- Bruce Wayne: These people believe anything they can't explain is magic.
- Terry McGinnis: Naturally, you don't believe in that kind of thing.
- Bruce Wayne: Of course I do. I've seen it all. Demons, witch boys, immortals, zombies. But this thing... I don't know. It just feels so... high school.
- Batman: Okay, Casper. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you want Nelson, you have to go through me.
- Nelson Nash: Not for the stiff. What do you need to contact a dead guy for? Wouldn't you rather have a live one... Like me?
- [Girls move the Ouija board to "No"]
- Chelsea: The board has spoken, creep!
- [the girls laugh]
- Nelson Nash: Oh yeah?
- [Nelson kicks the board away]
- Nelson Nash: Well, now Nelson has spoken.
- Willie Watt: What are you saying? That I snuck out of Juvie and paid the school a visit?
- Terry McGinnis: In a way.
- Willie Watt: [Looks kind of surprised for a second and turns away] I don't know what you're talking about.
- Terry McGinnis: [sarcastically] I'm sure.
- [Throws the glass of water at Willie Watt and it stops in mid-air as Willie sees it coming towards him]
- Terry McGinnis: That incident at the pier. It left you with some kind of psychokinetic ability, didn't it?
- Willie Watt: A gift from my friend, the GoLeM.
- Terry McGinnis: [after Barbara has closed the school] You're a hero to my people.
- Barbara Gordon: You better be right about this one, kid.
- Guard: Face down, Watt! Hands behind your head! Now!
- [Willie uses his powers to throw a bulky object at them]
- Guard: Cuff him!
- [he uses his powers again to fight them off]
- Terry McGinnis: Willie, stop it now or they'll never let you out.
- Willie Watt: [using his powers to throw a table through the ceiling] You should have stayed out of it, Terry. It would have been better...
- [rising into the air to the hole]
- Willie Watt: ...for everybody.
- Willie Watt: You know what I learned in juvie, Batman? You don't kick a man when he's down.
- [using his powers, he pulls the Hamilton Hill High sign out of the school wall]
- Willie Watt: You crush him.
- Dana Tan: We're trying to find out who Garrison's girlfriend was before he died and give her the message.
- Terry McGinnis: But you said Blade was the last one in the shower?
- Dana Tan: Yeah. She saw it being written. Oh! You think the message was for Blade?
- Terry McGinnis: First, our so-called ghost tried to kill Nelson. Then it left a love message for Blade. Now, what connects them?
- Dana Tan: They're not connected. They broke up after the thing at the pier. Oh.
- Terry McGinnis: It all fits. The message, Nelson, the shop teacher, the coach. He hated them all. It's no ghost. It's Willie Watt.
- Matt McGinnis: [looking at old pictures of their dad] Hey, I remember this trip. It was great. You fell in that hornets' nest.
- Terry McGinnis: I remember it, too, but not as fondly as you.
- Matt McGinnis: Dad warned you to watch where you were going. He knew about that kind of stuff.
- Terry McGinnis: See? You do remember him. And he'll never be gone as long as you keep him alive in here...
- [touching Matt's head]
- Terry McGinnis: ...and in here.
- [indicating his heart]
- Terry McGinnis: Or is it here?
- Matt McGinnis: [laughing as he gets tickled] Hey!
- Terry McGinnis: Or here? Or here or here or here. Yeah, there he is. I got him. I got him.
- Willie Watt: It's not the worst place in the world, just kind of boring.
- Terry McGinnis: You've been hitting the weight machines.
- Willie Watt: It helps pass the time, and I found out that I like being strong.
- Terry McGinnis: I'll bet.
- Willie Watt: Besides, with good behavior, I'll be out in less than two months.
- Terry McGinnis: In time for the junior prom.
- Willie Watt: If they'll have the gym repaired in time.
- Terry McGinnis: How'd you know about that?
- Willie Watt: Someone from school told me.
- Terry McGinnis: Who?
- Willie Watt: What is this, McGinnis, 20 Questions?
