Alex Rover : Must be the hero of my own life story. Where are you taking me?
Evil Captor : A special hole, just for you, Alex Rover. Ever heard of the Pit of Spiders?
[laughs]
Alex Rover : "Pit of Spiders", huh? Well, I guess that answers the "how will I die" question.
-
Jack : No parties while I'm gone!
-
Alex Rover : I'm sorry. I wish I could come but... I'm borderline agoraphobic. I haven't even left my apartment in 16 weeks.
Nim Rusoe : [responding to e-mail] What are you talking about? You're one of the greatest adventurers who ever lived. You're Alex Rover!
Alexandra Rover : But I'm not 'that' Alex Rover.

Alexandra Rover : Dear Nim, the most important thing for a cut is to make sure that it's kept clean and dry.
Alex Rover : In the Cook Islands, they use a stem of a Simarouba plant to keep out infection.
Nim Rusoe : [looks at a photo] Hmm. Simarouba.
Alex Rover : P.S. Are you all right, Nim?
-
Alexandra Rover : [reading an e-mail] "Yes. I'm all alone. I'm 11, and my father's gone. He's lost at sea. And my leg is swollen and bleeding. And the Buccaneers are coming to take over the island. Nim."
[replying]
Alexandra Rover : What can I possibly do, Nim?
Alex Rover : What can I possibly do, Nim?
Nim Rusoe : [types the 4 letters C, O, M, and E] Come.

Alexandra Rover : Dear Nim, are you Jack's research associate? Jack wrote of a volcano where you live. Are you familiar with it? Sincerely, Alex Rover. Send.
Alex Rover : What are you doing, Alexandra?
Alexandra Rover : Research. Go. Go. Go away. Leave me alone.
Alex Rover : You don't mean that. You love me.
Alexandra Rover : And what makes you so sure of that, huh?
Alex Rover : Because the whole world loves Alex Rover.
Alexandra Rover : Really? I know "Translated in 21 different languages." No pressure, no pressure, no pressure.

Alex Rover : You've been writing chapter 8 for three months now. So either sacrifice me to the damn volcano or let me find my escape already. Hey! It's time to finish the book!
Alexandra Rover : Shh! I'm thinking.
Alex Rover : Yeah. You're thinking. You're thinking. That's the problem. You've gotta get out of your head and into your body.
Alexandra Rover : Hey. That's it. Kinka.
Alex Rover : Kinka?
