Mike Quote #800
Quote from Mike in The Graduate
Frankie: Okay, you're not gonna believe the school meeting I just had.
Mike: Well, the good part is he can't be tried as an adult.
Frankie: No, no, no. They think he's so smart, they want him to skip eighth grade and go right into high school.
Mike: What? That's nuts. Why would we agree to that?
Frankie: You should've heard the principal. He said Brick's extra smart. His brain is superior to the other kids. I mean, we don't want him to be bored.
Mike: Eh, I don't like the idea. He's got no friends in middle school, you think he's gonna make friends in high school? Plus all the kids'll be bigger. You can forget about him making any teams.
Frankie: Oh, would you give that up already? That's not happening. He threw out his shoulder tossing a dart.
Mike: Hey, if you let go of thinkin' we're gonna have bowls of fresh fruit in the house, I'll let go of sports.

Quote from Sue
Sue: Brad! Brad! The yearbooks are in!
Brad: I know, I know! Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Sue: Here! Three years of bad pictures, and it took me till senior year to finally make sure I got a good one. Ah! Yes! In her first decent picture in four years of high school, it's... Ana Hajarajanaan? Why is the name under my first good picture Ana Hajarajanaan?
Brad: Ugh.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] So Sue sat there with two shoes on the wrong feet, no cords, no legacy. I'd honestly never seen her this low. But then, an amazing thing happened.
[The students pass a yearbook forward until it finally reaches Sue]
Frankie: [v.o.] Sue couldn't believe it. Every page was filled.
Girl #1: [v.o.] You're always running down the hall so happy. I swear, I never once saw you in a bad mood...
Girl #1: [v.o.] You made me feel so much better when I didn't make show choir and also when I didn't make drama club...
Boy: [v.o.] Sorry we didn't get to talk all that much, but your pep rally routine to "fame" was awesome. You guys rocked...
Girl #3: [v.o.] And I look up to you in so many ways. The way you tried everything, I wish I was that brave. I know you'll do amazing...
Girl #4: [v.o.] No matter what, you were so positive. You made me realize, I need to be that way, too, 'cause high school's over in a blink of an eye and here we are graduating...
[montage of Sue's high school moments to Mama Cass Elliot's "Make Your Own Kind of Music"]
Frankie: [v.o.] Really, what is a legacy? It's not the speaking at graduation or the awards or the cords or the plaques. It's the thousand moments every day where you touch people even when you didn't know you were.
