Maya: Lock picking. Norwegian Death Metal. And I can field-strip an M4 blindfolded.

Charlie: It means my dad works for The Guard.

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.

Charlie: Does that feel like tickle torture?

Argon: You’re right. You’re right. I went too far.


 

Charlie: Did Maya see that throw?
Jack: Are you kidding me? How could she miss it? It’s one of the greatest throws ever! My son’s a hero.
