Stefan Brogren: Archie 'Snake' Simpson

Quotes 

• Archie 'Snake' Simpson : [to Emma]  So, Em! What are your plans for the big weekend? Got any hot dates?

  Emma Nelson : No, Mr. Simpson.

  Christine 'Spike' Nelson : Emma's been working really hard on her science fair project.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Oh, great. Uh, what's it on again?

  Emma Nelson : The effect of healthy breakfast on school performance. The better you eat, the better you perform.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : That's very impressive.

  Emma Nelson : Thanks, Mr. Simpson.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Emma... um, Mr. Simpson is fine for school, but when we're here, I'd like it if you called me Archie.

  Emma Nelson : Would you pass the kung pow, Mr. Simpson?

• Archie 'Snake' Simpson : [to Emma]  So, how's the project?

  Emma Nelson : How does it look? A disaster.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : What's the matter?

  Emma Nelson : JT and Spinner are the matter. My hypothesis fell apart.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : You know, Einstein said that imagination is more key than knowledge. Maybe you need to get a little creative. Look at things from another angle.

  Emma Nelson : Gee, that's helpful. How handy it is to have you right here in my house.

• Liberty Van Zandt : [as she shows Mr. Simpson her science project]  Hour 147, notice a lack of green on the fern. Hour 148, even the cactus is beginning to dry out. Hour 140...

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Thank you, Liberty. That'll do.

  Liberty Van Zandt : But there's 52 more hours.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Oh, I'm sure there are. If only we had enough time.

• Emma Nelson : [to Mr. Simpson]  Kids are talking that I won the award because of favoritism.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : What?

  Emma Nelson : Well, it's true. When guys like you date single moms, they always try to bribe the kids.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Guys like me? We need to discuss this later.

  Emma Nelson : No, we're going to discuss this now.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Emma, class is about to start.

  Emma Nelson : I don't care. You're biased. Just admit it, Archie!

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Emma, you won the award on your own merits. The runner-up, Liberty Van Zandt, made a strong effort, but the judges thought it lacked flair. Yours was exciting and original.

  Emma Nelson : Original, exciting. Of course that's what you're going to say.

  Archie 'Snake' Simpson : Because it's the truth! And I'm not the only one who felt that way. Look at the judging sheets.
