[Zoey and Alia have just discovered that Arnold is actually Sam, who Alia has previously been instructed to kill]
Zoey : You know, Lothos is not too pleased with your prior performance concerning Dr. Beckett.
Alia : Well, then why the hell did he send me here?
Zoey : Seems to be as much of a surprise to Lothos as it is to us.
Alia : He's supposed to know everything.
Zoey : He does. Dr. Beckett's appearances follow the random event theory. It's just a fantastic stroke of luck - or maybe a little test to see if you've improved.
Alia : Just tell me my mission.
Zoey : Oh. Don't tell me, after all you've been through, that you still...
Alia : Just tell me. I'm supposed to kill him, right? I'm supposed to blow his brains out?
Zoey : 'fraid not, darling. Seems you weren't too successful with the gun last time. Perhaps a grenade or a flamethrower?
Alia : Zoey, just tell me!
Zoey : Lothos hasn't decided. But whatever happens, Beckett must not know that you're here, so you may not touch him. Pity.

[Sam and Alia are meeting in the library, both unaware of who the other is]
Alia : I'm sorry Mike was such a jerk today.
Sam : Oh, it's not your fault.
Alia : Most of the time he's really sweet. He only acts macho when it comes to his fraternity.
Sam : Macho?
Alia : Yeah, I learned it last summer in Spain. It means manly, masculine, *macho*.
Sam : Yeah, well, he sure likes acting macho when he's out chicken racing with his buddies, doesn't he?
Alia : Yeah, you're not kidding.
Sam : Have you ever tried to talk him out of it?
Alia : He doesn't listen to me. I'm just his girl.
Sam : Oh, yeah, right. It's the '50s.
[Alia gives Sam a puzzled expression]
Sam : I mean, I've got this feeling that s-, that someday, men are gonna be much more receptive to the way women think.

[the morning after "Arnold" enraged the Chi Kappas and Alia has discovered who he really is]
Mike : What's wrong with you?
Alia : Nothing.
Mike : Where'd you disappear to last night? I tried to call you.
Alia : I had a study date, or did you forget?
Mike : No, I didn't forget. But that was before your date tried to break up our initiation.
Alia : I know. I was there. It was hilarious watching you all plowing through the bushes looking for him, with Arnold safely curled up in my backseat.
[Mike grabs Alia]
Alia : Get your hands off me.
Mike : This is me, baby. Mike. Your guy.
Alia : My ex-guy.
Mike : Don't tell me you're hot for that wimp.
Alia : Oh, you'd be amazed, Mike. A man's performance on the basketball court has nothing to do with his performance in bed.

Mike : Congratulations, stud.
Sam : What did I do now?
Mike : I don't know. I don't know, Arnold. Just what did you do?
Sam : Nothing.
Mike : Right.
Alia : Don't be so modest, Arnie.
Mike : Arnie?
Sam : Arnie?
Alia : I'm not ashamed of what we did.
Mike : Oh, that does it. I want you, dweebo, today at the quarry!
Sam : Just wait a minute...
Mike : And bring your wheels!
Sam : If you wanna commit suicide, that's your problem.
Alia : That's not what you said last night.
Sam : What?
Alia : You said that Mike and his friends were just playing a bunch of crazy kids' games, that they had no idea what real danger was like.
Mike : I'll show you danger. The quarry, an hour!
[Mike storms out of the library]
Sam : Dawn, what's going on?
[Sam grabs Alia, allowing the two leapers to see each others' true forms]
Sam : My god... Alia?
Alia : I don't have a choice, Sam.
