Quotes
-
Liberty Van Zandt : [as she shows Mr. Simpson her science project] Hour 147, notice a lack of green on the fern. Hour 148, even the cactus is beginning to dry out. Hour 140...
Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Thank you, Liberty. That'll do.
Liberty Van Zandt : But there's 52 more hours.
Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Oh, I'm sure there are. If only we had enough time.

Emma Nelson : Okay, for my project, I set out to prove that healthy food is good for you, but as scientists we must remember the human factor. Take JT Yorke, for example. His results threw me until I realized that chocolate and burritos make him happy. Better mood, better performance.
Liberty Van Zandt : What about Spinner Mason? How do you explain his results?
Emma Nelson : Margin of error. It makes sense since it is Spinner.

Manny : [after Emma wins at the science fair]
[whispers to Liberty]
Manny : You are so jealous.
Liberty Van Zandt : I'm not jealous. I'm appalled. Teacher's pet wins again.

Liberty Van Zandt : [to Emma] So it's true?
Emma Nelson : Simpson is dating my mom, yes.
Liberty Van Zandt : And now everyone knows. Embarrassing. Of course, I was a victim of gossip last year, so I sympathize.
Emma Nelson : Thanks, Liberty.
Liberty Van Zandt : You're welcome. Now let's talk about what you're going to do.
Emma Nelson : About what?
Liberty Van Zandt : There was a judging bias in your favor. Simpson's dating your mom.
Emma Nelson : So?
Liberty Van Zandt : So his bias doesn't bother you?
Manny : Don't listen to her, Em.
Liberty Van Zandt : She can make up her own mind. It should bother you because you, Emma Nelson, are a woman of conscience. One simple solution: turn in the award.
