Brick Quote #294
Quote from Brick in The Sit Down
Brick: Now Curley's organizing a mob, and they're going after him.
Axl: She's the weirdest girl in school and probably a witch, and now I'm going to prom with her, two years in a row. I might as well just marry her and get it over with, 'cause it's not like I've got a choice in the matter.
Brick: He and George are hiding by a pond. Lennie's flipping out, but George is telling him about the rabbits. He says they're going to live on a farm and raise the rabbits. Lennie's hugging him.
Sue: Aw.
Brick: Curley and the boys are getting closer. George is pulling out a gun.
Axl: Whoa, he's gonna fight off the bad guys?
Brick: He just shot Lennie in the back of the head!
Sue: What?!
Brick: No way. This shouldn't be called, Of Mice And Men. It should be called, Of Men Killing Other Men!

‘The Sit Down’ Quotes
Quote from Mike
Sue: Okay, the three of us have been talking, and we're really not feeling very good about the way things have been going around here lately.
Brick: It seems like there's been a lot of strife and stress and unnecessary discord.
Axl: And that's why we wanted to sit you down and have a word with you, 'cause seriously... You guys are out of control.
Frankie: Wait.
Mike: What? "Sit us down"? You're sitting us down? Nobody sits me down.
Frankie: Okay, wait, wait. What's happening here?
Sue: I told you they'd freak out.
Brick: This doesn't need to be confrontational. Please, please... Sit back down.
Mike: Fine. I will sit down. Because my knee is bothering me, not 'cause they asked me to.
Quote from Mike
Frankie: What the hell just happened out there?
Mike: I don't know. I'd like to get a beer, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed out of my room.
Frankie: They've got a lot of nerve, talking to me like that. You know, it wouldn't have killed you to jump in and defend me.
Mike: They had notes. I was confused.
Frankie: Did our kids just sit us down? I can't believe they sat us down.
Mike: They did not sit me down. I sat down 'cause of my knee.
Frankie: I mean, come on. I'm a nag, and you punish them too much? What is that?
Mike: I don't recall asking for their opinion. This is my house. There's only one opinion that matters... Mine. And yours.
Quote from Frankie
Sue: Mom, it just seems like you're nagging us all the time lately.
Frankie: Oh. I see. That's how it seems?
Axl: Yeah, it's like you tell us what to do before we even have a chance to do it ourselves.
Frankie: Oh, really? Is that what it's like?
Sue: [sighs] She's shutting down, Axl. I told you she'd shut down.
Frankie: I'm not shutting down. I am listening openly to your terrific tips for parenting you're sending my way. You really think I like nagging you?
Axl: I think you do.
Brick: I think it gives you a weird rush.
Axl: It's true. You live to nag. You're a nag-oholic.
Frankie: Well, you're a don't-do what-you're-supposed-to-oholic. I think if you did a survey of other moms, you would find that in the world of nag, I'm not that bad.
