Sue Quote #846
Sue: I need to declare a major by Tuesday. I know I said I was all-in on theater, but I'm starting to have second thoughts... and third thoughts and a few fourths.
Frankie: Well, the good news is you have lots of...
Sue: I'm thinking German.
Mike: German? Where'd that come from?
Sue: Well, I'm taking a German class this semester. My professor said I have a real ear for it. [speaking German]
Frankie: Wow, Sue, I didn't know you could...
Sue: But I still love acting, and so I'm considering a double major of theater and German.
Frankie: Oh, I don't know. That could be...
Sue: But I really love horses, so veterinary medicine is still right there in the running.
Mike: You've been running with veterinary medicine? What happened to archaeology?
Frankie: That was two majors ago. Keep up.
Sue: Well, no, no, no, no, no. I haven't ruled out archeology yet, so here's what I'm thinking. A triple major with one minor. Or better yet... a quadruple major. My adviser says no one has ever quadruple majored, but no one had landed on the moon before someone did it. [gasps] Astronomy!

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
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 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.
