Brick Quote #122
Quote from Brick in Back to School
Frankie: What are you, your brother now? Why aren't you ready for school?
Brick: I'm taking a personal day. [whispers] Personal day.
Frankie: Come on. You love school. Get up.
Brick: Please don't make me go. I don't like my new teacher.
Frankie: Why not?
Brick: Everything was going great, but then, all of a sudden, she drags my desk to the front of the class. I like sitting in the back. I read my book, and I sip my juice box. I'm back by the sharpener. It's all good.
Frankie: Maybe Mrs. Rinsky's taken a special interest in you. Doesn't that make you feel well cared for and understood... and, you know, loved?
Brick: No. I feel like she's watching me all the time. And she won't let me whisper to myself. [whispers] Whisper to myself. I hate school.

Frankie: Ta-da!
Brick: Nah, I think I'll keep the new one. Thanks, though.
Frankie: You just said that you missed it. You said it was throwing you off.
Brick: I can't tell if it's you or the backpack, but something smells pretty rank. Besides, the other kids in my class seem to like this... Shaquille O'Neal character. Maybe it'll help me fit in more. [whispers] Shaquille O'Neal character.
Quote from Frankie
Mike: And Sue's middle name would be?
Frankie: You know her middle name. "Sue." Remember?
Mike: Oh.
Frankie: They wrote it down twice on her birth certificate by accident. We keep saying we're gonna go down and change it, and we never do.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Well, the new backpack and I are not getting along. At all.
Frankie: What happened?
[flashback to Brick walking around the classroom with his backpack on his head]
Frankie: Why was your backpack even on your head?
Brick: I was seeing if it had the same echo as my old one. It doesn't.
