Brick Quote #747
Quote from Brick in Film, Friends and Fruit Pies
Brick: Well, I'm doomed. My entire production schedule has been completely thrown into chaos!
Frankie: Why? What happened?
Brick: I lost my actors. Cindy called, and she said she has a sore throat and her great-aunt died. Then Troy called and says he has the flu and his great-uncle died. I mean, what are the odds of both of them being sick and having dead relatives on the same day?
Frankie: Slim, Brick. Very slim.
Brick: What are you saying?
Frankie: Well, you have been kind of hard on your friends. "No bathroom breaks! You'll eat when you get it right!" It may not be fun for them anymore.
Mike: Or ever.
Brick: But I'm the director. It's my job to bring Knots Landing to life. I mean, a writer wrote this. All I want to do is be faithful to the material and make sure it's executed to the promise of the script.
Frankie: Look, I'm just saying, Troy and Cindy volunteered to help you. You might start being a little nicer to them. You can't afford to lose friends, Brick. You don't have a lot of options.

Quote from Mike
Mike: Sue, you got to come clean. You're too young to be in debt. It's different for us. We have a long-range financial plan where we die before we have to pay anybody off. But you don't have that cushion.
Quote from Sue
Mike: Hang on a sec. Where's all this money coming from?
Sue: Well, I've been using my Spudsy's money, and I popped all the quarters out of my 50 states collector's book, and I've been donating plasma. I'm not exactly sure what plasma is, and I don't know if you need it, but, from the way I've been feeling, I'm guessing you do.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Can you sign this form saying you take full responsibility for the school camera, editing equipment, the sound equipment, and lighting packet while it's in my possession?
Frankie: No, we will not.
Brick: Well, then I'll have to do that signature Axl taught me, 'cause I really need it for this project I'm doing for film class. Oh, heads up... I'm working on a shoestring budget, so I'm gonna be shooting it entirely in the house.
Mike: A horror movie, is it?
Brick: Well, the assignment is to take an important piece of film history and interpret it as our own. I'm thinking either Battleship Potemkin or Knots Landing. I love Knots Landing. I binge-watched all 14 seasons when we inherited that box of Aunt Edie's old tapes. Now, I know what you're thinking... Sure, Battleship Potemkin was named the greatest film of all time, but Knots Landing just has the undefinable "it." Plus it's one of the few true historical records we have of the 1980s.
Frankie: The '80s weren't that long ago, Brick.
Mike: It was 30-some years ago.
Frankie: Holy crap.
Brick: Well, I better get on it. I'll be in Sue's room, scouting locations. Also, I'm still on the fence, but the episode I'm looking at may require a small car explosion.
