Frankie Quote #1409
Quote from Frankie in Siblings and Sombreros
Frankie: Listen, I just wanted to talk to you about what went down before, about the whole sombrero thing.
Axl: Ugh, I am this close to finding a new place to do my laundry.
Frankie: Look, I just want you to know it may not seem like it, but I understand your frustration, okay? You know I love Sue with all my heart. But believe me, I am very aware that she can be a little... relentless.
Axl: Yes! Thank you!
Frankie: I know. She gets a hold of something, and she will not let it go. She's all, "Wah, wah, wah, it's my senior year! Let's have a weekly game night! You guys, we have to help Africa!" But that's just who she is. She's like an excited, confused puppy who's running in all directions, bumping into walls.
Axl: Finally! [chuckles] So, what do you want to do about it? Should we remove her from society, scoop out a part of her brain?
Frankie: Look, I get it. I know sometimes it can be very annoying for you, but you're two years older. So, maybe the next time she's being all Sue and getting on your nerves, you can just take a deep breath and let it roll off your back. Be the bigger person.
Axl: Yeah. I guess I could do that.

Quote from Brad
Sue: [to a bird] Hey, no, no, no! Shh! Shh! Get out of here! Hey! Shoo! Woof, woof! Woof, woof! What are crows scared of?
Brad: [gasps] Scarecrows!
Sue: Ooh. Right, right, right.
Brad: [clears throat] [sings] I could wile away the hours, conferring with the flowers Consulting with the rain [drumming] And my head, I'd be scratching While my thoughts were busy hatching If I only had a brain
Quote from Brick
Mike: All right. Get your stuff out. Let's do this. Let's have some fun. [Brick opens his bag] What are those?
Brick: Oh, books about tennis. I've got the Arthur Ashe biography, So You Want to Play Tennis, and The Grapes of Wrath in case these are boring.
Mike: W-where's your racket?
Brick: I'm sorry. What do you mean?
Mike: Uh, I said, "we're gonna go out and hit."
Brick: Yeah, hit the books. I don't do anything without reading about it first.
Mike: I... can't believe you didn't bring a racket. I know I saw you put a can of balls in there.
Brick: Oh, no. This is Pringles, in case we get hungry from reading and need a snack.
Quote from Brick
Mike: Let me ask you something, Brick. Is this kid Tobolski a good athlete?
Brick: Oh, yeah. When we run the mile, he's definitely in front of the pack. I usually just run a few feet and then disappear in the bushes, where I've hidden a book. Smart, huh?
Mike: Mm-hmm, and what did your teacher say about you wearing each others' shorts?
Brick: Well, he doesn't really know us, so he just shouts out whatever name's on our shorts.
Mike: Aha. So he calls you...?
Brick: Tobolski.
Mike: And he calls Tobolski...?
Brick: Heck, I guess. Again, I'm not always around to see it 'cause I'm frequently faking a leg cramp to get a banana from the nurse's office.
Mike: [clicks tongue] Brick, don't you get it?
Brick: Oh. So you're saying...
Mike: That's right. You didn't win that medal. Your shorts did.
Brick: Wow. So I did that whole jumping jack for nothing? [Mike nods] Hmm.
