Axl Quote #413
Cassidy: So your score of 0 out of 20 on the quiz makes it pretty clear that you read nothing about the Bay Of Pigs invasion.
Axl: Well, in my defense, I was totally sitting down to read this, when the guys called me and invited me to the lake. [laughs] Everyone was there. And PS, awesomeness ensued. Why didn't you go?
Cassidy: See, this is why I hate high school. All everyone does is go to lame parties. And for your information, I had to study. And so should you. You have a test tomorrow.
Axl: No. The teacher said yesterday it was the day after tomorrow.
Cassidy: Wow. God does not give with both hands.
Axl: And that means what?
Cassidy: It means attractive people are usually not that bright.
Axl: You think I'm attractive?
Cassidy: I didn't mean it that way. Okay, um, so where was I? The Bay Of Pigs. Right. It's important 'cause, um, it was a crucial moment in history. I mean, those three days were fraught with confusion and tension. JFK had only been in office a couple of months. He barely knew what he was doing, and yet he knew he had to take bold action. He deployed-
Axl: [leans across the table and kisses Cassidy] How you like high school now? [clicks tongue]
Cassidy: Seriously? Oh, my God. I have to go.
Axl: What? Oh... you were vibing me all these signals, and you were saying how you never go to parties, and you were talking about tension and deployment and stuff. What was I supposed to do?

Quote from Axl
Axl: Ugh! It's 10:00 and I still have 26 more pages! Mom, you gotta help me study. Here... It's the constitutional amendments. Just so you know, those are Roman numerals. Turns out they're not just for Super Bowls.
Quote from Brick
[Brick holds a stethoscope to the safe as he turns the dial]
Sue: What are you doing?
Brick: Shh! I saw this on Safe Crackers.
Sue: Did it work?
Brick: I don't know. After five minutes, I switched over to Whale Wars. But I do feel fairly confident that I can commandeer a Japanese harpoon ship.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Let me explain. This wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, but my son and I were taking drugs together...
Sandy Armwood: [sighs] Frankie... Isn't it time? Isn't it time you accept the fact that you don't have what it takes to make it in the high-pressure world of dental assisting? Why don't you do yourself a favor? Why don't you walk out that door and find something more your speed, like... running a hair extension kiosk at the mall?
Frankie: You think I'm just gonna walk out of here? That I'm just gonna quit because you told me to? Well, let me tell you something about myself I... am a quitter. A lifelong quitter. Girl Scouts? Quit. Piano lessons when they started with two hands? Quit. Working out at Curves? Quit in the middle of signing up for the membership. Every volunteer thing at my kids' school, quit, quit, quit. Oh, and I only got through 20 Shades of Grey. So if I quit-- and yeah, I might if it gets too hard I'm gonna do it on my terms. It might be tomorrow. It might be next week. It might be the week after! But definitely not today.
Sandy Armwood: Okay.
