Brick Quote #958
Quote from Brick in Role of a Lifetime
Axl: Jello, everybody! I thought you might be hungry, so I chatted up a nurse. I told her it was Brick's birthday and his favorite food is lime green jello. What can I say? She liked my smile.
Frankie: So how's my cactus doing?
Brick: Eh, I'm a little tired. Seeking attention is exhausting. Axl makes it look so easy.
Frankie: I'm sorry we didn't know about orchestra, Brick.
Brick: Oh, that's okay. I'm quitting anyway. It turns out, when you join the group late in the semester, everyone's already paired off.
Axl: Even nerds need love. It's kind of sad, but in a way, kind of beautiful.
Brick: Hmm. I'm starting to think when I decided to play the field, I may have overestimated the field. Breaking up with Cindy might've been a huge mistake.
Mike: We all said that, Brick. We all said that.

Quote from Brick
Brick: You're not gonna believe this. Today, in the hall between third and fourth period, I saw Cindy... hatless. Hatless! That's not a tic. I'm just repeating it for emphasis. [whispers] Emphasis. Damn it.
Quote from Brick
Brick: You think my role in the family is being nothing? Well... you are correct.
Frankie: Wait, what?
Brick: That's right. I demand nothing. I'm the cactus that grows without the water of attention. I didn't need braces, I have no after-school activities that require your attendance, I don't burden you with worrying about me staying out too late with "friends."
Mike: He's got a point there.
Brick: My role as the unnoticed is perhaps the most important one in the family. Because I ask for nothing, you guys don't have to do anything. You don't have to thank me. I just appreciate you hearing me out.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: Hey, while we're airing dirty laundry, which I'm wearing, by the way, I've worn the same outfit for three weeks.
Frankie: Hey, buzz, buzz! You think you have it bad? I have to be the beacon of hope for this family. I have to make sure everyone's emotional needs are met. And, by the way, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't even have a family to have a family meeting about, 'cause I pushed every single one of you out of my body! [all groan] That's right. I gave you life!
Axl: Yeah, you gave us this life! Not exactly something to brag about. [overlapping bickering]
