Mike Quote #1014
Quote from Mike in Clear and Present Danger
George: [on TV] Uh, I'm based in the corporate office, so I don't really know Mike Heck that well, which kind of makes it hard for me to share my favorite, uh, "Mike moment."
Mike: Sue, that's my boss.
Sue: Surprise.
Nancy: [on TV] My favorite Mike moment is, sometimes, when he's getting out of his car, he pretends like he doesn't hear me calling from my yard, and he just walks into his house. [laughs] Hilarious.
Jim: [on TV] I have so many Mike moments, it's hard to pick. Well, not a lot of people know this, but Mike loves cats. One time, I came into the trailer on a break, and Mike was watching this video of kittens befriending a bunny rabbit.
Mike: Okay, that's enough. [video fast forwards] I get the gist.
Sue: Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. Uh, there's, like, 15 more minutes left. Brad does a special poem, and the bagger at Frugal Hoosier had a really funny story. You're gonna miss it.
Mike: Yeah, well. [gets up and removes the disc] Here you go. [hands Sue the disc] What do you want me to do with this?
Brick: Well, the shoe kit's looking better.

Quote from Axl
Axl: Look, Brick, you don't need a book. You got me as your trainer.
Brick: No offense, Axl, but things weren't really going that well in the garage. It's been two days, and I think I might have actually lost muscle mass.
Axl: That's just all part of the workout program I've created specifically for your body. Right now you're like a lump of clay, but you give me some time, I'm gonna mold you into a work of fine art. It's like the statue of David. You think Michael and Angelo sculpted that thing overnight? No. Took those guys years.
Brick: Yeah... I just don't think someone who's on the decline physically should be teaching me.
Axl: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Decline? [laughs] Decli... Wha...? Who said I'm declining? I'm not declining.
Brick: Look, it's perfectly natural. In my research, I found that men hit their physical peak at age 25, then slowly decline. You're just a little ahead of schedule. From here on out, you're pretty much just gonna atrophy.
Axl: Got enough trophies, Brick. And, yeah, maybe I let myself go a little bit, but I just got to do a few push-ups, I'll be back in shape like that. [snaps fingers] Ow, cramp.
Quote from Brick
Brick: I remember the time Dad took me to play tennis. He got mad 'cause I brought my books, which the veins in his neck start popping out, but...
Sue: Cut. Brick, these are supposed to be nice memories.
Brick: Uh, that is a nice memory. Dad and I don't do a lot together.
Sue: Okay, well, it doesn't sound so nice. Now I want heartfelt, so step it up. Okay, make me feel something. And... action.
Brick: Here's a fond memory with Dad... the time he tried to teach me how to drive. The veins were really popping out of his neck then.
Sue: Brick, stop talking about veins.
Quote from Brick
Brick: What are you doing?
Axl: Nothing, nothing. Just admiring the view. How are those workouts coming?
Brick: Well, I know I need to get in shape, so I did the only thing that made sense to me. I went to the library and checked out a book. Jack Lalanne's Live Young Forever.
Axl: Oh, okay. What's he doing now?
Brick: He's dead. But before that, he was really cool. He could lift all these heavy things. He once pulled 70 boats. My goal is 15. That should be enough to impress Cindy.
