Sue Quote #634
Quote from Sue in The Answer
Sue: Darrin, I don't want to marry you.
Darrin: You don't?
Sue: I'm so sorry, but this whole engagement thing came totally out of the blue. I-I didn't know we were heading this way.
Darrin: Well, where did you think we were headed?
Sue: I-I don't know... prom? I-I-I'm not ready for marriage, Darrin. I am only 17. I just got my braces off. There's a very good chance I might still be grounded!
Darrin: But you seemed so happy. We chose the VFW hall, and we were gonna go see the Mermaids. Oh, is that it? Do you not want to see the Mermaids?
Sue: No, Darrin. Obviously, Mermaids are awesome. It's just, my life right now has all these questions... where am I gonna live? What am I gonna do? And I don't know if I'm ready to have those questions answered yet. I have all these dreams and things I want to do. I've never seen California, I have never lived in my own apartment, I've never eaten a truffle. I mean, I've had the chocolate ones, but I think there's another kind. I want to travel. I want to learn to paint. I want to cry when my parents drop me off at college. I want to live in a dorm with a really weird roommate and meet another girl who lives on my floor that I love and move in with her the next semester. There's just this whole list of things, and getting married is not on that list. I love you, Darrin. I really do. And you might be the person that I'm supposed to be with forever, but I don't want my forever to start right now. But that doesn't mean that it's never gonna happen. We can still date. You can come visit me at college, and I can come home as much as I can.

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.
