Cindy Quote #16
Quote from Cindy in The Core Group
Frankie: Brick, what are you doing?
Brick: Oh, texting Cindy. Since everyone else has their significant others here, I should, too.
Frankie: Brick, we've already started. By the time Cindy gets here, dinner's gonna be over. [Cindy walks in] How did you get here so fast?
Cindy: My mom took to her bed, so I have to fend for myself for dinner. I was eating apples from your neighbor's tree. Who's the blonde?
Brick: That's April.
April: Hi, I'm April!
Cindy: Oh. No shrimp? I'm irritated, but I'll hide it.
[After Mike brings over another chair and everyone shuffles around, the family and guests sit back down to dinner]
Frankie: So, Cindy, what's new in your world?
Cindy: My bio teacher has six fingers on one hand. At first, I thought he was holding a pencil, but he wasn't. When he's holding a pencil, it looks like he has seven fingers. Sorry, I'm just having a really hard time hiding my irritation about the shrimp.

Quote from Brick
Frankie: Brick, back me up on this.
Brick: I once saw a cartoon where a wolf saw a sexy rabbit in a nightclub, and his tongue came out like steps. That's how she made me feel... April, not the rabbit. A little bit the rabbit.
Quote from Brick
Frankie: Ooh! White jeans! You don't have those.
Brick: I'm sorry, Mom. No more cousin stuff. I'm putting my foot down, and not in those Crocs.
Frankie: All right. I'm just gonna try these snowpants on you while you talk.
Brick: No! It's high school... a fresh start. First impressions are key. Most people decide what they think about you within the first seven seconds of meeting you. It's in this fascinating book I've been reading. I found it by happenstance because it was erroneously mis-shelved.
Mike: Don't tell that story in the first seven seconds.
Quote from Frankie
Frankie: Because we won't have many more with just the core four...
Brick: Five.
Frankie: Five. I knew that. The rhyme threw me off.
Frankie: Look, we have a window, a small...
April: Where's your bathroom, again?
Frankie: Could you just hold it for a second, April?! We're at a crossroads. Axl's a senior, Brick is in high school...
Axl: I should really show April where the bathroom...
Frankie: No, you are not showing her where the bathroom is! Look, what I'm trying to tell you is that I love you! I love you, and we have to appreciate these moments together because we will never have this again, never! Do you get that?! The storm windows are shutting! I'm gonna ditch the whole idea of the storm windows. The point is, I love you! Now, clink your mayonnaise and your olives together like you mean it! [bottles clink]
