Parent's Night is fast approaching and Toby is dreading it... but not for the usual reasons. He cooks up a scheme to convince his parents not to attend, but it backfires on him. Meanwhile, Ashley and Paige compete for the attention of a top Hollywood casting director.

(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)
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.
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.
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.
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!
(NAK is shown on the TV) Ryan: Hi, I'm Ryan, and this is Nicole. And welcome to NAK, News About Kids. Today we'll be talking about that infests major cities everywhere Nicole: And we're not talking cockroaches, we're talking squeegee kids. Ryan: Stalking street corners, waiting to pounce on un suspecting cars. Hijacking your hard-earned cash to waste on drugs and tattoos. Nicole: Are squeegee kids legit or lazy? Are they using their "cool" trend for today's media saturated youth?
J.T.: Hey, we could contaminate the water fountations with E Coli, that way they'd have to shut down the school, right? Toby: There probably is E Coli in the fountations. Snake: (interupting) Actually, we test our water on a daily basis, boys. It's fine.
Paige: (to Ashley and Terri) Heather Sinclair has an agent...with that overbite?
Paige: Where would Ashley get a casting agent? Ashley: Hey, guys! Toby's mom is a casting agent.
JT: Sorry, man. Didn't know it was that serious. Toby: Yeah, well, it is that serious.
Paige: Toby, Hon... That's... great.
Manny: He stared right at you. Emma: That's because I bumped into him.
Mr. Simpson: (to Toby) Your parents should be proud of the way you handled them in there. I know I certainly was.
