Axl Quote #851
Brick: [answers phone] Hi, Axl.
Axl: Okay, I know what's going on here. We just studied this. It's classic identity disorder. Dad's mind has him convinced he's someone else in order to cope with his sucky life.
Sue: [on cellphone] Axl, can you hear me? Do you believe it? Dad's actually wearing the Hawaiian shirt we got him!
Axl: I know, but why? Does he know he's wearing it? Was he asleep, and they just put it on him?
Sue: I don't know.
Brick: Oh, and guess what. He's going outside in it.
Sue: Oh, my God.

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: All I asked was for you to clean the bathroom! How hard is that?
Brick: Well, if you want to do it properly, you have to get to the root of the problem.
Frankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brick. We are not "root of the problem" people. The surface is where we live. You start chipping away and digging down to the root of everything, the whole place falls apart. The filth and grime is what's holding everything together. You want to see a video of how we fix things? We wipe, we slide, we shove, we close. If a drawer is too full to open, move on to the next one. Never open it again.
Quote from Mike
Brick: I'm beginning to think you only had children because you wanted slaves.
Mike: No, we had them 'cause of beer.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Really, Brick?
Brick: I'm on it. All I need is a can of high-quality thin-set and a ceramic saw. Randy Poteat on Youtube says, "Y'all got to do it right the first time, or y'all be back at it in 10 years." [whispers] Randy Poteat.