- Terry McGinnis: The guard said no one ever comes to see you, or calls or writes.
- Bruce Wayne: [after Willie breaks out of juvie] What did you think was going to happen?
- Terry McGinnis: I don't know. I just had to be sure it was really him. I know, I know. I messed up.
- Bruce Wayne: [loading a tranq gun and tossing it over] One shot, and he'll be out for hours.
- Terry McGinnis: If he shows up.
- Bruce Wayne: Oh, he'll show. He's drawn to the school. It's an obsession.
- Bruce Wayne: Your area of expertise.
- Principal: If I close this school based on your hunch, and he doesn't show up, I'm going to have the school board looking over my shoulder for the rest of my career.
- Barbara Gordon: This is a court order. If you don't close the school, you'll have me looking over your shoulder in the county jail.
- Terry McGinnis: It wanted Nelson. It didn't care about the girls or me, until I tried to help him.
- Bruce Wayne: "It." So now even you believe it's a ghost.
- Terry McGinnis: Everybody else does. The guys have even started to dress like him. And some of the girls are wearing black as a sign of mourning.
- Bruce Wayne: You're not "everybody else."
- Guard: You're here to see Willie?
- Terry McGinnis: Yeah. Why?
- Guard: Nobody ever comes to visit Willie.
- Terry McGinnis: Not even his old man?
- Guard: No one. Not in all the time he's been here. Nobody calls. Nobody writes. It's creepy. But then again, so is Willie. Everyone here is a little afraid of him.
- Terry McGinnis: Afraid? Of Skinny Willie Watt?
- Willie Watt: I never understood why you liked to pick on the weaker kids, Nelson. Until now.
- Nelson Nash: It's not fair. You have powers. I don't stand a chance.
- Willie Watt: Okay. If that's how you want to play it. Mano a mano. No powers.
- [they brawl, with Willie eventually blocking a punch telekinetically]
- Willie Watt: Well, maybe just a little power.
- Bruce Wayne: Terry, enough. You should be down at the piers looking for smugglers. Not staking out your high school waiting for petty vandals.
- Batman: Just one more sweep. If I can catch this so-called ghost in the act, I can prove it's all a hoax.
- Bruce Wayne: You've already invested too much time in this.
- Batman: [seeing the electricity in the school going haywire] And it just paid off.
- Max: Isn't that just typical? A few strange unexplainable events, and right away, people start talking poltergeist.
- Blade: How else do you explain the mangled lounge furniture, and the shop teacher's hair?
- Max: The wind.
- Dana Tan: Well, a lot of people believe it was Garrison, come back from the dead to haunt us.
- Max: [pulling up his yearbook picture] That's him? Ooh la la.
- Dana Tan: Top athlete in three sports. Lead guitarist in a band.
- Blade: Not to mention drop-dead gorgeous. He can haunt my castle anytime.
- Blade: Willie, please.
- Willie Watt: Please what? You were interested in me when you thought I was a ghost.
- [as he leans in to kiss her, Batman stops him and tries to inject him]
- Willie Watt: Almost let down my defenses, and just for a kiss.
- Terry McGinnis: Everyone thinks you're a ghost. It's all they talk about.
- Willie Watt: I know. I'm the hero of the school, and that's not half of what I can do.
- Terry McGinnis: Then why not just bust out of here, do what you want?
- Willie Watt: 'Cause everybody would know. In two months, I'll be gone from here. I'll have all this power and a normal life. If you don't trip on me.
- Terry McGinnis: I know how to keep a secret.
- Willie Watt: You better. I know where you live.
- Terry McGinnis: Well, someone finally found a way to get to Coach Fitz.
- Blade: You know what they're saying, don't you? It's the work of the ghost, just like everything else that's been happening around here.
- Terry McGinnis: Ghost?
- Blade: The ghost of Garrison Jacobs, the kid who was killed when they built the east wing.
- Dana Tan: Where have you been the last two weeks, in a cave?
- Terry McGinnis: Uh...
