Brick Quote #437
Dr. Fulton: A-all right, Brick. I give up. If the Tribe of Truth doesn't work, I don't know what will. I've done everything a professional therapist can do to justify his job. I just don't get it. Why don't you want to go to middle school?
Brick: Oh. Was that what this was all about? Well, at the middle school, the handles on the water fountains are on the right, and I'm used to having them be on the left like they are here. It's kind of a big change, and I don't think I'm ready for it.
Dr. Fulton: That's what you're worried about? Water fountains? Brick, half the water fountains at the middle school don't even work. The place is a dump. I mean, if you're gonna worry about anything, it should be the asbestos.
Brick: What?
Dr. Fulton: Nothing-- no. No, no, no. It's fine. It's nothing worry about. It- You know, it's a silent killer.

‘The Ditch’ Quotes
Quote from Sue
Frankie: [v.o.] Sue's ditch day wasn't exactly fun yet. But she knew as soon as she intercepted the call from the attendance office, she could really start living. Provided she stayed low to the ground and out of sight.
Sue: [answers phone] Hello?
Woman: This is the Orson High attendance office. May I speak to Frankie Heck, please?
Sue: [British accent] Yes, this is she! [whispers] Why am I British?
Woman: I'm just verifying that Sue Heck is home sick today.
Sue: [British accent] Oh, yes. She is quite sick. Sick as the Dickens, I'm afraid.
Woman: Well, please make sure she brings a note with a parent signature.
Sue: [British accent] A note?
Woman: Yes. It's a requirement anytime a student has been absent.
Sue: [British accent] Very well. A note. I'll add it to my shed-ule. Cheerio!
Quote from Axl
Axl: You know, I've never really looked at your room before. When you feel your nerd powers being drained, do you come in here to recharge?
Sue: [scoffs] Get out of here, Axl.
Axl: Oh, I'm going. [clears throat] And you know why? Because a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Sue: Hilarious. Maybe I'll take a journey to the kitchen and tell mom you were in my room!
Axl: Jeez, hang in there, baby. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Sue: Would you just get out?! I don't go into your room and stare at your booger wall.
Axl: Hey! Some of those aren't mine.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Brick, what are you doing in there? Get what you want and shut the door.
Brick: But I've got my middle school placement test tomorrow. Mr. Walker said everyone has to bring a healthy snack.
Frankie: Well... [sighs] yeah. Here you go. Jelly. Jelly's a fruit. Can't get much healthier than that.
Brick: We're out of bread.
Frankie: Even better. You eat it with a spoon, and the vitamins get to your brain faster.
Brick: [sighs] Fine.
