• [Tory and her father arrive at the new house] 

  Tory : Wait. This is a joke, right? This is our poor neighbors' house, and then you're gonna take us to our house.

  J.D. Reding : Never judge a book by it's cover, honey.

  Tory : Dad, this book doesn't even have a cover.

• [Tory and her father drive in the jeep to the new house] 

  Tory : Dad, I'm still depressed. I mean, come on - Here I am in New Mexico with my hick father for the whole summer.

  J.D. Reding : Hey!

  Tory : On offense, okay?

  J.D. Reding : First of all, it's not New Mexico. It's North Dakota.

  Tory : Like it matters. All I care about is it's not L.A.

• [Tory and her father enter down into the old basement] 

  Tory : Huh. Oh, great. Just when I thought this house couldn't get any worse... an old basement. Well... great place to store all the rocks and pine cones I'm going to find.

  J.D. Reding : Okay, it's a little dusty. I admit that. We'll just clean it up a little bit, splash some paint around.

  Tory : Oh, God. You'd need to splash some bulldozers around to fix this place up.

• [Tory tells her father she can find a hotel nearby] 

  J.D. Reding : You're making too big a deal out of this, honey. This is a great house, I got a great buy on it.

  Tory : Yeah, from who? Dracula? How about I get a hotel somewhere in town and you can come visit... like once a week? Hey, I'll pay for it.

  J.D. Reding : Tori, honey... you really think money's all you need to get by in this life, huh?

  Tory : [sarcastically replies with]  Okay, I'll go with that theory.

• [the father J.D Reding meets Alex and Ozzie] 

  J.D. Reding : So, you boys need any help out here?

  Alex : Um. I'm afraid that our liability insurance forbids anyone but us handling the tools and equipment. But thanks for the offer.

  [the father smiles as the two walk off] 

  Alex : Boy, I could go for a beer right now.

• [Tory falls after something touches her leg from under the truck] 

  Tory : [Nathan comes to check on Tory]  I thought that was you rubbing my leg.

  Nathan Murphy : And you let me?

  Tory : That's not the point. Something was rubbing my leg, like caressing it. And it-it ran off over there.

  J.D. Reding : It's probably just an old possum, honey.

  Tory : No, dad. That was not an animal. I know what it feels like when a man caresses my leg.

  J.D. Reding : You do?
