Dialogue
edit- Allie: Any chance you're getting a vision on how it goes?
- Miles: Am I doubled over clutching my head in excruciating pain?
- Allie: No.
- Miles: Well, there you go.
- Miles: Tell me again why I'm at a party with a bunch of meathead jocks?
- Allie: I'm a jock, Miles. Am I a meathead?
- Miles: No, but this party's the first step.
- Allie's Father: [reading] "As the keepers of the prophecy, it falls to members of the Order to search for potential Arthurs in each and every generation, but beware the Dark Forces, led by a reincarnation of Mordred, determined to find the next Arthur and destroy him before he can realize the prophecy." So, see, what they're saying...
- Allie's Mother: If Arthur isn't found soon, Mordred and his followers will send us back into the Dark Ages - ignorance, humiliation, suffering...
- Miles: [brightly] High school!
- Miles: Who said I wanted to be your friend?
- Allie: You.
- Miles: No, I didn't.
- Allie: Why are you still talking to me?
- Miles: But I'm not.
- Allie: Ah, but by saying you're not talking to me, you ARE talking to me. Check and mate.
- Miles: I always do my assignments in half the time alloted.
- Allie: Why?
- Miles: To prove that I'm better than everyone else?
- Allie: [laughs] And more modest.
- Miles: That, too.
- Allie: THAT was sarcasm.
- Miles: How's it sarcasm if you're right?
- Will: Listen. Hear the wind in the trees. It's... like music.
- Allie: Football players aren't supposed to talk like that.
- Will: You're making fun of me?
- Allie: We have to tell Will so he can defend himself.
- Miles: Oh, yeah, that'll be great. "Hey, Will, you're the reincarnation of King Arthur, your step-brother is Mordred, and he's going to try and destroy you. You gonna eat those fries?"
- Allie: Hmm. Yeah, it's a little out there, isn't it?
- Miles: Yeah, we passed "out there" about five exits back.
- Miles: I wonder what they ate in Camalot.
- Allie: Muton with a side of beets. Mm, and sage water, but only from the north.
- Allie: [having just heard herself] I didn't even know I KNEW that!
- Miles: I don't know how things were at your last school, but around here you can't get any higher than an A, so you can stop trying so hard.
- Allie: It's called being nice, Miles. You should try it instead of hiding your insecurities behind your snark.
- Allie: We just came in to get some fake armor for the school mascot, Officer.
- Will: Yeah. I have no idea what Mr. Moore is talking about.
- Miles: And I'm a National Merit Scholar. I don't kidnap teachers - I suck up to them.
- Allie: You know, if Will is King Arthur, and Marco is Mordred, maybe you're Merlin the wizard. Merlin was a psychic.
- Miles: Doubtful. Merlin had a long white beard; I can barely grow a nose hair.
- Allie's Father: So, did someone float your boat?
- Allie: [laughs] "Float my boat?" What year is this?
- Allie's Mother: He means, do you fancy anyone?
- Allie: "Fancy..." Really, you guys? Century up.
- Miles: Avert your eyes.
- Allie: Excuse me?
- Miles: You're making a tactical error of monumental proportions right now.
- Allie: By sitting at my desk?
- Miles: By talking to me. I mean, come on, you had a great start. I saw you talking to Captain Everything this morning. You have a chance to be in the poplar group. Don't mess it up.
