Kirby: I'm sorry Delaney. I should have been paying attention.
Delaney: Maybe I should just give up.
Kirby: No. Your not giving up. We're going to get you on the team if it's the last thing I do.
Delaney: What if the guy comes back?
Kirby: Then I'll beat him up or Steve will beat him up. I'm not going to let anybody hurt you.
Delaney: You promise?
Kirby: I promise.
Delaney: Pinky swear promise?
Kirby: Pinky swear promise.

Kirby: Thank god you're here.
Delaney: I'm ready for my next lesson.
Steve: Good let's do some hitting.
Delaney: Okay. However I'm not going to get any balls that I hit. Especially, the ones that go out of distance. Especially if there's a chance I could get kidnapped or threatened.

Alicia: Shit happens. If it makes you feel better you'll bury your parents before they bury you.
Danny: I want to die first because they'd spit in their graves if they new what I have become.

Alicia: You know. It wasn't my fault. Kirby and the others like Mrs. Thurman brought this on themselves.
Danny looks up puzzled.
Danny: What you talking about?
Alicia: I added a list of 25 people to that list including Mrs. Thurman.
Danny: WHAT!
Alicia: I guess that's what happens when you decide to throw a party because I'm not in class.
Danny: Alicia it was a joke.
Alicia: Who was laughing with me?
Danny: Nobody was. However, at the same time I don't think they did it to be mean. I think they did it to be funny and didn't expect you to flip out.
Alicia: Kirby me best friend? She was involved too.
Danny: Kirby and I were against it. Mrs. Thurman was going to do it whether we agreed with her or not. Also your mad about Kirby throwing a party? Your planning to kill her what does that say about you?
Alicia: I'm killing her for Jill. It's what Jill would have wanted.
Danny: That's why Jill is in Hell as we speak. Alicia you have done bad things but you can make them better if you admit what you did.
Alicia: We'll see. We'll see.
