Atticus Shaffer: Brick Heck

Quotes 

• Frankie Heck : Brick found the book!

  Brick Heck : Oh, not the book. I found these coupons for half-off at The Pie House.

  Frankie Heck : Brick, look at my face. Do you have any sense of how angry I am right now?

  Brick Heck : Nothing pie wouldn't fix.

  Frankie Heck : I will kill you.

  Sue Heck : Okay, uh, no offense, Mom, but Orson is losing its number one Christian role model, and all you can think of is a dumb book.

  Frankie Heck : You have a dad, too. Why don't you tell him about any of this stuff? It wouldn't kill him to listen every once in awhile. Mike.

  Mike Heck : Hey! I listen plenty. But there's only so many hours in a day, and I got to spend most of them at work so I can pay off things like overdue library books. Brick.

  Brick Heck : It's not my fault I can't find the book. I live with the messiest person ever. Axl.

  Axl Heck : Hey, if I'm messy, it's because I'm crammed into half a room instead of having my own room in a mansion that we can't afford 'cause they put all our money into Sue's mouth!

  Sue Heck : Oh! And why do you think I need braces, Axl? It is because you drank all the milk that I was supposed to get to make my teeth strong and healthy. I never got one sip. You just drained Mom dry. That is why I have uncorrectable teeth and Brick is a foot shorter than he should be.

  Axl Heck : No! No! No! D-D-Don't blame that on me. He's short 'cause he's hunched over a book all the time. That's why all his growth spurts are this way.

  Axl Heck : He keeps going, he's gonna be an "O".

  Brick Heck : Maybe I read all time 'cause Dad never took an interest in me. He's too busy coddling the milk hoarder.

• Frankie Heck : Was it irresponsible of him to lose that book? Yes. But books are his only friends. Tell him, Brick.

  Brick Heck : Well, I have made a few new friends. I mean, they don't invite me to do stuff, but I stand near them and they don't ask me to go away.

• Frankie Heck : Brick, did you learn your lesson?

  Brick Heck : Oh, I-I definitely did. Also, I learned that if my mom ever goes to jail again, I will tell my dad.
