(As old lady comes out with Jem & the Holograms album) Eric Raymond: Hey, (Taking album from her) I said the Misfits. Old lady: Dear boy, they don't look like very nice girls. (Taking album back) Gimme that. These look like such nice girls.

Pizzazz: Have you picked our competition yet? Owen: Well. I'm considering the 5th Avenue Boys. Jerrica Benton is on her way over here to discuss it. Pizzazz: (Scoffs) You might as well give us the prizes now. Roxy: Those boys don't stand a chance against us.
Kimber: Jerrica. Please reconsider. Shana: We're the only ones who can compete against the Misfits. Aja: Rio's mad with you anyway. What have you got to loose.
Rio: (To Jerrica) You and Kimber are two of a kind. (Walking away) Keep your secrets. I've had enough.

Jerrica: Rio. I've something to tell you. I am Jem. Show time, Synergy. Rio hologram: All this time, you were really Jem and you didn't tell me. You made a fool out of me. You deceived me. You lied to me.
Synergy: What's wrong, Jerrica? Jerrica: I don't know what to do. I'm jealous of myself.
(When asked about Jem) Stormer: Jem who? Roxy: The name sounds vaguely familiar. Pizzazz: I guess the poor thing couldn't face our overwhelming superiority.
Reporter #1: Misfits, your single is number one. Reporter #2: Will your album be number one. Pizzazz: With talent like ours. Roxy: How could it possibly fail.
