Axl Quote #1011
Brick: Oh, my God. They've I.D.'d the paint color of the vehicle now. Why would you park the 'Bago out front?
Axl: Duh, it's called hiding in plain sight. Don't do anything different to attract suspicion. G-Get your nose out of a book and watch some TV.
Brick: I'm telling you, they're gonna find out it was me. I mean, who else could it be? I'm the one who lost the town slogan contest. "Orson, the heartland's hidden gem." It goes right to motive.
Axl: Okay, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. No one's offered up a reward yet, so we're gonna be the kids who volunteer their hard-earned allowance to help catch the criminals, huh?
Brick: We can't afford that.
Axl: Oh, my God, Brick, how can you be so smart and so dumb at the same time? It doesn't matter. No one's gonna collect the reward 'cause we're the ones who did it.
Brick: I don't like this, Axl. I don't like it at all. We're getting in too deep on this thing. I think it's too risky.
Axl: Wait. I think I got it.
Brick: A plan?
Axl: No, the plot to "Captain America." A small bunny cop and a con-artist fox work together...

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.
