Bridgette: [scoffs] She's not a real doctor, she just stayed in school too long.

Bridgette: [picks up an intelli pill from the bowl and walks into the hallway] I'll show them smart. [swallows the pill and an electric bolt elevates up from her spine to her brain] Huh? I guess it doesn't work. AAGH! [falls onto her knees] Mind on fire. Hypotenuse! Parthenogenesis! "Star Trek" continuity!
Emily: [whistling a tune, shimmying over to Mrs. Hashima] You know, maybe you shouldn't be so hard on Bridgette. She's really trying her best.

Olivia: [shocked] No! But how?! [Bridgette wipes her bangs, revealing her increased head; gasps in shock] Bitch took my pill! [runs over to her mother] Mom! She stole my pill and reverse engineered it! Do something!
Mrs. Hashima: Like what? It's about time Bridgette did something useful. [gets up from her seat and walks up on the stage]
Bridgette: [as her sister runs up and swipes the pill bottle out of her hand] Hey!
Olivia: [dumps out a pill from the bottle and swallows it and her brain gets a little bigger as she groans] I…understand! [quickly draws a hypothesis on the chalkboard] I did it! I proved the Riemann hypothesis, the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics!
