Sue Quote #819
Quote from Sue in The Show Must Go On
Sue: [sweetly] Hey, Brick. Mm! So, I can't believe you're graduating, huh? Big day. Big day. Of course, not as big as your high-school graduation, which I will definitely be there for. You know, Brick, I have always felt like you and I have had a special connection.
Brick: Really?
Sue: Definitely. I feel like we're super-close. It seems like just yesterday you were my little baby brother. Mm.
[montage of Sue and Brick moments to upbeat music]
Frankie: [interrupts] No, no, no. Nice try, but I already told you you're not missing your brother's graduation.
Sue: But if I miss my first day, they could fire me! Okay, you know what seems the most fair is if we let Brick decide. Brick?
Brick: I sat through three showings of The Loneliest Locker. I want you there.

Quote from Frankie
Principal Carson: Is there a problem out here?
Frankie: I'm sorry, but I can no longer keep silent. You can't do this. Every year, the kids can just perform. Now all of a sudden, there's secret drawings and fuzzy math and interrogations without a parent present. It's ridiculous.
Principal Carson: Look, I understand you're upset, and I know every parent cares about their kid.
Frankie: Oh, that's where you're wrong! I don't! I forget to pack their lunches. I put stars on calendars and can't remember what they're for. I'm not a helicopter parent. I'm a couch! I'm a self-driving couch that just watches TV. So I think that when a parent who has a history of sucking as much as I do takes the time to show up, you better stand up and take notice! I am cramming 10 years of not caring into this one fight. My kid is gonna sing at that ceremony, or I will burn this place to the ground!
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [bell dinging rapidly] I need to speak to the principal, so you better get him or her out here right now. [dinging continues]
Quote from Sue
Sue: [Southern accent] If y'all would just step right this way, Aunt Granny would be durned pleased [British accent] to show you to your eatin' spot. [normal voice] How was that? I feel like sometimes my southern slips into British.
Axl: Didn't notice. I don't hear your voice. Spent my whole life training myself to block it out.
Sue: Okay, well, I got to lock this thing down before I leave for Dollywood on Sunday. Here, let me try one more.
Frankie: Do you have to go for the whole summer? Don't leave me with all these boys. I'm gonna miss you.
Sue: Mm. [British accent] I'll miss you, too, Mum. [normal voice] Seriously?
