Frankie Quote #1411
Quote from Frankie in Siblings and Sombreros
Frankie: Listen, Sue. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to Axl about you. It was just wrong, and I don't know why I did it. And I should have known better, 'cause the truth is, I love your brother, but he can be kind of a jackass.
Sue: Oh, thank you! Sometimes I think I am the only one that notices.
Frankie: Oh, no, trust me. We all notice. But the thing you have to remember is that even though you're younger, you're way more mature than he is. He's 20, but he can be a bit of a baby. But listen, we don't need to talk about it. Nobody needs to say anything. It'll be just something that we...
Sue: Axl, Mom thinks you're a jackass!
Axl: What?
Sue: Yeah. She just told me.
Frankie: Uh, uh, no. Here's the thing...
Axl: Well, did Mom tell you she said you were a dumb puppy?
Sue: [gasps] What?
Frankie: I didn't say "dumb." I said "excited and cute." Who doesn't want to be compared to a puppy?
Sue: Well, did mom tell you she called you a big baby?
Axl: Oh, yeah? I'm a baby? You're a baby!
Frankie: I said "a bit of a baby"! We should all strive to be more childlike. It's magical! [Axl's door slams] [Sue's door slams]

Quote from Brad
Sue: [to a bird] Hey, no, no, no! Shh! Shh! Get out of here! Hey! Shoo! Woof, woof! Woof, woof! What are crows scared of?
Brad: [gasps] Scarecrows!
Sue: Ooh. Right, right, right.
Brad: [clears throat] [sings] I could wile away the hours, conferring with the flowers Consulting with the rain [drumming] And my head, I'd be scratching While my thoughts were busy hatching If I only had a brain
Quote from Brick
Mike: All right. Get your stuff out. Let's do this. Let's have some fun. [Brick opens his bag] What are those?
Brick: Oh, books about tennis. I've got the Arthur Ashe biography, So You Want to Play Tennis, and The Grapes of Wrath in case these are boring.
Mike: W-where's your racket?
Brick: I'm sorry. What do you mean?
Mike: Uh, I said, "we're gonna go out and hit."
Brick: Yeah, hit the books. I don't do anything without reading about it first.
Mike: I... can't believe you didn't bring a racket. I know I saw you put a can of balls in there.
Brick: Oh, no. This is Pringles, in case we get hungry from reading and need a snack.
Quote from Brick
Mike: Let me ask you something, Brick. Is this kid Tobolski a good athlete?
Brick: Oh, yeah. When we run the mile, he's definitely in front of the pack. I usually just run a few feet and then disappear in the bushes, where I've hidden a book. Smart, huh?
Mike: Mm-hmm, and what did your teacher say about you wearing each others' shorts?
Brick: Well, he doesn't really know us, so he just shouts out whatever name's on our shorts.
Mike: Aha. So he calls you...?
Brick: Tobolski.
Mike: And he calls Tobolski...?
Brick: Heck, I guess. Again, I'm not always around to see it 'cause I'm frequently faking a leg cramp to get a banana from the nurse's office.
Mike: [clicks tongue] Brick, don't you get it?
Brick: Oh. So you're saying...
Mike: That's right. You didn't win that medal. Your shorts did.
Brick: Wow. So I did that whole jumping jack for nothing? [Mike nods] Hmm.
