Sue Quote #642
Quote from Sue in Flirting with Disaster
Sue: We are here to claim our Sacred Key.
Oracle: Mm, sorry, we're closing for the day. Princess Kalakare's sitter has to go home at 6:00.
Sue: What?
Brick: No! So this is how my quest ends, just steps away from Princess Kalakare. Why did I think my fate would be any different than Gackos the Tatossian?
Sue: No! [clears throat] This is my brother, and you have to let him pass. We drove all the way from Orson to get here. He has read every Planet Nowhere book three times!
Oracle: So? So has everyone here.
Sue: Look, Planet Nowhere is about inclusiveness and perseverance. Wherever Planet Nowhere lies, it'll always be home. And that's why all these people come here! To be home! And to follow a quest as important as that, you cannot be denied.
Oracle: That's not what it is about at all.
Brick: It really isn't.

‘Planet Nowhere’
Quote from Brick in Flirting with Disaster
Brick: The Silligans come from a drier planet and are a rock-type people, whereas the Vernegos' habitat is a lusher, forest area...
Sue: Brick, enough! You have been droning on and on since we left. I am trying to concentrate. Aunt Edie's car is 3 feet wider than any car I've ever driven.
Brick: Sorry. Well, do you wanna listen to a book on tape?
Sue: Please. [tape rattling]
Brick: [on tape] But Soran would have to navigate the Asteroid belts of Norox without a working Pernovian laser. [whispers] Pernovian laser.
Sue: Is that you?
Brick: Uh-huh! I recorded the entire series on tape. I play them when my eyes are too tired from reading.
Brick: [on tape] As professor Faxon's prophecy foretold, Soran's quest...

Brick: Stop the movie! Stop the movie!

Quote from Brick
Sue: Oh, my God. Did you see the guy dressed as Professor Faxon's robot? He had on working lights! I wonder if he had to plug in during lunch. Hmm. Hey, you're being kind of quiet. Are you thinking about your key?
Brick: Yeah, sorta.
Sue: But... I don't get it. Didn't you have fun today?
Brick: It was one of the best days I've had in a long time.
Sue: So what's the problem?
Brick: It's you.
Sue: Me?
Brick: Yeah. Sue, today was amazing. I know you were forced to take me, but still, we hung out together, you talked to me. I mean, you understand Planet Nowhere now. I feel like someone in this family finally gets me, and it's right when you're about to leave for college.
Sue: Aw, Brick!
Brick: What's it gonna be like when you're gone?
Sue: Hey, I am gonna miss you tons. But you know what? You'll come visit me at college. I know Axl has the whole "no relatives" policy at his place, but mine is gonna be the opposite. You have to visit me.
Brick: Really?
Sue: Does a Silligan need iron oxide to survive?
Brick: [on tape] And with the Vernegos' triumph and the planet orbiting towards a new moon, Princess Kalakare bade goodbye to her home world, knowing not only would her loved ones miss her, but the entire planet as well, and they would all look forward to her return.
