• Christine 'Spike' Nelson : [to Emma]  You have a lot of explaining to do.

  [Emma doesn't say anything] 

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : You're not talking to me? Emma, you start talking right now!

  Emma : You lied to me, Mom. I found him.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Shane? You found Shane?

  Emma : Right where you left him. In that prison in Stouffville, how could you?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I didn't put him there. His parents did!

  Emma : You didn't stop them? How could you?

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I was sixteen.

• Emma : My mom is such a liar!

  Craig Manning : No, you're overreacting.

  Emma : Craig, my father is brain damaged.

  Craig Manning : At least you have a dad. Last time I checked, you had two.

  Emma : I'm sorry, I'm an idiot.

  Craig Manning : No, you're not. Let's just... let's just go home.

• Joey Jeremiah : [When Joey picks up Emma and Craig from the train station]  What a great way to start off the school year, guys. Second day of school, and like "Oh, oh I know. Let's skip. Oh, aren't we cool?" You know it took me over an hour to get here? What am I, a taxi service? Just one question. Stouffville? What on earth is in Stouffville?

  Emma : My dad.

• Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Emma, please. Let's just talk this through rationally.

  [Emma shakes her head] 

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Emma, sit!

  Emma : You don't talk to me like that. You're not my dad.

  [storms off to her room, and breaks down into tears] 

• Shane McKay : [about Spike]  She's a liar!

  Emma : She's my mom, and if you hurt her, I will never ever speak to you again.
