Sue Quote #708
Quote from Sue in Cutting the Cord
Sue: Oh, hi. You're back finally. You know, one thing I was thinking might be helpful is if we write where we are on the memo board. That way, if someone is gone for a couple days, nobody has to worry or call the police. For instance, I'm here, so I wrote "here." [gasps] Ooh, something new for the room?
Holly: You got tape?
Sue: [gasps] You, my friend, have come to the right place. This is my craft box. Okay. Let's see. Tape, tape, tape, tape. I've got one-sided, uh, multi-colored, masking... [Holly grabs some tape] Okay, so, I want you to feel free to use this anytime you're feeling crafty.
[Holly sticks up a poster which reads "**** Life"]
Sue: [gasps] Ah. Oh. Okay. Well, that's an interesting thing to do to life.
Holly: What's the matter? Does that bother you?
Sue: Well, I would rather love life, but, you know, that's the great thing about college. You know, we can have different opinions, but we can still find some common ground. I mean, we both like posters and tape.
Holly: Okay, listen. You seem like a nice enough person. But I'm gonna save you some time. We're not gonna be best friends. Or paint each other's nails or stand up at each other's weddings or get together with our husbands 20 years from now and remember the good times. It's nothing personal against you. I don't like people. I'm just here to get my nursing degree and get out of here. Now, my boyfriend's coming over tonight, so... You can stay here and watch, but you can't participate.
Sue: Okay. Yeah. I get it. [chuckles] I have seen some TV-14 shows. I'm just gonna, uh, find someplace else to sleep. Or walk the campus all night. Either way, I'm good. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy.

Quote from Sue
Sue: [on the phone] [crying] Mom. I got... written up.
Frankie: S-S-S-Sue, slow down, okay? Focus. I need complete sentences a-and words.
Sue: It was all Holly's fault. And she doesn't even act like a Holly. She put swears on the walls and she's not even here now and I don't know where she is and I never know where she is. She never writes on the memo board. And she called Taylor Swift a skank, and I tried to tell her that she's just unlucky in love. And that I saw her in concert and she was awesome!
Frankie: Okay, Sue, honey. You just have to give it some time.
Sue: It's not just that. I'm making bad choices. I'm only eating ice-cream sandwiches, and I haven't pooped in three days! I keep waiting for nobody to be in the bathroom, but there's always somebody in the bathroom! I tried at 3:00 A.M., but that's when the barfers come in.
Mike: What is she saying? She can't poop in front of Taylor Swift?
Sue: And I know. I'm sorry that I keep bothering you. You said I was ready for this, but I... I'm not. And... and I don't want to be here anymore. And I hate college. And I just want to come home!
Frankie: Screw Ferber. We're heading up there.
Mike: Already out the door.
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] Meanwhile, Axl was having roommate problems of his own... About a million of them.
Axl: There are ants everywhere! How did this happen?!
Hutch: Dude, it's getting worse. I thought you sprayed something.
Axl: Yeah, well, all I had was Axe body spray.
Hutch: Well, now they're more confident than ever.
Quote from Axl
Sue: And she doesn't even put sheets on the bed. She just sleeps on an old coat.
Axl: Ugh. Well, at least she leaves sometimes. Kenny was always around. It drove me nuts. I mean, we're all buds now, but that first month away, I was... pretty homesick.
Sue: Really? I didn't know about that.
Axl: Oh, yeah. There were times where I really missed Mom and Dad a lot.
Sue: You did? Did you tell them?
Axl: No way. Why's that their business? [sniffs] Anyway, I just wanted to check in, make sure you're doing okay, you know, not sitting around, listening to emo music or something.
Sue: Yeah, well, maybe I'm doing okay.
Axl: Look, it sucks for everyone at first, but by Thanksgiving, you're gonna be having so much fun, you won't even want to go home. [chuckles] Except for, like, food and laundry, money, stuff. [chuckles] Also, I could never take a dump in the dorms, so I would suggest doing all your pooping at home.
