Axl Quote #812
Quote from Axl in While You Were Sleeping
Axl: Are you shopping for barbecue sauce?
Brick: Indeed I am, but there's just so many choices.
Axl: Hmm, well, I can tell you the best barbecue sauce I've ever tasted is this one. Heck Brothers Old-timey Barbecue sauce.
Brick: Hmm, I do love a good family business.
Axl: Mm.
Brick: But I notice some of these other sauces are FDA approved.
Axl: Oh, they're FDA approved, all right, but if you're anything like me, you want the government out of your barbecue sauce. As soon as the government goes in, the flavor comes out.
Brick: That certainly makes a lot of sense to me. I'm going to buy two bottles.
Axl: Hmm. [the customer grabs a bottle of the sauce] Excuse me, ma'am. Uh, you don't pay for that at the register. It's old-timey. You pay for it in the alley.

Quote from Axl
Axl: We sold 20 jars of this barbecue sauce, so if that's not a sign I should drop out of college, I don't know what is.
Mike: Yeah, well... [turns the stove off] Take this is a sign that that's not happening.
Axl: What...
Mike: Heck Brothers are done.
Axl: If Paul Newman had you for a dad, he never would have invented salad dressing, and no one would know who he is. Dream squasher!
Quote from Axl
Mike: Okay, Axl, you've wasted enough time on this. Don't you have some schoolwork you should be doing?
Axl: How should I know? I haven't been to class. [scoffs]
Mike: What?
Axl: Dad, this is more important than any class. At a certain point, a person learns all they need to know, and classes just get in the way. As a matter of fact, I might not even be going back to college in the fall.
Mike: Oh, you'll be going back to college a lot sooner than the fall. You're going tomorrow.
Axl: Come on, think about all the people who dropped out of college and made it big. Mark Zuckerberg...
Brick: Mm-hmm.
Axl: Bill Gates, Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Mike: There's a lot of highway between a computer that changes the world and barbecue sauce in a bag.
Quote from Sean Donahue
Sean: Surprise, Susie Q, I've got good news. Someone I know is going to her prom.
Sue: What?
Sean: My mom was talking to your mom, and she said you didn't have a date, so I rescheduled a test and bailed on the intramural flag football championship and drove straight down here from Notre Dame 'cause I was not about to let Sue Heck not go to her senior prom.
Sue: Oh, um, Sean, that is so nice. So nice. But someone I work with actually asked me to prom, and I said yes!
Sean: Oh! Okay. That's fine. I'll just drive back. I might stop by and have a little chat with my mom about communication first, but it's all good. The important thing is, you're going to prom with someone else.
Sue: I am so, so sorry. I really...
Sean: No, that's okay. I'm a Donahue. I will smile through this 'cause we smile through everything.
Sue: Okay, well, um, I'm so sorry, again. I'm so sorry. That was so nice. Sorry. [closes door]
Sean: [o.s.] Mom!
