• Gabby Harrison : High school boys are like old smart phones. They're buggy, they think too slowly...

  Mae Hartley : ...and they crash when you need 'em most.

• James Hartley : Give yourselves up!

  General McFee : You've stolen property of the United States government. Come out peacefully and tell us everything we want to know, or you will be locked up and tried for treason!

  James Hartley : And there is no way you are going to homecoming!

  Mae Hartley : [first line upon her and Gabby coming out from behind the pile of pallets with their hands up]  But, Dad!

  James Hartley : Not another word, young lady. I want you to get into this bulletproof Humvee this minute. And I want you to think about what you have done!

• Gabby Harrison : [to Mae while running from the military]  Hide.

• Mae Hartley : My bubble is totally un-burst, because I already have a boyfriend!

  Gabby Harrison : Mae, what are you doing?

  Gabby Harrison : Albert.

  Mae Hartley : Albert!

• Albert Banks : [in a football huddle]  Okay, guys, battle time. Download me an action plan.

  Jaden Stark : Just stay out of the way. Blast right 21 Z, on two.

  Gabby Harrison : [entering the huddle]  Albert.

  Albert Banks : Hello, Gabby.

  Gabby Harrison : You can not go into this game.

  Jaden Stark : Yeah, she's right. You haven't even been to the practices. You don't know the plays.

  Teammates : Yeah. Yeah.

  Mae Hartley : [entering the huddle]  Gabby, what are you doing?

  Albert Banks : Hello, Mae.

  Jaden Stark : Oh-ho, bestie versus boyfriend. Grab you popcorn, dudes.

  Albert Banks : It's all in good fun.

  Nevaeh Barnes : [entering the huddle]  Hey, get your boyfriend out of my homecoming game.

  Albert Banks : Hello, Neveah. That's heaven spelled backwards, guys.
