Lorna: ...So, now that we've determined that I belong here, let's talk about you.

Lorna: You're strange. I cut. I didn't feel like having my picture taken with those sub-humans.

Lorna: You're certifiable. You're welcome!

Lorna: You are certifiable! What is this? Some sort of smart-ass joke? You're taking cooking?
Michael: I want to learn how to cook.
Lorna: Yeah, right. You have some burning desire to learn how to make apple brown betty...
Michael: What are you doing here if you think so highly of it?
Lorna: Well, they wouldn't let me take auto mechanics, and I didn't have time to take the issue to the Supreme Court.

Michael: So, what are you doing over the summer?
Lorna: I have a job pumping gas.
Michael: You finally got the Supreme Court to hear your case, huh?
Lorna: Yeah.

Michael: I'm very happy with you.

Michael: They need me.
Lorna: I need you.

Michael: Aren't we supposed to question authority? You taught me that! Who do you think you are, General Patton?

Arthur Pope: Now, go out there and make a difference. Your mother and I tried. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Annie Pope: What are we doing to these kids? They’ve been running their whole lives like criminals, and they didnt do anything!

Abigail Patterson: What's this about a pizza?
Michael: Well, you ordered one.
Abigail Patterson: I didn't. Well, will you have to pay for it?
Michael: Oh no... I'll have to eat it.

Michael: If you want to go back, that's fine with me.
Lorna: You're a bully.
Michael: No. I'm a liar.

Michael: Now, I have no right in telling this to you. It's dangerous for you and it's dangerous for them, but i'm sorry i just couldn't stop myself. You can do what you want to, you can tell your dad; anything, i don't care. I just needed you to know... I don't know what i'm doing, and i love you.
