Emma : Craig! What are you doing right now?
Craig : I'm going to art class.
Emma : Do you really wanna go?
Craig : Instead of...?
Emma : Finding my father. I've got his address.
[Craig looks uncertain]
Emma : Sean won't go. Manny's mom would kill her if she skipped.
Craig : Oh, yeah, and what do you think Joey's gonna do to me?
Emma : I can't go alone.
Craig : But... why me? I mean, you could ask JT... or Toby.
Emma : Because I thought you'd understand. With your dad and all.
[Craig smiles]
Craig : So, what are we waiting for?

Daphne Hatzilakos : [as she takes attendance] Emma Simpson.
Emma : You mean Emma Nelson?
Daphne Hatzilakos : Oh. I have you down as Simpson.
Emma : That's a mistake.
Daphne Hatzilakos : Okay.
Emma : I mean, just because Mr. Simpson married my mom doesn't mean I automatically took his name. She didn't even do that.
Daphne Hatzilakos : O... kay.
Emma : I mean, hello? Feminism?

Emma : [to Snake] Did you change my name at school?
Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Pardon me?
Emma : Today during attendance, Ms. Hatzilakos said "Emma Simpson."
Christine 'Spike' Nelson : I'm sure it was a mistake, Em. The office probably just got confused.
Emma : How? Unless Snake said something.
Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Uh, no. The new secretary does know you're my daughter.
Emma : But I'm not your daughter.
Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Em, what's going on?
Emma : I'm his stepdaughter. I only have one dad, and he's not here.

Christine 'Spike' Nelson : [to Emma about her biological father] He's had nothing to do with you for ten years.
Emma : Eleven. And a lot can change in eleven years.
Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Where are you going with this?
Emma : I don't know. I just thought it might be nice to actually know who he is or where?
Christine 'Spike' Nelson : No. I'm sorry, but no. That's not going to happen.
