Brick Quote #222
Quote from Brick in Forced Family Fun (Part 1)
Mike: Pretty great, huh? You get why- Oh, for the love of God, are you reading again? I thought we left the book back at the campsite. Brick, we're not here to read. We're here to spend time together and enjoy the lake.
Brick: Oh, you wanna know about the lake. It says the lake is 200 feet at its deepest point and fed by eight streams.
Mike: Really? What color is it?
Brick: Print's a little fuzzy. Maybe... Gray or... [Mike lifts up Brick's book] Oh. Actually, it's more blue.
Mike: Hmm.
Brick: And silvery. They should really take a better picture of that and put it in a book so people can enjoy it.
Mike: Brick, you just did enjoy it, and you know why? 'Cause you looked at it. You gotta look at the lake and the trees and the whole deal, or you're missing out.
Brick: Yeah. I think I'm just more of a book person.

Quote from Axl
Frankie: You forgot shoes? How does a person forget shoes?
Axl: How does a person forget a snack bag? I guess the shoes I'm not wearing are now on the other foot.
Mike: Well, we can't stop to get you any, genius. We're in the middle of nowhere.
Axl: Relax! I don't need 'em. I've been barefoot all summer. My feet are practically shoes now anyway. Check out these leathery dogs. [all groan in disgust]
Mike: Axl! Come on.
Axl: Oh, my God! You can't handle this, what are you taking us camping for? I mean, it'll be like going on vacation on the bottom of my foot.
Quote from Brick
Mike: Look, Brick, you know all the people that wrote these books you read?
Brick: Authors.
Mike: Yeah, I know what they're called, Brick. Point is, they had to actually do something to have something to write about, to... to experience stuff around 'em. Nobody wrote a book about reading a book.
Brick: Actually, they did. The Neverending Story, which was first published in German under the title Die Unendliche Geschichte. [whispers] Geschichte.
Quote from Axl
Sue: Axl, we need to talk about the cafeteria. In high school, do we call it the "caf"? Because when Hannah Montana went to high school, they called it the "caf."
Axl: Sue, keep talking, but just remember, if I threw you out of the car right now, I'd be tried as a juvenile.
Sue: Is there one lunch period that's cooler than the other?
Axl: Whatever one you're not in.
Sue: Which one are you in?
Axl: Aah! Why are you asking me that?! Why is she asking me that?!
Sue: Because we're going to the same school, and I might need to go up to your table at lunch and ask you something!
Axl: Okay! [blows whistle] That's it! If you are insisting on going to school with me, we are setting some ground rules right now! No looking at me, no talking to me, no acknowledging me in any way. If an emergency happens, like Mom or Dad dies... or something, you can relay the message to Sean, and he will let me know, and I will see you at the funeral. Have I made myself clear?
Sue: But what if I... [Axl blows whistle] Or if I... [Axl blows whistle continuously] But what if there's an emergency and someone puts a bomb in my backpack and I might need...
