Lindsay Sloane: Jackie Wallace

Quotes 

• Bill Wallace : [after telling the story about what happened to Jackie's father, Tony]  He had to be dead, that's what we figured, anyway.

  Jackie : Why didn't you tell me?

  Bill Wallace : You were too young, and besides, it wouldn't have brought him back.

  Terry McGinnis : But he is back, isn't he?

  Jackie : What do you mean?

  Terry McGinnis : That chemical they were dumping had catalyzing properties, it can scramble DNA with other organic materials, like the Earth itself.

• Jackie : If I spent as much time studying as I do practicing my cheers, I'd actually have an education by now.

  Dana : A girl's gotta have her priorities.

• Jackie : My father...

  Batman : He's not your father. Not really, he's... a ghost.

• Jackie Wallace : Will you please tell me what is going on?

  Bill Wallace : There's no time to explain. Now help me get your stuff together.

  Jackie Wallace : Those... those things that came up out of the ground, what were they?

  Bill Wallace : I... I don't know.

  Jackie Wallace : You know. Otherwise, we wouldn't be leaving like this. It's not like you.

• Bill Wallace : Sorry to interrupt the homework, but I'm trying to work on my expansion plans and I can't concentrate.

  Jackie Wallace : We're being as quiet as we can.

  Bill Wallace : That's why I can't concentrate. I get nervous when kids are too quiet.

• Jackie Wallace : You can't be. You just can't be. But you are, aren't you? You're him. You're my father.

  Earthmover : Yes... Jackie.

  Jackie Wallace : And this is what the accident did to you?

  Earthmover : Not accident!

• Bill Wallace : Tony? It's you, isn't it? It had to be.

  Jackie Wallace : Tony? That was my father's name. But this can't be...

  Bill Wallace : Get away from here as fast as you can. Go!

  Jackie Wallace : No. I want to know what this is about.

  Bill Wallace : Jackie, do what I say! Tony... please... I didn't know. I didn't know!

  Jackie Wallace : [Batman steps out of the shadows]  Bill, tell me everything. Now.

  Bill Wallace : I... I can't.

  Batman : Better tell her, unless you want me to.
