Sue Quote #1054
Quote from Sue in The Crying Game
Sue: Oh! Mrs. K! Ahh! Ooh, it's so great to see you! I have missed you! Okay, I have been meaning to visit, but I have been so busy with college and applying for internships and my no-cut a cappella.
Mrs. Kozicki: I'm sorry. Who are you?
Sue: Sue. Sue Heck.
Mrs. Kozicki: Axl and Brick's sister?
Sue: Yes, but also Sue Heck... your student.
Mrs. Kozicki: Does not ring a bell.
Sue: Pbht. What? But we were really close. Remember? I made you that pencil cup holder that said "Have a Healthful Day"? [chuckles] You were in my high-school collage of my favorite high-school memories.
Mrs. Kozicki: Oh. Look, I've had a lot of students over the years. I can't remember every one.
Sue: Well, you should. Because they remember you. You know, teachers are so important to students during their formative years.
Mrs. Kozicki: Yeah, I guess you didn't really distinguish yourself.
Sue: Didn't distinguish myself?! I pulled your dog out of your boiling car in the parking lot. I gave him mouth to mouth. I saved his life.
Mrs. Kozicki: Well, I thought that was Ana Hajarajanaan.
Sue: I cannot believe how hurtful you're being. You know, kids look up to teachers. You are supposed to help mold students' lives, but you're not doing anything. Well, if I had any interest in becoming a teacher, I would come in here and just take your job! You're a disgrace to that apple that's not on your desk! I am gonna go home right now and crack open that Lucite and take you out of my collage! Oh, and please don't fail my brother.

Quote from Sue in The Graduate
Sue: Brad! Brad! The yearbooks are in!
Brad: I know, I know! Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Sue: Here! Three years of bad pictures, and it took me till senior year to finally make sure I got a good one. Ah! Yes! In her first decent picture in four years of high school, it's... Ana Hajarajanaan? Why is the name under my first good picture Ana Hajarajanaan?
Brad: Ugh.
Quote from Sue in Royal Wedding
Frankie: [v.o.] And that's how a little mnemonic device like "news" ballooned into...
Sue: "NEWSBENJIVERTS." My brother came up with "NEWS," but I came up with "BENJIVERTS."
Samantha: Now our third and final candidate, Sue Hickey.
Frankie: [v.o.] That's when Sue introduced the world to "NEWSBENJIVERTS." B for "blink less"...
Sue: Happy Thursday, fellow shuckers.
Frankie: [v.o.] E for "enunciate"...
Sue: The flooded auditorium-uh will be drain-uh-d in time for the spring muh-usical.
Frankie: [v.o.] N for "nodding"...
Sue: And kudos to the girls soccer team for defeating the other team from...
Frankie: [v.o.] And who could forget V for "very big gestures"?
Sue: I'm Sue Heck, and that's what the Heck's go... [knocks over glass of water and microphone] On.
Samantha: Cut to black! Cut to black!
‘The Crying Game’ Quotes
Quote from Brick
Brick: Well, I did not have a good day. I just wanna get out in front of this... I might be getting a very bad grade in health. But it's not my fault. My teacher has it in for me.
Frankie: All right, tell me all about it.
Brick: Well, I thought my reproductive-system test would've brought up my grade, but turns out, I miscalculated. I thought I had two ovaries, but apparently that's not what mine are called.
Quote from Axl
Frankie: [v.o.] So Axl set out to help his brother and ask his old teacher to show Brick a little mercy.
Axl: Hi. Mrs. Kozicki? Axl Heck.
Mrs. Kozicki: I know who you are.
Axl: Right. Right. Um, look, this might be a bit overdue, but I know I didn't really return my baby in the best condition, so I just wanted to apologize.
Mrs. Kozicki: The baby? That's just the start. Look. [pulls down chart of "Female Reproductive System"] Your little flying butt men, in permanent marker. Not only is this destructive, but it sends a very confusing message about the human anatomy.
Axl: All right, that's my bad. But I just wanted to say...
Mrs. Kozicki: You ditched my class, you snored through my safety videos, and I can't even count how many times I walked in here to find Resusci-Annie and the skeleton in compromising positions.
Axl: Wow. Okay. Well, first of all, you have a very good memory. And yeah, I was kind of a tool back then, but I'm not that guy anymore. I have a really good job now.
Mrs. Kozicki: Uh-huh. You say you're working, and yet it's the middle of the day and here you are. Obviously you're putting the same effort into your job as you did my class.
Axl: Okay. Maybe I didn't come to your class 'cause it sucked. Yeah. I screwed around a lot. I admit it. But anybody can teach the dorks who want to learn. Isn't trying to reach guys like me the whole reason you took this job? And here I am, all these years later, trying to say sorry, and you're still treating me like crap. Well, maybe you should've been a better teacher! How about that?! Nobody likes you, Jody! Oh, why did I come here again? Oh! Also... [sighs] Don't fail my brother.
Quote from Frankie
Sue: You know, it's just not fair. Sometimes as a kid, you are just at the mercy of the school system. Like when you get a "C" on a paper because a teacher was too tired when she read it. Or you don't make treasurer because your adviser doesn't turn in the recommendation form on time! I mean, that didn't happen to me... I didn't get the votes... but it could.
Brick: Exactly! How am I supposed to get a good grade with a baby that shorts out under florescent lights? She's trying to sabotage me.
Sue: I mean, we're all just trying to do our best, right?
Axl: Yeah, but you can't do that if some crabby old bat on a power trip wants to screw you over.
Frankie: Oh, my God. Stop the whining. News flash... life's not fair. Sometimes you get a bad teacher, sometimes you get a bad boss. There's always gonna be mean people in your life. That's just the way it is. So you just gotta suck it up and deal with it. That's how the world works.
Brick: Yeah, but it's not my fault I got this crappy baby.
Frankie: Trust me, sometimes you don't get the baby you want. You gotta love it anyway. [exits]
Brick: Which one of us do you think she was talking about?
Frankie: [o.s.] All of you!
