Quotes
-
Emma Nelson : [holding a tomato] Mr. Raditch, try one of these.
Principal Daniel Raditch : Tomatoes.
Nadia Jamir : Genetically modified tomatoes, like Sheila uses in the caf.
Principal Daniel Raditch : It's perfectly fine.
Emma Nelson : Yeah, and you could hardly even taste the scorpion, can you? They add scorpion DNA to make them resistant to pests. Of course, nobody knows what eating scorpion DNA will do to us.
Principal Daniel Raditch : You're right. That is disturbing, but it's also speculation. I've done some research on GM foods and I know they haven't proven to be harmful.
Ashley Kerwin : Or harmless.
Principal Daniel Raditch : Making crops resistant to drought and disease might be worth the risk. Thanks for all your hard work and for bringing this to my attention, but with the cutbacks, we're lucky to even have a cafeteria. I'm sorry.

Principal Daniel Raditch : [after the food fight in the cafeteria]
[to Emma]
Principal Daniel Raditch : You're suspended for the rest of the day.
Emma Nelson : But I didn't throw anything!
Principal Daniel Raditch : You started it by all accounts. First, the flyers and then all this...
Emma Nelson : So that's what this is about? You're punishing me for protesting?
[as Mr. Raditch is dialing his phone]
Emma Nelson : If you're calling my mom, she's away at a stylist convention.
Principal Daniel Raditch : Then I'll release you to your stepfather.
Emma Nelson : Fine. Archie... Mr. Simpson will support me 100%.

Principal Daniel Raditch : [to Emma as she's protesting outside of school] You about done here, Ms. Nelson?
Emma Nelson : I'm not on school property and I'm not leaving until my voice is heard.
Principal Daniel Raditch : Oh, your voice will be heard.
Emma Nelson : That sounds like a threat... sir.
Principal Daniel Raditch : It's a suggestion. You either apologize for all this on tomorrow morning's video announcements or you get a one-week suspension.
