Brick Quote #947
Quote from Brick in Halloween VIII: Orson Murder Mystery
Frankie: Brick, write this name down... "Detective Philip Strickland." Ooh! They questioned the husband again. Okay, I'm tellin' ya, Mike. I think it's murder, and I think maybe the husband did it. It's always the husband.
Mike: Gee, I wonder why.
Frankie: Listen, I know it sounds crazy, but read the article for yourself. And who knows? Maybe if we solve this mystery, Claudia's soul will finally rest in peace, the curse will be lifted from our house, and my bruise will go away. Now, Henry said she drowned in the tub after church, while he was golfing.
Brick: And I'm no fan of sport, but isn't March a little early for golfing?
Mike: Uh, if you guys had kept reading, there's an article from a week later that says the death was ruled "accidental drowning due to cardiac arrest." No foul play. Case closed.
Brick: [sighs] Shoot. I was gonna impress Cindy by solving a murder. Guess I'll have to continue my old plan of calling and hanging up when she answers.

Quote from Brick
Brick: "She is survived by her husband, Henry, and sister, Sylvia Hammond. The county coroner will conduct a full autopsy and..." Oh, my God!
Frankie: What? What?!
Brick: They put an apostrophe "S" in "paramedics." That's not possessive, that's plural! Who was proofing the Herald back then?
Frankie: You know what, Mike? I don't know what upsets me more... a dead body in my bathtub or you not telling me about it.
Brick: Or the apostrophe!
Quote from Sue

Axl: Or... peanut better and jelly.
Sue: And bananas.
Axl: Or maybe like a couple's thing, you know, like a Romeo and Juliet.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: I was finally filing the last of the soggy papers from the flood, and I found the old deed to our house.
So I'm flipping through the disclosure statements. Listen. "Cracked foundation," which we knew, "dangerous wiring," which we knew. And then this. "Disclosure number three... Death occurred on the premises." Oh, my God! Can you believe this?! How did we not know about this? Someone died in our house.
Mike: I knew.
Frankie: What do you mean, you knew?
Mike: The realtor told me. I didn't tell you 'cause I knew you'd freak out.
Frankie: Yeah, I'd freak out! Someone died in our house! I can't believe you hid this from me. Did you ever think that maybe that's why all these creepy things keep happening around here? Candles blowing out, cabinets that don't close, my bruise that never goes away!
Mike: I thought that was gone.
Frankie: Oh, it's back. Feast your eyes.
