axl: Kissing a hillbilly in North Carolina and your giraffe of a girlfriend does not a make-out king make.
Brick: I'm sorry, how many different states have you kissed girls in? 'Cause I'm currently at three.
Frankie: Brick, it's not very gentlemanly to brag about your conquests.
[Mike gives Brick the A-okay sign]
Brick: The point is, I'm a man now, and since Cindy and I have officially taken it to the next level, I've decided it's time for me to give up my childish affectations... the whoops, the whispers, eating an entire pencil over the course of a week.
Quote from Axl
Axl: What the hell is going on?! Why is Darrin calling me asking me to be his best man?
Mike: 'Cause apparently your sister's getting married.
Axl: And you two guys are just sitting here letting this happen? Why aren't you stopping this?! My God, I have to do everything around here. I have to fix the sink, I have to fix the Brick, now I got to fix the Sue? You are not getting married, all right?! You've got too many dorky dreams to fulfill!
Sue: I know, Axl! I don't want to get married!
Axl: See? I've been saying this the whole time... this Darrin thing was a trainwreck, but you guys are all like, "Oh, he's harmless. Be supportive of your sister. Stop making vomit noises when you see them together."
Frankie: Okay, who's really to blame here? You're the one that brought Darrin home for a play date when you were 4.
Axl: I didn't even like him back then, but you said, "You better find something to like 'cause I like Mrs.
McGrew." [gasps] Oh, my God. Her name is gonna be "Sue Sue McGrew." [Sue gasps] [Axl claps slowly] Nice parenting. Classic.
Brick: Tension's a trigger. It's getting worse, Axl.
Axl: Just keep snapping, Brick. I'm juggling a million balls here.
