Brick Quote #742
Quote from Brick in Floating 50
Coach Babbitt: Now, when you conquer a sport, there's no better feeling in the world 'cause you don't do it for some trophy. You do it for a feeling of satisfaction that you get right in here. Okay, now, Heck. And catch!
[Brick takes a rubber ball in the face]
Coach Babbitt: Okay, now, this is for an orange slice.
[Brick takes a football in the face]
Coach Babbitt: This one's for any book you want.
[Brick takes a volleyball in the face]
Coach Babbitt: Uh... I will give you my Subaru when you turn 16!
[Brick takes a basketball in the face]
Coach Babbitt: All right, forget balls. Personally, I think fencing belongs in the drama department, but we're reaching here. Heck? Hey, pay attention.
Brick: [as Yoda ] A Jedi master, I am! [grunting]
[later, Coach Tink has one eye bandaged as she and Brick lay near the dug-up hole:]
Coach Babbitt: There's nothing wrong with what we're doing here. We're just replacing "I can't do sports," with "I can't do small talk," just as I will be replacing this memory with a Cadillac Margarita at Chi Chi's.

Quote from Mike
Brick: We're having an "I Can't" ceremony at school.
Frankie: Oh, no. Is that something we have to go to?
Brick: No, it's an in-school ritual to help kids build a positive attitude. [Mike scoffs] We're each supposed to write "I can't" on a piece of paper along with something we can't do and then bury it in a hole.
Mike: I can't believe they're doing this crap. You know who's not burying words? The Chinese.
Quote from Brick
Mike: I'm gonna call and invite over a bunch of her friends.
Brick: Oh, no! I can't do small talk! Oh, I should have put that.
Axl: Yeah.
Mike: Come on, guys. I want to do this. We got some extra money from the diapers, so let's do something nice for her. You know, we really got our asses handed to us for Mother's Day. So if we can pull this off, she'd never see it coming.
Brick: Wait, so, all we have to do is be better than Mother's Day? Which one are we talking about? Yellow pants, expired gift card, or loose change in a baggie?
Mike: Somehow, we got to top all of those.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [to Ron Donahue] You know, I always thought I couldn't do small talk, but now I'm gonna try. My mother's 50th birthday brings up thoughts of the fleeting nature of time and my own ultimate demise. Oh, but look who I'm talking to. You're even older than my mom. This must be on your mind all the time.
