Brad Bramish: Hey! What are you doing here?

Brendan Frye: Just listening.

[long pause while Brad stares at him]

Brendan Frye: All right, you got me. I'm a scout for the Gophers. Been watching your game for a month, but that story right there just clenched it. You got heart kid. How soon can you be in Minneapolis?

Brad Bramish: Yeah?

Brendan Frye: Cold winters, but they got a great transit system.

Brad Bramish: Yeah?

Brendan Frye: Yeah.

Brad Bramish: Oh, yeah?

Brendan Frye: There's a thesaurus in the library. Yeah is under "Y". Go ahead, I'll wait.


The preceding exchange is from the 2005 movie, "Brick". Starring the kid from "Third Rock"(don't let that put you off, though), its a well written tale, woven with artful dialogue and dark comedy, plot and timeline twists, and amazingly not derivative of six other movies within the last ten years.

Worth the rental.




Assistant VP Gary Trueman: You've helped this office out before.

Brendan Frye: No, I gave you Jerr to see him eaten, not to see you fed.

Assistant VP Gary Trueman: Fine. And very well put.

Brendan Frye: Accelerated English, Mrs. Kasprzyk.

Assistant VP Gary Trueman: Tough teacher?

Brendan Frye: Tough but fair.
