Brick Quote #690

Quote from Brick in The Shirt

Brick: May I speak to the both of you?
Mike: Looks like you're already doing it.
Brick: It has come to my attention that with Axl and Sue gone, I'm the only one left doing the chores. Hmm, whose turn is it to empty the dishwasher? Oh, look, it's me. Whose turn is it to take out the trash? Well, since Sue's not here, I guess it's me. Who's next in line to vacuum? Let me eliminate the suspense. It's me. So, to remedy this obvious injustice, I've taken the Liberty of creating a new chore chart. As you can see, I divided all the labor up equally. It's time you two start pulling your weight around here and sharing in the chores.
Frankie: We do plenty of chores, Brick. It's called our life.
Mike: This conversation's a chore.
Brick: The bathroom is really gross. So, Dad, can I put you down for Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Mike: Uh, put me down for "no days" and "no days."
Brick: Well, that's gonna put a lot of extra work on Mom, but okay.
Frankie: Look, Brick, you're the one using the bathroom, so you're the one that's gonna clean it. Now, just get some cleaning supplies from the laundry room and get on it.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: All I asked was for you to clean the bathroom! How hard is that?
Brick: Well, if you want to do it properly, you have to get to the root of the problem.
Frankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brick. We are not "root of the problem" people. The surface is where we live. You start chipping away and digging down to the root of everything, the whole place falls apart. The filth and grime is what's holding everything together. You want to see a video of how we fix things? We wipe, we slide, we shove, we close. If a drawer is too full to open, move on to the next one. Never open it again.

Quote from Mike

Brick: I'm beginning to think you only had children because you wanted slaves.
Mike: No, we had them 'cause of beer.

Quote from Brick

Frankie: Really, Brick?
Brick: I'm on it. All I need is a can of high-quality thin-set and a ceramic saw. Randy Poteat on Youtube says, "Y'all got to do it right the first time, or y'all be back at it in 10 years." [whispers] Randy Poteat.
