Brick Quote #148
Quote from Brick in A Birthday Story
Brick: After careful consideration, I've come to realize something. I have the coolest birthday story ever. [Frankie sighs] Axl and Sue only get one day. I have a whole month.
Frankie: You know, Brick, what I didn't get to tell you the other day was that the moment I held you in my arms. The second time. I knew you were mine. Aw. Blake Ferguson's got nothing on you. Even his name: Blake. It's boring.
Mike: It's no Brick, I'll tell ya that.
Brick: Hey, everyone makes mistakes, even me. Remember that mysteriously broken lamp you grounded Axl for? I walked into it while reading. I was also the one who put the plastic bag In the garbage disposal. It wasn't an accident. I just wanted to see what would happen. But I know you'll forgive me, as I forgive you.
Frankie: Ah.
Brick: Oh, and, um... Here's a list of additional birthday gifts I'd like. The pony doesn't have to be black. Just not white. The white ones are impossible to keep clean.
Frankie: There's over 50 things on here.
Brick: You don't have to get 'em all now. You can take a month... Give or take a day.

Quote from Brick
Frankie: [v.o.] Iis there anything better than a surprise party? The only hard part is keeping the secret. But when you pull it off, it's something no one ever forgets. Yep, everyone loves a surprise party.
Brick: I invited my whole class to my birthday on Saturday.
Frankie: [v.o.] Surprise.
Frankie: Saturday? You're just telling me about this now? Oh, Brick. I don't have time to throw a party for 20 kids in 3 days.
Brick: Here's a list of everyone's food allergies and dietary restrictions. We all voted on a peanut butter cake, except for two kids who will die if they go anywhere near it. I'll let you hash that out.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Okay, Brick, here's the thing. You invited 25 kids to the party, but everything comes in packs of 24. We're not gonna buy a whole extra set just for one kid, so you're gonna have to uninvite someone.
Brick: I can't.
Frankie: Come on. There's always one kid nobody wants at the party.
Brick: That's me, Mom.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: I already told you what I want. I just want to hear about the day I was born. [Sue squeals]
Frankie: [v.o.] Brick was starting to realize that every time he asked to hear about the day he was born, he never really got the full story.
[flashbacks:]
Frankie: It was a rainy day, and I was at the grocery story, when... Uh-oh. Doorbell.
Mike: It was a snowy day, and your mom was helping me shovel... Was that the doorbell?
Axl: It was a really hot day, so I was getting Mom a popsicle, and, uh... Oh, dude, doorbell.
[present:]
Brick: Why is it every time I ask about the day I was born, no one ever answers me? I've heard a million times how Sue was born on a leap day, so technically she's still only 3 years old, and Axl came out with a pointy head, but no one ever talks about my story. It's almost like you don't want to tell me.
Frankie: Of course I want to tell you. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Mike, I'll need to see you in the dining room.
[Frankie and Mike frantically confer in the dining room before returning to Brick]
Mike: How would you like a brand-new bike?
