Axl Quote #924
Quote from Axl in Film, Friends and Fruit Pies
Axl: Oh, hey, Jack. Langdon from the art department sent down some new sketches for the fruit pie on-the-go packaging. Am I crazy, or do all the drawings of fruit pies look like him? So, where'd we leave off yesterday?
Jack Kershaw: I'm screwed, Heck.
Axl: What? No, come on. You're only down by two. You make a shot on one foot, you're up by five.
Jack Kershaw: No, I'm screwed. We all are.
Axl: But... I thought things were going great. You had that meeting yesterday where you said, "Things are going great."
Jack Kershaw: Oh, it's all a show, Heck. I can't tell the people out there the truth. They have mortgages and car payments. They don't need to know that our profits are in the crapper. But I know. I know, Heck. And now... so do you.

Quote from Mike
Mike: Sue, you got to come clean. You're too young to be in debt. It's different for us. We have a long-range financial plan where we die before we have to pay anybody off. But you don't have that cushion.
Quote from Sue
Mike: Hang on a sec. Where's all this money coming from?
Sue: Well, I've been using my Spudsy's money, and I popped all the quarters out of my 50 states collector's book, and I've been donating plasma. I'm not exactly sure what plasma is, and I don't know if you need it, but, from the way I've been feeling, I'm guessing you do.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Can you sign this form saying you take full responsibility for the school camera, editing equipment, the sound equipment, and lighting packet while it's in my possession?
Frankie: No, we will not.
Brick: Well, then I'll have to do that signature Axl taught me, 'cause I really need it for this project I'm doing for film class. Oh, heads up... I'm working on a shoestring budget, so I'm gonna be shooting it entirely in the house.
Mike: A horror movie, is it?
Brick: Well, the assignment is to take an important piece of film history and interpret it as our own. I'm thinking either Battleship Potemkin or Knots Landing. I love Knots Landing. I binge-watched all 14 seasons when we inherited that box of Aunt Edie's old tapes. Now, I know what you're thinking... Sure, Battleship Potemkin was named the greatest film of all time, but Knots Landing just has the undefinable "it." Plus it's one of the few true historical records we have of the 1980s.
Frankie: The '80s weren't that long ago, Brick.
Mike: It was 30-some years ago.
Frankie: Holy crap.
Brick: Well, I better get on it. I'll be in Sue's room, scouting locations. Also, I'm still on the fence, but the episode I'm looking at may require a small car explosion.
