Brick Quote #953
Quote from Brick in Role of a Lifetime
Frankie: [v.o.] You know that expression, "Where there's a will, there's a way"? Well, Brick may have had the will to play the field, but he didn't necessarily have the way.
Brick: Hi, there. Brick Heck. I'm currently available for a relationship. Here's my résumé. Take one, pass it down. Peruse at your leisure. I'm a sophomore. That's right, a sophomore. I'm looking forward to the appropriate encounter.
[later, Brick approaches a girl as she sits by her locker:]
Brick: Hello. You seem alone and friendless.
[later, Brick stands outside the women's room:]
Brick: Hi, I noticed you were in there a while. Did you get your period in class, and you weren't prepared? I'm a good listener.

Quote from Brick
Brick: You're not gonna believe this. Today, in the hall between third and fourth period, I saw Cindy... hatless. Hatless! That's not a tic. I'm just repeating it for emphasis. [whispers] Emphasis. Damn it.
Quote from Brick
Brick: You think my role in the family is being nothing? Well... you are correct.
Frankie: Wait, what?
Brick: That's right. I demand nothing. I'm the cactus that grows without the water of attention. I didn't need braces, I have no after-school activities that require your attendance, I don't burden you with worrying about me staying out too late with "friends."
Mike: He's got a point there.
Brick: My role as the unnoticed is perhaps the most important one in the family. Because I ask for nothing, you guys don't have to do anything. You don't have to thank me. I just appreciate you hearing me out.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: Hey, while we're airing dirty laundry, which I'm wearing, by the way, I've worn the same outfit for three weeks.
Frankie: Hey, buzz, buzz! You think you have it bad? I have to be the beacon of hope for this family. I have to make sure everyone's emotional needs are met. And, by the way, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't even have a family to have a family meeting about, 'cause I pushed every single one of you out of my body! [all groan] That's right. I gave you life!
Axl: Yeah, you gave us this life! Not exactly something to brag about. [overlapping bickering]
