Brick Quote #72
Judge: The next word is "chiaroscurist."
Sue: Oh, my God.
Mike: No, he knows this one.
Frankie: What?
Mike: He studied this one. He knows it. Yeah. He knows it. He knows it.
Frankie: [v.o.] And in that moment, it all melted away... All the stress and the sore backs and the complaining and the fighting. We were there for one reason and one reason alone: to cheer our littlest member to his hard-won victory. Our victory.
Brick: "Chiaroscurist." C-H-I-A-R-O-S-C-U-R-I-S-T. [whispers] T. [bell rings]
Judge: Oh, I'm sorry. There's only one T.
Frankie: No, no, no.
Mike: He knows there's only one T. It's just that he has quirks.
Frankie: He studied that word.
[As Frankie, Mike, Sue and Axl bicker with the judges, Brick knocks over the microphone and storms off stage]

Quote from Axl
Axl: I had the lowest of expectations, and I'm still disappointed.
Quote from Mr. Ehlert
Frankie: [v.o.] Americans have had a long love affair with their cars. Road trips, tailgating, family vacations... But these days, not so much.
Mr. Ehlert: America is treating its cars like an old wife it's sick of sleeping with because maybe she's gained a little weight or stopped taking care of herself. No offense, Frances.
Frankie: None taken?
Mr. Ehlert: America's bored with their cars, and we need a little PR to fix that. Everybody give a big hand to our new customer-relations supervisor, Frances Heck.
Frankie: Oh. [applause]
Mr. Ehlert: From now on, Frances, you're responsible for writing birthday cards to all the cars we've sold over the last 10 years.
Frankie: I'm writing birthday cards to cars?
Mr. Ehlert: You have until next week to do 5,000. Congratulations on your promotion.
Quote from Axl
Sue: I'm gonna get postcards from every fun thing we do for my birthday weekend, and Mom's gonna help me make a scrapbook.
Axl: Awesome. I'm gonna take pictures of every lame thing we do on this lame weekend, and then Mom can look to them for clues as to why I ran away.
