- J.T. Yorke: [to Emma as she's staring at Coach Armstrong and Sean] Don't you think you're being a bit obvious?
- Emma Nelson: About what?
- J.T. Yorke: Sean. If you stare any harder, your eyeballs will pop out.
- Gavin 'Spinner' Mason: [to Sheila about his lunch] What is that, nuclear waste?
- Sheila: I don't want to hear about it, Gavin.
- [Spinner takes his lunch]
- Gavin 'Spinner' Mason: Hey, guys, did you see the sign in the bathroom? Flush twice. It's a long way to the cafeteria.
- Sheila: Gavin, it might take a few extra years, but I can't wait for the day you graduate.
- Terri McGreggor: You know Liberty, that kid in seventh grade? Well, I heard Armstrong was coming on to her.
- Paige Michalchuk: Ew. You're kidding, right?
- Terri McGreggor: No, I overheard Emma. She saw him with his arm around her. Then on the steps, he gave her a love note. So what do we do, report it?
- Paige Michalchuk: Hun, you can't report a rumor.
- Liberty Van Zandt: Leave me alone, Emma.
- Emma Nelson: Liberty, what you need right now is a friend, someone to talk to.
- Liberty Van Zandt: But there's nothing to talk about.
- Emma Nelson: It's okay. You can tell me.
- Liberty Van Zandt: I am telling you.
- Emma Nelson: Are you sure you're not lying? Because we really have to report it.
- Liberty Van Zandt: Emma! I swear on my life that nothing's going on.
- Emma Nelson: But the whole school is talking.
- Liberty Van Zandt: I know and it's just a vicious rumor, honest. What if it gets to Mr. Raditch? To my parents?What will Mr. Armstrong say when he hears this?
- Emma Nelson: then there's only one way to handle this: stop the rumor and track down its source. Then give whoever who started it...
- Liberty Van Zandt: A good swift kick?
- Emma Nelson: I was going to say a good talking to, but that'll do.
- Emma Nelson: [after Liberty finds out that Emma spread the rumor about her and Mr. Armstrong] Liberty, I feel really bad. Is there something I can do, to help?
- Liberty Van Zandt: No, Emma. Go back to saving rainforests and whales because when it comes to help people, you suck.
- Darryl Armstrong: Good afternoon, everyone.
- [Terri and Paige give him a curious look]
- Darryl Armstrong: Something wrong, girls?
- Paige Michalchuk: Uh, no, uh nothing, Mr. Armstrong.
- Darryl Armstrong: .....Ok? Uh, today we're going to take a look at the distributive of properties.
- Darryl Armstrong: Ok, today we're gonna be dealing with equations. Now, dealing with equations, we always use the PEMDAS rule. Now, who could tell me what that stands for?
- [Everyone remains silent]
- Darryl Armstrong: What is with everyone today? Ok uh, why don't you tell us, Liberty. You and I've been working on it.
- [JT and everyone else start laughing]
- Darryl Armstrong: What is so funny?
- Principal Daniel Raditch: That's enough! Mr. Armstrong, can I have 5 minutes of your time?
- Darryl Armstrong: I was just about to get started here.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Mrs. Smith will take over the class.
- Darryl Armstrong: Right, uh ok, um, class, I want you all to begin working on the order operations exercises on page 129.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Liberty, would you join us, please?
- Liberty Van Zandt: [Sees Emma coming in the principal's office] What are you doing here?
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Emma, go back to class.
- Emma Nelson: I need to talk to you, Mr. Raditch.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Well, it'll have to wait a minute. I'm in the middle of something right now.
- Emma Nelson: It can't wait. You see, I'm in the middle of it, too.
