Brick Quote #748
Quote from Brick in Film, Friends and Fruit Pies
Brick: Cindy, Troy, it has come to my attention via my mom that I might have been engaging in some bad behavior. In fact, the word "tyrant" has been bandied about. Anyway, I just want to say that if that's true, I'm sorry. I'm kind of new at this friendship thing, and I guess I'm not very good at it.
Troy: It's okay. My mom said I should apologize for flaking. She said I should be nicer to my friends 'cause I don't have a lot of options.
Cindy: My mom said the same thing.
Brick: So we're still friends?
Cindy: Yeah.
Brick: Sure.
Brick: Good. Maybe we should do something that a group of friends does, then. [silent pause]
Troy: What do friends do?
Brick: I think they get French fries.
Cindy: Okay. I'll see you guys at the fry place. [they split up]
Brick: Wait. I think when they go, they might actually go together.
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep, sometimes the key to friendship is not having a lot of other options. So you've got to be grateful for what you have, because when you think about it, aren't we all just random pieces lost in the carpet of life, looking for where we fit?

Quote from Mike
Mike: Sue, you got to come clean. You're too young to be in debt. It's different for us. We have a long-range financial plan where we die before we have to pay anybody off. But you don't have that cushion.
Quote from Sue
Mike: Hang on a sec. Where's all this money coming from?
Sue: Well, I've been using my Spudsy's money, and I popped all the quarters out of my 50 states collector's book, and I've been donating plasma. I'm not exactly sure what plasma is, and I don't know if you need it, but, from the way I've been feeling, I'm guessing you do.
Quote from Brick
Brick: Can you sign this form saying you take full responsibility for the school camera, editing equipment, the sound equipment, and lighting packet while it's in my possession?
Frankie: No, we will not.
Brick: Well, then I'll have to do that signature Axl taught me, 'cause I really need it for this project I'm doing for film class. Oh, heads up... I'm working on a shoestring budget, so I'm gonna be shooting it entirely in the house.
Mike: A horror movie, is it?
Brick: Well, the assignment is to take an important piece of film history and interpret it as our own. I'm thinking either Battleship Potemkin or Knots Landing. I love Knots Landing. I binge-watched all 14 seasons when we inherited that box of Aunt Edie's old tapes. Now, I know what you're thinking... Sure, Battleship Potemkin was named the greatest film of all time, but Knots Landing just has the undefinable "it." Plus it's one of the few true historical records we have of the 1980s.
Frankie: The '80s weren't that long ago, Brick.
Mike: It was 30-some years ago.
Frankie: Holy crap.
Brick: Well, I better get on it. I'll be in Sue's room, scouting locations. Also, I'm still on the fence, but the episode I'm looking at may require a small car explosion.
