Sue Quote #628
Quote from Sue in The Answer
Sue: [sighs] I mean, mom, you should've seen him. He got down on one knee, and he looked up at me, and he did the thing where his eyebrows go up when he's hopeful. And then he said [deep voice] "will you marry me?"
Frankie: Aw.
Sue: And it was so cute, and he was so happy, and now I have to tell him I don't want to, and I don't even know how you say that.
Mike: I got a couple phrases I think will do the trick.
Frankie: [scoffs] I think what your dad means is, you just need to be honest with him.
Sue: [sighs] I know. You're right. You're totally right. I know that's what I have to do. I just have to go over there and try not to look at his eyebrows, and just tell him my "Yes, sure" was really more of a "No, sure."
Mike: You want me to go with you? I'd be happy to go over there and personally make sure that he gets it. Hell, we can go right now, or I can just go.
Sue: Aw, Dad. That is so sweet, but I am gonna be 18 in two weeks. I am too old to have my daddy fix my problems. I'm the one who said "sure." I'm the one who has to do it. You mind if I sleep in here with you guys tonight?
Frankie: Oh, of course you can. [sighs] Are you hungry? You didn't eat much at dinner.
Sue: Kind of.
Frankie: What do you want... sweet or salty?
Sue: Ooh. [chuckles] Both.
Frankie: [v.o.] That night, Sue slept in our bed for the first time since she was a little girl, but the next day, it was time for her to step up and be a woman.

Quote from Axl
Brick: Anyway, since deciding to give up my tics a half-hour ago, I've whooped five times and whispered three. By the way, I'm counting them now, so I'm scared that might be a new one.
Frankie: Don't be discouraged, Brick. Being aware of the problem is half the battle.
Axl: Don't listen to her, Brick. That's mom speak for "I got nothing." Fortunately for you, I'm taking intro to psych this semester, and we're learning about this guy named Sigmund Freud. Uh, you guys might want to pay attention here, too. [Frankie chuckles]
Mike: We've heard of Freud, Axl.
Axl: Yeah, 'cause I just said it. Nice try, though. So, this Freud guy, he had the hots for his own mom. [shudders] But it's all good 'cause he figured out a way to turn his perviness into science. He invented these things called the ego, the superego, and the I.D. So, what I'm saying, Brick, is, I'm pretty sure I can fix you.
Brick: Can you fix me by tomorrow? I'm meeting Cindy at the library at 3:00.
Axl: I'd bet my C-plus on it.
Quote from Brick
Brick: I've been thinking about it, and now that I'm the make-out king...
Axl: Kissing a hillbilly in North Carolina and your giraffe of a girlfriend does not a make-out king make.
Brick: I'm sorry, how many different states have you kissed girls in? 'Cause I'm currently at three.
Frankie: Brick, it's not very gentlemanly to brag about your conquests.
[Mike gives Brick the A-okay sign]
Brick: The point is, I'm a man now, and since Cindy and I have officially taken it to the next level, I've decided it's time for me to give up my childish affectations... the whoops, the whispers, eating an entire pencil over the course of a week.
Quote from Axl
Axl: What the hell is going on?! Why is Darrin calling me asking me to be his best man?
Mike: 'Cause apparently your sister's getting married.
Axl: And you two guys are just sitting here letting this happen? Why aren't you stopping this?! My God, I have to do everything around here. I have to fix the sink, I have to fix the Brick, now I got to fix the Sue? You are not getting married, all right?! You've got too many dorky dreams to fulfill!
Sue: I know, Axl! I don't want to get married!
Axl: See? I've been saying this the whole time... this Darrin thing was a trainwreck, but you guys are all like, "Oh, he's harmless. Be supportive of your sister. Stop making vomit noises when you see them together."
Frankie: Okay, who's really to blame here? You're the one that brought Darrin home for a play date when you were 4.
Axl: I didn't even like him back then, but you said, "You better find something to like 'cause I like Mrs.
McGrew." [gasps] Oh, my God. Her name is gonna be "Sue Sue McGrew." [Sue gasps] [Axl claps slowly] Nice parenting. Classic.
Brick: Tension's a trigger. It's getting worse, Axl.
Axl: Just keep snapping, Brick. I'm juggling a million balls here.
