Brick Quote #214
Quote from Brick in Back to Summer
Frankie: Wow, Brick. Can you believe it? Only a couple more days till you're a fourth grader.
Brick: Yeah, I'm not sure that's gonna happen.
Frankie: What?
Brick: Apparently, I missed some sort of journal assignment, and if I don't turn it in, I'm not necessarily moving up to fourth grade.
Frankie: Damn it, Brick! How does this keep happening? You're the smartest kid I know, and every year we got to wonder whether you're gonna make it to the next grade!
Brick: I know it's frustrating. I kept thinking I was gonna do it, but then I just didn't. I blame myself partly.
Frankie: I blame yourself all-of-ly. Now you're gonna go, and you're gonna find out what's required, and you're gonna get it done. We are not spending another year with Ms. Rinsky!

Quote from Sue
Sue: Not so fast. Summer's not officially on till my graduation on Friday, when you watch me accept my special award, presented by the principal in front of everyone. [screams]
Frankie: Oh, honey. Well, you certainly earned it.
Frankie: [v.o.] Boy, did she earn it. Sue'd set her sights on the perfect attendance award years ago, and nothing was gonna make her miss a day of school.
[flashback to a red-nosed Sue sitting at her desk with bottles of cold medicine:]
Frankie: Here.
[flashback to Sue rushing to her locker to vomit]
[flashback to Sue sneezing as she climbs rope in gym class, causing her to crash to the floor]
Sue: I did it. I put myself and countless others at risk, but it was worth it!
Mike: We're very proud.
Quote from Axl
Axl: I hope you know you have sent me to the dumbest school in the world!
Mike: Seemed like a good fit.
Axl: So I didn't do my community service. You know, like, helping poor people or whatever. And if I don't get my 30 hours done by Friday, they're saying I'll flunk civics, and we'll have to pay for some stupid class I have to take in the summer!
Mike: And you're just telling us now? Why didn't you do the assignment?
Axl: Because... It shouldn't be an assignment! They're forcing me to help people against my will! I don't know. Doesn't that seem like communism or something? Did I use that right?
Mike: As much as I'd love to join in on your war on community service, you're doing it.
Axl: Ugh!
