Axl Quote #782
Quote from Axl in Steaming Pile of Guilt
Axl: [sighs] Come on. Now he's just reading from some lame catalogue. This is mind-blowingly boring.
Frankie: Hey, if you were talking for the whole day, we might find what you have to say boring, too. I've lost a half an hour of my life listening to you talk about how you can eat a meatball sub without using your hands.
Axl: Oh, yeah, and you're not boring? "How did this bruise get on my hip, and why won't it go away?" "Yesterday, it was more blue, but today, it's more yellow, and I don't even know how it got there." What's today's bruise report, Mom? I didn't get my newsletter.
Mike: You do talk an awful lot about your bruise, Frankie.
Frankie: I'm just trying to fill the air with words, Mr. "How was your day? Fine."
Mike: My day was fine. [sighs] I'm not gonna embellish just to entertain you.
Sue: I agree. Dad is the most boring.
Axl: You know how boring you are, Sue? You can't even get voted "Most boring."
Brick: Excuse me. I'd be happy to listen to whatever it is you're talking about on your birthdays, but right now we are discussing... Oddly shaped fruits.
Axl: [sighs] Oh... my... God.

Quote from Brick
Brick: For years, you've ignored me. You've wandered away when I'm talking. Often when I'm sharing something I feel is important, your eyes glaze over or Axl goes "blah, blah, blah." So now you're finally going to listen to what I have to say.
Mike: We got to get a calendar system.
Brick: I spent a lot of time thinking on how I should kick things off, and I believe I've landed on something that's a real crowd-pleaser. Railroad gauges. You've probably always wondered how we ended up with the 4-feet, 8.5-inch gauge. Well, it all begins with the chariots of imperial Rome...
[later, "Fun with Vowels":]
Brick: You see, I was always curious if there were any words that contained the five vowels "a," "e," "i," "o," and "u" in just that order. Turns out, there are a handful.
[later, "My favorite manuals and catalogues":]
Brick: Item c493l... portable sewing kit...
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [microwave beeps] Okay, we need something green to go with dinner. Ooh! We can make ice-pack peas. They haven't been in there that long. When was the O.J. chase? You know, we really should buy some fresh vegetables sometimes, just so w... [gasps] Oh, my God. We forgot Brick's birthday.
Mike: What?
Frankie: Brick's birthday... in November! What month are we in now?
Mike: February. [Frankie sighs] Yeah, that's bad. You know, it's been so long, at this point, maybe we should just float it to next year.
Frankie: That's what we did last year. Ugh! We're treating him like a leap-year baby. [gasps] Sue's birthday... that's coming up, too! Oh, seriously, why do we have two birthdays so close together?
Mike: We didn't.

Brick: I also would have accepted "old book smell."
