Brad Quote #85
Quote from Brad in Please Don't Feed The Hecks
Frankie: [v.o.] After five days of sleeping in her car, Sue decided... professor or not... she had to get her apartment back. And the only way to do that was to be a strong woman. So she sought out the best drama coach she knew.
Brad: Okay, let's ease in with a scene from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Are you okay with hair pulling? 'Cause I am if it's for art.
Sue: Actually, I just wanted to practice what I was gonna say, so I need you to be Professor Beckett.
Brad: Got it. What's he like?
Sue: Just be mean.
Brad: Mean. I'm a mean man. Go. Go now. I'm there.
Sue: [clears throat] Professor Beckett, there is no doubt this is an untenable situation for both of us, but I just want to be clear about what exactly my expectations are here. [Brad smiles] Brad, what are you doing? You're supposed to be mean!
Brad: I'm sorry. It's just so hard. You're too adorable. It's like a gumdrop started talking to me. Okay. Okay. I got this.
Sue: [sighs] [clears throat] Professor Beckett, there's no doubt this is an untenable...
Brad: Tell it to someone who cares. Think everything revolves around you, don't you, sister?
Sue: He's not gonna talk like that.
Brad: Oh, what if he does? What if he gets right up in your grill and tells you you're weak or desperate or your purse is an obvious knock-off? You gonna cry? Huh, little girl? You gonna cry?
Sue: [voice breaking] No.
Brad: This was good work. I think in a month or two, you'll be ready. [Sue cries]

Quote from Frankie
Frankie: [mouth full] I was gonna tell you.
Mike: Then why do you only have one fork?
Frankie: It's more romantic? Look, I know I was joking when I said we should trade the stuff in our house for Nancy's food, but then, just for the hell of it, I thought I'd give it a try. So I gave her the good rake, and half an hour later, voilà! Casserole!
Mike: Wait. The rake with the brown handle? That was the Norwoods'.
Frankie: Whatever. I am telling you, I am on to something, here. I mean, think about it... we got a house full of crap we need to get rid of, and Nancy loves doing nice things for people. It's a victimless crime. Except for the Norwoods, but they had to know when they loaned us that rake it was never coming back.
Mike: Just give me the fork.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Look, I know it's not his thing, but if you just told him it's important to you, he'll do it.
Brick: You really think so?
Axl: It's in their DNA. Goes way back to, like, the dinosaur days when the mama and papa dinosaur would protect the baby dinosaurs from people who'd try to put 'em in museums and stuff.
Brick: Hmm. I'm pretty sure that's wrong. But thanks, Axl. I'm gonna ask Dad.
Axl: Great. You know, a bus driver's a lot like a bartender in that, uh... [Brick returns to the back of the bus]
Quote from Brick
Brick: Well, as you may have observed, this route isn't exactly the rolling meat market I had hoped. Sophomore year is nothing like they make it seem in the movies, and it's quite possible that my breaking up with Cindy was a terrible idea.
Axl: Yeah, you're gonna die alone. No question.
Brick: And to top it off, Career Exploration Day is coming up where everyone's parents show up and talk about their jobs, but no parents will be there for me, which means I won't get the extra credit points, and of course, there's the obvious emotional damage...
Axl: Mom will do it. She'll wear a big purse and hit the janitor's closet for cleaning supplies.
Brick: Mom's not allowed to come since that whole thing with 8th grade graduation where she threatened to burn the school down. She's on some district-wide list.
Axl: Well, ask Dad.
Brick: If Dad didn't do it for you and Sue, you know he's not doing it for me. Sometimes I think I hear him run out the back door when I come home.
