Quotes

add »
(Emma thinks Tracker is wrong for wanting NAK to stay)
Tracker: I’m wrong? Tell me Emma, is it fair or is it wrong that Sean here is falling behind in school because we can’t afford a computer?
Emma: He can do his homework here.
Tracker: What? Yeah, on the free computers.
Emma: If you read the entire article, you would know -
Tracker: That it’s a piece of garbage.
Emma: It is not garbage!
Tracker: Looks like garbage to me. Smells like garbage.
Sean: Tracker, man...
Tracker: All I’m saying is there is two sides to every story. Try to remember that next time. (they leave) (edit)
Emma: Okay, so let’s try to imagine. You’re a squeegee kid.
Manny: Okay, I’m a squeegee kid.
Emma: So how does it feel being compared to a cockroach?
Manny: I’d say, “Hey, preppy kids. Get off my case. We’re people, too.”
Sean: Oh, please. (edit)
Emma: That’s the thing. They don’t us to think. They wants us to become braindead NAK robots.
Toby: (to Manny) What’s with her?
Manny: NAK rage, kind of like road rage. (edit)
Paige: Every time NAK claims your airspace, you go all manic-depressive.
Ashley: That is so not true. I just - Look at this zit!
Terri: That’s a pore and Paige has a point. (edit)
Emma: Last week NAK told us to join the army. What’s tomorrow? A hole in the O-Zone is good because it makes a better tan? Imagine being a squeegee kid. Out in the cold, no school, no parents.
Toby: No parents?
Emma: Toby this isn’t a joke! (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Emma sends the email to Sean, you can see she is replying to a message called, "That was brutal". It wouldn't make sense because Sean looked surprised when he got an email. (edit)
