Axl Quote #1113
Quote from Axl in Clear and Present Danger
Axl: [groans] I don't want to talk about it, Brick. We're never mentioning this ever again. No one needs to know I only moved the 'Bago two feet.
Brick: You didn't move it at all.
Axl: You're mean. This isn't fair. Used to be, I was feeling weak, I'd just do a couple of push-ups and get my strength right back, but, my God, what is happening to me? You think it was all those Froot Loop sandwiches? Oh, God. [groans] Froot Loop sandwiches. Don't look at my big butt.
Brick: Axl, get a hold of yourself. I got rescued by my girlfriend, and even I'm embarrassed for you.
Axl: Look, I'm about to graduate. Pretty soon, I'm gonna be sitting at a desk all day doing whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing, and I'm just gonna decay. I am one step closer to becoming Mom and Dad.

Quote from Axl
Axl: Look, Brick, you don't need a book. You got me as your trainer.
Brick: No offense, Axl, but things weren't really going that well in the garage. It's been two days, and I think I might have actually lost muscle mass.
Axl: That's just all part of the workout program I've created specifically for your body. Right now you're like a lump of clay, but you give me some time, I'm gonna mold you into a work of fine art. It's like the statue of David. You think Michael and Angelo sculpted that thing overnight? No. Took those guys years.
Brick: Yeah... I just don't think someone who's on the decline physically should be teaching me.
Axl: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Decline? [laughs] Decli... Wha...? Who said I'm declining? I'm not declining.
Brick: Look, it's perfectly natural. In my research, I found that men hit their physical peak at age 25, then slowly decline. You're just a little ahead of schedule. From here on out, you're pretty much just gonna atrophy.
Axl: Got enough trophies, Brick. And, yeah, maybe I let myself go a little bit, but I just got to do a few push-ups, I'll be back in shape like that. [snaps fingers] Ow, cramp.
Quote from Brick
Brick: I remember the time Dad took me to play tennis. He got mad 'cause I brought my books, which the veins in his neck start popping out, but...
Sue: Cut. Brick, these are supposed to be nice memories.
Brick: Uh, that is a nice memory. Dad and I don't do a lot together.
Sue: Okay, well, it doesn't sound so nice. Now I want heartfelt, so step it up. Okay, make me feel something. And... action.
Brick: Here's a fond memory with Dad... the time he tried to teach me how to drive. The veins were really popping out of his neck then.
Sue: Brick, stop talking about veins.
Quote from Brick
Brick: What are you doing?
Axl: Nothing, nothing. Just admiring the view. How are those workouts coming?
Brick: Well, I know I need to get in shape, so I did the only thing that made sense to me. I went to the library and checked out a book. Jack Lalanne's Live Young Forever.
Axl: Oh, okay. What's he doing now?
Brick: He's dead. But before that, he was really cool. He could lift all these heavy things. He once pulled 70 boats. My goal is 15. That should be enough to impress Cindy.
