Sue Quote #749
Sue: Lexie, that was so brave. That was, like, Hunger Games brave.
Lexie: Look at me. I'm a mess. I'm going on and on and you haven't even opened your envelope. [sighs] Okay. Just because my life is over doesn't mean yours is. Go on. Open it.
Sue: I'm not gonna.
Lexie: What? Of course you're gonna. This... this is the Year of Sue. You've got big things coming.
Sue: I do, and I don't think it's being in a sorority. What if I got in? That would mean that next year I would be a person who helped make someone feel like this.
Lexie: Don't be silly. Yeah, it hurts now, but I'll get over it.
Sue: Believe me. I am all about sisterhood and philanthropy, but ever since the candle ceremony, I can't stop thinking about that book. And now I wonder... maybe we're not supposed to just sit around waiting for someone to love us enough to make us real. Maybe it's our job to love someone else for them to become real. We're not the rabbit. We're the boy!
Lexie: Wow. That must have been some ceremony.

Quote from Axl
Mike: So, you're probably not gonna want to answer the phone for a while.
Axl: I haven't answered the house phone in at least five years.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: The last time I went pants shopping with Brick is apparently the last time I'll ever go pants shopping with Brick, and I don't even remember the last time I went pants shopping with Brick.
Mike: I do. You said, "That's the last time I'm ever going pants shopping with Brick."
Frankie: It's all just going and going, Mike. The kids are growing up so fast and right out of our lives.
Mike: That's the plan.
Frankie: But there's no warning. It just happens. I mean, think of all the lasts I've missed. The last time I read Goodnight Moon to him. The last time he rode in a car seat. The last time I made pancakes in the shape of books he liked. I mean, it was a pain, but I'd do it tomorrow in a heartbeat. Well, not tomorrow 'cause I have something, but the next day, for sure.
Mike: Is this gonna be a whole thing? 'Cause, really, I just came in to go to the bathroom.
Frankie: Look at this note, Mike. Brick left this for me years ago, and I threw it in a box of old shoes. "Don't forget to kizz me good night." Yeah. He spelled "kiss" with two z's. That could have been the last time he asked for a "kizz" and a cuddle. And I bet I didn't do it. Probably had something better to do. If I knew it was the last time, I would have done it, but I didn't. [sobs]
Mike: This may be a bad time to ask, but how much were the pants?
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] On college campuses across the midwest, January means one thing... sorority rush. Parties, teas, and dressing to impress.
Sue: Oh! [laughs] Which one do you like better? The one with the missing strap or the one with the broken heel? I checked on kickinltcollegestyle.com in the "Brush up on Rush" section, and they said to be casual but memorable... Casuable.
Frankie: I don't know how it works these days, Sue. I haven't been in college for... [mumbles] years.
Sue: [chuckles] I just really feel like a sorority is finally gonna be my thing, you know? I mean, I've made friends with people in the dorm, but I just don't feel like I've really found my people. Or even my person, really.
Frankie: Well, just remember. If you get in, that's great, but if you don't get in, that's fine, too. Angelina Jolie was never in a sorority, and she married Brad Pitt. Not that marriage is the answer if don't get into a sorority. Or even if you do. Marriage is not the answer, is what I'm saying. It's never a solution. Oh, yeah. I like the one on the left.
