Sue Quote #788
Quote from Sue in A Very Donahue Vacation
Sue: Okay, I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't want to jinx it, but Brad and I got summer jobs at Dollywood!
Mike: What? How?
Sue: The entertainment committee from the park came to East Indy, so Brad drove up and we auditioned together.
[flashback to Sue and Brad square dancing before a panel. At the end of their dance, they reveal "Pick" "Us" in the lining of their hats]
Sue: We're gonna be performers! Ha! Okay, well, Brad is. He's dancing at the Country Crossroads stage show. I will be a hostess at Aunt Granny's All-You-Care-To-Eat Buffet. But I'll get to play a character.
Mike: Hang on. You're talking about living in Tennessee for the summer?
Sue: But don't worry, Dad. They have condos for all their employees right there in Pigeon Forge. They're really just cabins, but they call 'em condos 'cause it sounds fancier.
Mike: Does your mom know about this?
Sue: No, no, no. I didn't tell anybody. Do you not understand how jinxing works?
Mike: I don't know, Sue. I don't like this. It's in a different state with strange people in condos. You won't be home all summer. I'm not paying for it.
Sue: Yeah, I know, Dad. I-I-I got all that figured out. I will be making double what I made at Spudsy's, so it won't cost you anything. Oh, plus, the best part... I won't be smelling like potatoes anymore. I'll smell like fried chicken.
Mike: [sighs] It's not about the money. What do we even know about this Dolly Parton? I'm sorry, Sue, but I'm gonna have to say no.
Sue: Oh. I-I'm sorry, Dad. But I wasn't really asking your permission. I was just kind of letting you know.

Quote from Brick
Axl: Okay, Brick, I didn't want to do this, but if you don't help me, I might have to tell Cindy about your sudden penchant for older ladies.
Brick: She'd never believe you. Besides, after she kissed that other boy, she gave me what they call a "Hall pass," which, despite the name, does not give me free access to the library.
Quote from Nancy Donahue
Nancy: Frankie, it... it's okay. I'm not mad.
Frankie: Really?
Nancy: Look, people talk about each other. It's what we do. But the thing is, deep in your heart, I know you love me, and I love you, too. I mean, hello! You're like a sister to me.
Frankie: I am?
Nancy: Of course. And no matter what, I could never stay mad at my sister. Get over here. [hugs Frankie] Come on, let's go get a couple of those pineapple drinks.
Frankie: Let's do that, and I'm buying. Ooh, you know what else they had? Watermelon Daiquiris. Doesn't that sound good? I think I'm gonna try that one. [Frankie screams as Nancy knocks her into the pool]
Nancy: Oh, my... Oh, my goodness, Frankie! What happened?
Frankie: Did you push me?
Nancy: No. I think you slipped. See this spot right here? Very slippery. Oh, my goodness. Let's get you out of there.
Frankie: [v.o.] Did I really slip, or did Nancy push me? I kind of hope she pushed me. Because that would mean maybe, just maybe, there's a little sliver of Nancy that's down in the gutter with the rest of us.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [v.o.] Spring break, when everyone flees the cold winter weather for the surf, the sand, or, in our case, the couch.
Sue: I think they're gonna love it.
Axl: No way. They're gonna list it. He was very clear he wanted a finished basement.
Frankie: Yeah, but after they did that mold remediation, there's no way they're gonna list it.
Brick: But she's not gonna love it without that mud room.
Frankie: I wonder what we would do if our house was ever on this show.
All: List it.
