Sue Quote #556
Quote from Sue in The Loneliest Locker
Sue: Guess what.
Mike: Sue, we do a lot of guessing in this house. Why don't you just tell us?
Sue: I was chosen to write the senior play! Ha ha!
Frankie: Oh.
Sue: Well, actually, Brad was chosen, and then he tapped me, but it's a huge deal. I mean, like, parents come, it's at nighttime, there's beverages.
Frankie: Sue, that's great.
Mike: Your mom will go.
Sue: And Brad and I decided we do not just want to do the usual follies, you know, like where football players dress up like girls and everyone loves it. No, no, no, no, no. We want to tackle the real issues teens are dealing with, the ones that are living in the shadows, like, uh, low self-esteem or bulimia. I don't know. We're still working it out. But with my new A.C.T. scores and this groundbreaking play on my résumé, there is no limit to where I can go to college. Maybe even international. Like [British accent] Oxford or [French accent] The Sorbonne. [chuckles] [giggles]

Quote from Brick
Brick: I can't believe you did this. I could have been a professional basketball man. You're always on me 'cause my nose is buried in a book, but turns out, it's all your fault. All because you didn't want your son to play with his toys. Sad.
Frankie: Look, you played with plenty of toys. Those were just the loud, annoying, obnoxious ones I couldn't stand to hear anymore after the first 500 beep-beeps, ding-dings, and woo-woo-woos.
Brick: Well, seeing how these were ripped from me at such a young age, I'm now going to make up for a lot of lost time. Come on, old friends. [toy siren wails]
Automated Voice: Konnichiwa.
Mike: Ah, crap, he found the noisy toys.
Quote from Frankie
Brick: Hello, Mother. Look what I found in the basement. Remember this? [toy siren wails] [Frankie chuckles nervously] You said these disappeared.
Frankie: Well, they did...
Frankie: [v.o.] With a little help from me.
[flashback to Frankie taking young Brick's guitar away from him as he slept]
[flashback to young Brick playing with his speaking caterpillar:]
Automated Voice: "A." "A." "A."
[as young Brick turns to take a sip of his juice box, Frankie grabs the toy]
[flashback to Brick playing with a basketball toy:]
Automated Voice: Nothing but net. Nothing but net.
Frankie: Hey, you know what's fun? Reading.
