Sue Quote #845
Jeremy: Look... Look, Sue, we can't break up. We're a team. Me, the fierce, tireless, natural-born leader, and you... the naturalborn follower.
Sue: What? You think I'm a follower?
Jeremy: Sue, babe, I didn't mean follower as a bad thing. I just meant that I have all this great knowledge. I'm the person out there on the front lines changing the world, and you're like this sponge that soaks up everything I say.
Sue: I am not a sponge. I have grit. Sponges do not have grit. Okay, some sponges have grit, like the ones with the pot-scoury side, but that's not the point. The point is you think I am your mindless follower? [scoffs] You want to know what I think, Jeremy? I think you don't do all this stuff for the earth. I think you do it for you because you don't actually care about anyone else's ideas. You only care about your own ideas and hearing yourself talk. So, pardon me, Jeremy. Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Yeah, it is, and it's going thata-way. And you are going that-a-way.
Jeremy: Wait, uh, Sue, the... the... [keys rattle]

Quote from Brick
Brick: I hope you told your mom not to wait for you for dinner. Font Club may run a little late tonight. We're having a raising Helvetica party.
Troy: I thought we were gonna discuss Garamond.
Brick: I'm saving that for Monday. Gara-Monday?
Troy: Ah, cool.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Anyway, at first, I was looking forward to going, but now I'm worried. What am I gonna say to a bunch of jocks? Can you give me some football terms to use so I don't embarrass myself trying to fit into the conversational bouquet?
Mike: Uh, first of all, I'd steer clear of "bouquet." Second, just talk about anything. Just be yourself.
Brick: Should I talk about Charlie Rose?
Mike: No. Why would you do that?
Brick: Well, I like his interviewing style. The way he takes one topic and really delves into it.
Mike: Um, just talk, like, uh, "Hey, what class are you in? Where'd you get those sneakers?"
Brick: You're giving me tall-guy advice. That all works coming from you. If I did it, I'm just the weirdo paying too much attention to people's shoes.
Quote from Brick
Brick: [whistles]
Mike: Uh, Brick, what's with the getup?
Brick: Oh, this? I've noticed high-school kids seem to be very into school pride. As you know, I live life on the periphery, on the fringes of fun. But I've decided, if I want to graduate having lived the high school experience, it will require total immersion.
Frankie: But you don't even like sports.
Brick: Correction... used to not like sports. Now all I care about is we beat the Bentonville Bears Friday night. The Bears are going down! I hate them based on their geographical location.
Mike: Good man.
Brick: In addition to sports cheering, I will also decorate my locker and perhaps participate in a school prank. One thing's for sure... count on a lot of selfies. You can follow my antics on social media. I've got this year down... like the Bears, who are going down. [chuckles]
