Charlie: I like what you’ve not done with the place.
Jack: I’m going for that kind of single-dad short-term rental feel.
Jack: [referring to his phone call] Hey. Sorry that took so long.

Jack: I got to go. You have to believe me when I say it’s important.
Charlie: Yeah, I know. More important than me.
Jack: No, that’s not what I’m saying.
Jack: We’re going to sit down, and I’m going to explain things in a way that I hope that you’re going to understand what’s been happening.

Charlie: [over phone] You still there?
Berger: I love it when you call me “Mom”. Now, let’s throw a rager.
Charlie: Yeah, let’s throw a rager. Wait. What is a rager?
Maya: [to Charlie] Berger said I could borrow your notes for that stupid test tomorrow.

Berger: Do you realize what this means?
Charlie: It means my dad works for The Guard.
Berger: No.
Maya: Dude. It means your dad is The Guard.
Charlie: What?
Charlie: My dad is not The Guard. The Guard is like the greatest hero ever. My dad can’t handle hot wings. I’ve seen him without his shirt on. He can barely swim. My dad is not The Guard.
Maya: Somebody’s in denial.
Lizzie: Hey, guys. Does The Guard wear a fanny pack?
Irons: My own government tried to destroy me for asking questions. Why do you think that is?
Argon: Listen, I love that story. The uniform, the woods, the bad man who stole the orb, how you got your little boo-boo. I get it. Tell it to someone else.

Berger: Who?
Lizzie: An older guy, more my speed. You’re a little young for me.
Berger: But we’re the same age.

Lizzie: I can’t get arrested! I need to go to medical school!
Maya: Nice driving, Kincaid!
Charlie: Yeah, I play Mario Kart at a very high level!
Maya: It must be weird, huh? Knowing your dad has like a sci-fi man cave.
Charlie: Yeah, it is weird. Thanks for asking. It’s like we don’t even know each other. I thought he worked at a Genius Bar. And he thought I was a righty.
Irons: Everyone on alert here, okay?
Hawaii: Yeah, careful, this could be Freddy Krueger’s house.
Charlie: What are we going to do?
Berger: I have an idea. We hide until Charlie’s dad gets back and saves us. How long is he gone for again?
Charlie: He said he could be a couple of days.
Berger: A couple, as in two, or a couple as in ten minutes? Because the human body can survive three days without water.
Charlie: A couple literally means two.
Hawaii: I set up blockers around the house.
