Brad Quote #64
Quote from Brad in The Show Must Go On
Sue: I am so excited, Brad. I can't believe two kids from Orson would actually make it all the way to Pigeon Forge. [chuckles]
Brad: Oh, slight snafu but happy accident... We have to be there Saturday, not Sunday.
Sue: Oh, that's a big snafu, Brad. Brick's graduation is on Saturday.
Brad: Oh, I'm so, so sorry. I was looking at last year's Lady Gaga calendar, not this year's, so I got my days mixed up. I just couldn't take last year's down. Nobody puts Gaga in a wastebasket.
Sue: This is bad, Brad. What are we supposed to do?
Brad: We? I'm a featured ensemble dancer in "Ramblin' Jack's Banjo Review" and I have a show Saturday.
Sue: Oh, my God. You're right. I'm just Aunt Granny. If I don't show up, they can literally put anyone in the wig and glasses and replace me. I mean, obviously I am gonna bring something special to showing people to their table, but they don't know that yet.
Brad: My God, this is so dramatic. I hate drama. I mean, I love drama, but not this drama. You know, Brick's only in eighth grade, right? That's not even a big graduation. Do you have to be there? I mean, this is Dollywood, Sue. Two years ago, a guy from one of the shows was tapped to understudy a spoon in the touring company of Beauty and the Beast.

Quote from Frankie
Principal Carson: Is there a problem out here?
Frankie: I'm sorry, but I can no longer keep silent. You can't do this. Every year, the kids can just perform. Now all of a sudden, there's secret drawings and fuzzy math and interrogations without a parent present. It's ridiculous.
Principal Carson: Look, I understand you're upset, and I know every parent cares about their kid.
Frankie: Oh, that's where you're wrong! I don't! I forget to pack their lunches. I put stars on calendars and can't remember what they're for. I'm not a helicopter parent. I'm a couch! I'm a self-driving couch that just watches TV. So I think that when a parent who has a history of sucking as much as I do takes the time to show up, you better stand up and take notice! I am cramming 10 years of not caring into this one fight. My kid is gonna sing at that ceremony, or I will burn this place to the ground!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [bell dinging rapidly] I need to speak to the principal, so you better get him or her out here right now. [dinging continues]
Quote from Sue
Sue: [Southern accent] If y'all would just step right this way, Aunt Granny would be durned pleased [British accent] to show you to your eatin' spot. [normal voice] How was that? I feel like sometimes my southern slips into British.
Axl: Didn't notice. I don't hear your voice. Spent my whole life training myself to block it out.
Sue: Okay, well, I got to lock this thing down before I leave for Dollywood on Sunday. Here, let me try one more.
Frankie: Do you have to go for the whole summer? Don't leave me with all these boys. I'm gonna miss you.
Sue: Mm. [British accent] I'll miss you, too, Mum. [normal voice] Seriously?
