Rusty Quote #76
Quote from Rusty in Guess Who's Coming to Frozen Dinner
Rusty: Plus, Mom would've wanted it that way.
Mike: What do you mean?
Rusty: Well, it was Mom's. She wore it all the time. Don't you remember? Yeah, I thought you'd remember.
Mike: Ah.
Rusty: You had more years with her than I did. You know, I was always kinda jealous about that.
Mike: Rusty. That was a very nice thing to do.
Rusty: Well, doggone it if I don't look at her face and see Mom every time. You must see that.
Mike: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do. [sighs]] Listen, um, I think that I judge you too harshly sometimes, and, uh, that's not really fair. You're my brother, but I don't always...
Rusty: Oh, Mike, you don't have to do that. We're family. We don't have to say words. Plus, we have that bond.
Like right now. Are you getting that? I'm going that telepathy thing. I'm telling you, "Get me a beer."
Mike: Let's go. I'll buy you one.
Rusty: Hey! It worked! [Mike chuckles] That's the first time it ever worked.

Quote from Brick
Brick: I'm beginning to feel like a literary character I've recently discovered. You see, there's this boy with a very round head, and he has a dog that sleeps on top of his doghouse. Apparently, he was a World War I fighter pilot. If you can suspend disbelief, it all works.
Sue: You're talking about Charlie Brown.
Brick: Then you've heard of it!
Sue: Everyone has.
Brick: Great. So I'm the last to know. Will the indignities never end? Axl's getting paychecks, you're on a nonstop vacation. Why is it never my turn? What does the universe have against me? [a baby picture of Brick falls off the wall and shatters]
Sue: It's okay, Brick! We can put up another picture of you.
Brick: There is no other picture of me.
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: That's why I gave Beth the necklace.
Mike: Who's Beth?
Rusty: That's your daughter. Beth.
Mike: Her name is Sue.
Rusty: Oh, I thought that was the little one's name.
Mike: He's a boy.
Rusty: Huh. You never heard of a boy named Sue?
Mike: I heard of the song.
Rusty: That's a song?
Mike: Anyway, it was an extravagant gift that came out of nowhere, so...
Rusty: Well, I just thought she should have it. She deserves it. I mean, things are tough enough for her going through life with a boy's name, you know?
Quote from Rusty
Rusty: Ah, there you are.
Mike: Rusty? What are you doing here?
Rusty: Waiting six hours for you to come out.
Mike: Well, why didn't you knock on the front door?
Rusty: Ah, I thought you'd pick up my vibe. Remember how we always had that special brotherly bond where we could read each other's minds?
Mike: No.
Rusty: I knew you were gonna say no. [chuckles]
Mike: So, what are you doing back in town? Last I heard, you were in Tampa.
Rusty: Yeah, see? You got that.
Mike: That's 'cause you told me.
