Brick Quote #976
Quote from Brick in Eyes Wide Open
Frankie: So, Lilah, how was your first day?
Lilah: Pretty good. I like my classes, and my teachers seem chill. Brick kept me busy, so I didn't really get a chance to talk to any other people. And he also said there's no clubs or activities at school. That seems weird.
Brick: Yeah. You need to be careful of any signs going up, 'cause they're frequently shills for cults.
Mike: Sounds like everything's going according to script.
Lilah: The only bad thing was, I got these anonymous notes in my locker... Uh, like, one in the morning, and then I got one after school... That were kinda threatening.
Frankie: What? You're kidding?
Lilah: Yeah, one of them said, "Keep your filthy ears to yourself." And then the other one said, uh, "Stay away from the little guy if you value your shins." [spoon clatters]
Brick: Okay, well, everything's pretty much where you think it is at school. You'll find it. [escorts Lilah out]

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Oh, is it hard? Is it too hard? I do it every day. And... silverware up, sharp knives down.
Axl: No. Oh! Daddy! Help me! She's a crazy person!
Mike: What's going on?
Frankie: He's 23 years old and living in our house... He should know how to load the dishwasher.
Mike: What do you mean? He's been loading the dishwasher for years.
Frankie: Yeah, and never correctly. He just throws everything in here like a big mess. That's why we have chipped bowls, our Tupperware is melted. The Spider-Man and Flintstone glasses rubbed against each other, so now we have no nice glasses for company. As long as he is living in this house, he's gonna learn to do things right. Don't you help him.
Axl: Ugh! [dishes clatter] My brain hurts. I need a break.
Frankie: Oh, fine. You can't take it, go cool off. And pick up your socks! For every stinky sock I find lying around there, I'm gonna leave a bra.
Quote from Axl
Man: So, the pay is bad, but I get my summers off.
Axl: Hmm.
Man: And what do you do?
Axl: Well, I kind of just retired.
Man: Really?
Axl: Yeah... From Olympic diving. Trained with Greg Louganis, maybe you've heard of him? Probably the greatest diver in history. I mean, I'm not that good... I'm ranked, like, eighth in the world. But I didn't win any medals or anything, so don't look it up.
Man: Wow. Uh, what's Rio like?
Axl: Great movie. Hilarious. Why?
Man: 'Cause that's where the Olympics were.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: What did you just do?
Brick: You heard her... Those threats were from Cindy! Those threats were from the lady I love! She clearly wants me back!
Frankie: No, no, no, no, no. We put too much work into getting this fish in the boat. Besides, Lilah is lovely and smart and normal and she seems to really like you.
Mike: And she eats cereal. We don't have to buy her shrimp.
Brick: But she's so much work. And with Cindy, things just come so naturally. You know Cindy... She's one in a million.
Mike: I'd go higher.
Brick: I blew it and broke up with her and thought I lost her forever, but now I have hope. I'm walking on air!
