Quote from Sue
Jeremy: [talks normally] Sue, what's going on?
Sue: [over bullhorn] Guess I'm just a big, giant jerk.
Jeremy: No, no, no, no, no. [takes her bullhorn] You're just still working out some meat toxins from your system. Yeah, that's right. I saw you eating bacon at breakfast yesterday.
Sue: [talks normally] O-okay, okay. Jeremy... Okay. Don't you feel like lately, I don't know, we're just... in different places?
Jeremy: Hey, hey, we're not in different places. We're right here on a journey... together.
Sue: Okay. But don't you feel like, I don't know, lately, it's gotten kind of hard?
Jeremy: [scoffs] Changing the world is hard, Sue. We're not quitting on the earth when she needs us the most, and I'm not quitting on us. You're not quitting on me, are you, Sue?
Sue: [sighs] No.
Jeremy: Okay, then.
Jeremy: [over bullhorn] Hey, you! Hey, fashion slave!
Quote from Sue
Jeremy: [over bullhorn] Tell the university to divest its endowment...
Frankie: [v.o.] Breaking up with Jeremy was harder than Sue thought, so she took the obvious next step...
got her no-cut a cappella group to do it for her.
Landis: This is from Sue. [plays pitch pipe] Three, four.
A cappella group: [sing] Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Whoo, whoo! Track 29 Well, you can give me a shine Give me a shine
Quote from Brick
Brick: Great plays, you guys. Great plays. Franklin went down. [chuckles] And remember, when football is over, Font Club. Wednesdays after school in the Xerox room. Limited cookies for early comers. Troy.
Troy: Hey, Brick. You see me play?
Brick: I did. The way that you pushed down that person was quite impressive.
Troy: Thanks, man.
Brick: Anyways, I was wondering if you were free to grab some French fries on Saturday.
Troy: Oh, shoot. One of the guys, Psycho, is having a party Saturday.
Brick: Oh. Okay.
Troy: Wait. You should come.
Brick: Oh. Sure, I guess. Should I have my parents call Psycho's parents?
Troy: I don't think high school works that way.
Brick: Great. Go Hens.
All: Go Hens! [all cheer]
Quote from Axl
Jeremy: Free refreshments! Hey! Care for a big glass of fracking juice? Make yourself a frackarita. You like that?
Axl: Yo, dude. We need to talk. Listen, my sister's done with you.
Jeremy: Is she? Axl, let me ask you something. Have you ever been in love?
Axl: [scoffs]
Quote from Axl
Sue: Oh, hey. So, is it done?
Axl: Uh... yeah-ish.
Sue: Oh, my God. You didn't do it.
Axl: Uh...He talked about love, okay?! And I'm very sensitive to that right now. So when the four of us go to dinner on Thursday, we can talk about it then.
Sue: I cannot believe you caved, Axl. I want my money back.
Axl: I don't have it. I gave it to stop fracking. The guy is good.
Lexie: [enters] Hey.
Axl: Oh, Lexie, seriously? You're a very cute girl. Just please, have some dignity.
Quote from Sue
Jeremy: Oh, hey. Sue, glad you're here. I'm chaining myself to the administration building. I need you to hold my pee bottle.
Sue: Uh... what? No. You hold your own pee bottle. I have something to say, and I need you to listen.
Jeremy: Sue, you can wait. The earth can't.
Sue: Stop it. Jeremy, no. For once, you are going to stay and listen to me.
Jeremy: Sue, what are you do... [lock clicks]
Sue: Jeremy... I think we should stop seeing each other.
Jeremy: Wow, this came out of nowhere.
Sue: Are you serious? I sent my brother. I sent my no-cut a cappella group to sing "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
Jeremy: They sang "Chattanooga Choo Choo."
Sue: [gasps] Ugh, Landis. Mnh. Always pushing his own agenda. He's got a solo in that one.
Quote from Sue
Jeremy: Look... Look, Sue, we can't break up. We're a team. Me, the fierce, tireless, natural-born leader, and you... the naturalborn follower.
Sue: What? You think I'm a follower?
Jeremy: Sue, babe, I didn't mean follower as a bad thing. I just meant that I have all this great knowledge. I'm the person out there on the front lines changing the world, and you're like this sponge that soaks up everything I say.
Sue: I am not a sponge. I have grit. Sponges do not have grit. Okay, some sponges have grit, like the ones with the pot-scoury side, but that's not the point. The point is you think I am your mindless follower? [scoffs] You want to know what I think, Jeremy? I think you don't do all this stuff for the earth. I think you do it for you because you don't actually care about anyone else's ideas. You only care about your own ideas and hearing yourself talk. So, pardon me, Jeremy. Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? Yeah, it is, and it's going thata-way. And you are going that-a-way.
Jeremy: Wait, uh, Sue, the... the... [keys rattle]
Quote from Frankie
Paramedic #1: Ma'am, can you hear me? Excuse me, ma'am, can you hear me? You took quite a spill there.
Paramedic #2: Just gonna check your hips for any bruising or fractures.
Frankie: Okay. [gasps] No, wait. No, see, there was this table, and they had all the underwear spread out on them, and I wasn't wearing my glasses. [chuckles]
