Axl Quote #999

Quote from Axl in True Grit

Axl: Oh, Sue, by the way, your weirdo boyfriend is chained to a tree outside screaming about owls or something.
Sue: Ugh, Jeremy.
Axl: [gasps] What? Do I sense trouble in dork-adise, huh?
Lexie: She's over him.
Axl: Really? Why don't your break up with him, dummy? Hm? Bleugh. [spits out chocolate] Almonds. [rumbles]
Sue: Ugh. Well, I've tried breaking up with him. It's not that easy. [air rushing] I mean, when he puts his mind to something, he just does not give up. And you know how weak I am. Remember how hard it was for me to finally be honest with Darrin?
Axl: Sue, look... it's very simple, okay? [rushing stops] When I want to break up with someone... not like my current relationship, in which I am very happy, Lexie, seriously, you're embarrassing yourself... I let them break up with me.
Sue: What do you mean?
Axl: What I mean is guys don't like to break up, so when they want to end a relationship, they just act like a jerk until eventually the girls break up with them.
Sue: That seems kind of mean.
Axl: No, it's not mean, 'cause we're letting them do the breaking up, so it's actually quite kind. Mm. Ah. [can clinks] I got to bounce. Thank you for the chocolate. [points to Lexie] She is really making me feel uncomfortable.

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]
