Axl Quote #1006
Brick: [sighs] I can't sleep. Every time I shut my eyes, I see that cow.
Axl: Oh, now you see it.
Brick: Hey, this is your fault. You're the one that kept telling me to go straight.
Axl: [sighs] Yeah, you're right. It is my fault. I didn't think I had to tell you to stop when you got to the giant polyurethane cow.
Brick: Neither of us is innocent here, Axl. There's cow on both our hands. [sighs] I can't go on like this. I think we have to just come clean and turn ourselves in.
Axl: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, when we have a nerd emergency, like where to put a bookmark, we'll be taking your advice. But everything else, we'll listen to me. Okay, pranks like this happen all the time. We just got to lay low, and eventually, it'll all blow over.

Quote from Mike
Sue: You told Axl what to major in.
Mike: Axl needed to be told to close his mouth when he takes a shower.
Sue: But you gave up everything for me. I don't want to disappoint you or make another mistake. Tell me what you want me to do. You have to. Please?
Mike: Look, you were never supposed to know what happened with the business. That was my choice. And maybe I didn't do you any favors trying to protect you, but I just didn't think you should have to worry about that. You're asking me what I want for you. I don't know. I-I'll tell you what I don't want for you. I don't want you to be on a first-name basis with the operator from the gas company, even though Joyce is very nice and lets us spread the bill over three credit cards. I don't want you to have to share a battery between both your cars. I don't want you to have to hope for a tornado to bring your next appliance. I'm not trying to scare you, kid, but... it's hard sometimes living like we do. And, uh... what I hope for you is just that it can be different.
Quote from Axl
Brick: I panicked, and for good reason. There's no way we're getting out of this. In books, they always catch the culprit.
Axl: [sighs] What books?
Brick: How about any Sherlock Holmes novel? Have you read The Hound of the Baskervilles?
Axl: No.
Brick: A Study in Scarlet?
Axl: No.
Brick: The Valley of Fear?
Axl: No! But I have seen Captain America.
Brick: What happens in that?
Axl: I don't know. I kind of lost the plot.
Brick: Seriously, Axl, what are going to do?
Axl: [groans] Just give me a second. I need to think. [exhales deeply] What did happen in Captain America?
Quote from Mike
Frankie: I think we got to talk to her. I-I mean, I want her to do something that she loves but still practical, you know?
Mike: When did people decide they got to like what they do? Work is work.
Frankie: I know.
Mike: There's only four fun jobs in the world anyway. Baseball player, football player, basketball player, bounty hunter.
Frankie: Bounty hunter?
Mike: Yeah, it's cool.
