ADD QUOTES
- Madison Skutcher: It (the poem) seemed like total gibberish to me. I asked him what he liked about it? He replied, 'The title.' It was called 'The Great Believer.' So that's what I titled my article. Anyway, the nickname stuck.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jack: That was heartwarming. When's the last time you made us sandwiches? Grace: When's the last time you ate cat food?
  EDIT SHARE
- Grace: Bobby, how do I look? Bobby: Hot. Jack: (disgusted look) Bobby! Bobby: What? (Jack grunts and walks away.)
  EDIT SHARE
- Bobby: Just being different to be different, isn't that kind of fake?
  EDIT SHARE
- Madison Skutcher: It was a national crisis of spirit. McCallister lifted us from that darkness.
  EDIT SHARE
- Grace: Is sarcasm your only mode now, Jack? I mean, I know you're only a teenager but it might be time to mix things up a bit.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jack: Unacceptable. How's that? Grace: Forceful. Articulate. But moot.

  EDIT SHARE
- It is revealed President McCallister got his nickname "The Great Believer" from the title of an article that was written by Madison Skutcher. She got the title from the title of a poem that President McCallister kept framed on his desk. The poem is the same poem that was given to him by the homeless man, Jonah.
