Quote from Sue

Sue: Okay, I know you said not to look at Yelp, Brad, but I did.
Brad: Oh, Sue. I have an advance copy of the yearbook. Don't look at that, either.
Sue: I just don't understand what's going on here. I mean, this whole thing has gotten totally out of hand. I got to find out who MallRat37 is. Oh, God! It could be anybody! Brad, give me your phone!
Brad: No!
Sue: Why not? Is it because you're MallRat37? Oh, my God! It is you!
Brad: Sue, stage slap! [Sue grunts]
Sue: Nice try, but that is not gonna do it! This ends now!

Quote from Sue

Sue: Can I have everybody's attention, please? What is happening to us as a society? What kind of world do we live in where people make nasty comments and don't even have the decency to sign their name? Well, I am here today to say that we are not gonna put up with it anymore. If people have constructive criticisms, then, please, just say them to my face.
Man #1: Your potatoes suck.
Sue: I said "constructive criticism."
Man #2: They taste like they've been microwaved instead of baked.
Sue: Okay, that's not true. They are pre-baked in Kansas. But my point is...
Woman #1: I feel like the pictures misrepresent the food.
Sue: Well, they do have food stylists, but that's just good advertising.
Man #1 The pop's flat.
Woman #2: That's because it's 90% ice.
Sue: Okay, that is a corporate issue. T-they tell us where to fill it.
Woman #1: I hate the cheap, plastic forks. We like real silverware.
Sue: Well, so did we, but people put them in the trash.
Man #2: Your potatoes belong in the trash.
Sue: You know, my Aunt Ginny said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Man #1: Your aunt's stupid.
Sue: She's actually dead.
Woman #2: Why? Did she eat one of your potatoes? [laughter]

Quote from Mike

Frankie: I was so mad when I left, I forgot my purse, and I didn't check the gas gauge.
Mike: [to Brick] Got any coupons for picking up a couple idiots in Tennessee?
