Brick Quote #888
Quote from Brick in Exes and Ohhhs
Frankie: Hey, Brick, everything okay?
Brick: [sighs] Not really. You know how you guys were talking about high schoolers pulling pranks? I don't know. You made it sound so fun. And I thought, since I've never done one, that I would try my hand at a prank.
Frankie: Please tell me you didn't go streaking. The '80s were a very different time.
Brick: No, I had this great idea to change the Dewey Decimal System in the library by switching the 500s with the 900s. People would go up to a shelf expecting books on botany, but instead they'd get ancient civilizations. Everyone would be like, "What? What crazy man did this?"
Mike: You'd be the first to do it.
Brick: I know! Right? I had this whole elaborate plan, like Ocean's Eleven. I was gonna push the cart, Troy was the muscle, Cindy was the femme fatale. But they just weren't into it. So, guess I'll graduate high school without an epic story. Maybe that's my story -- no story. [sighs]

Quote from Mike
Brick: Check out this story from the Orson Herald from 1954. "Local woman finds hat in tree."
Mike: Local man on couch wants peace and quiet.
Brick: I'm telling you, Dad, this is a bottomless fountain of information. Ooh, here's one from August 1932. "Have you seen this dog?" I wonder if they found it.
Mike: That dog is dead. Everyone who cared about that dog is dead. The new dog they bought to get over the pain of losing that dog is dead.
Brick: You're a mean, mean man.
Mike: Eh.
Quote from Sean Donahue
Sean: I seem to recall somebody wanting to go to the Chancellor's Ball.
Sue: Wait, who told you? How did you know about that?
Sean: You did. Back when I was over here helping you with your desk, you were saying you weren't sure if you were gonna go 'cause you didn't have a date. And I was walking on my campus yesterday and it was really warm and pretty out and I remembered this word you made up when we were young to describe days like that where it suddenly is warm again.
Sue: Springalicious?
Sean: Springalicious. [chuckles] And it made me think of you and I was like, "Why am I thinking of Sue right now?" And then I remembered this was your weekend. So, Suzy Q, on this beautiful springalicious occasion, may I have the honor of escorting you to the Chancellor's Ball?
Sue: Oh, Sean. Don't you have a cellphone? You could call ahead first? I actually have a date.
Sean: Oh. [chuckles] Yeah, I didn't -- I didn't call because I thought the surprise would be nice. That was dumb. I just figured third time was the charm, you know. You're gonna owe me for tux rentals if I keep this up. But, hey, the important thing is that you're happy. I just wanted to make sure you had the chance to go.
Sue: Wait! Wait, wait, wait. Do you have to go already? Why don't you stay a while. We could get a pizza or hang out or something. I promise I won't make you put together any more furniture.
Sean: I- No, no. I- It's okay. I should get back to Orson, spend some time with my folks before going up to school, and, uh, yeah. Have fun at the ball, Suzy Q. You deserve it.
Quote from Ashley
Lexie: I'm sorry. I feel like I'm interrupting something.
Cassidy: No, we were just catching up.
Axl: Well, this could not get any weirder.
Ashley: Hi, Axl. A white wolf came to me in a dream and told me if I sacrificed my hair, you'd come back to me. [hands Axl a plastic baggy of human hair] You should probably make that into tea and drink it.
Axl: Oh.
