Quotes 

• John : Six, Sam is coming with us.

  Number 6 : What? No way!

  John : He's one of us now. We need to find his father.

  [there is a slight pause] 

  Number 6 : [to Sam]  You slow us down, I'll shoot you myself.

  Sam : And I believe you. Can we go now?

• John : [Reaching for book]  What's this?

  Sarah : Umm... That is kind of private, actually.

  John : It's amazing!

  Sarah : Ok, that's enough.

  John : [Flipping through book]  What, you're allowed to look at everyone else, take our pictures, and we're not allowed to see you?

  [pause] 

  John : Seems like you want to run away.

  Sarah : Just be happy when I can get out of here.

  John : I don't know. Been to a lot of places...

  Sarah : You don't have to give me that "there's no place like home" speech. I've heard it.

  John : No, no. You can go wherever you want, see whatever you want to, but, um... a place is only as good as the people you know in it. I... I think this is a pretty good place.

• [after Mark James has introduced himself to John, and hassled Sam. John hands Sam his skateboard, which has skidded across the floor] 

  Sam : Thanks. Gotta love the classics: Homecoming king versus the science nerd. Just get better with time, don't they?

  John : Listen, Mark is...

  Sam : Soon to be irrelevant. He's in the third year of the best four years of his life.

  [opens John's locker for him, which John has been struggling to do, then walks away] 

• John : [trying to convince Henri to allow him to keep a dog]  Come on! Another pair of eyes and ears watching the house? I'm going to need somebody to talk to.

  Henri : Talk to me... yeah, keep the dog.

• Sam : Raided lost and found.

  [tosses him a gaudy sweater] 

  Sam : Nobody loses anything cool.

  John : You gotta be kidding me.

  Sam : Dude, it was that or the Hannah Montana sweatshirt. You got off easy.

• John : You have no idea of what I'm capable of.

• [last lines] 

  John : My planet is called Lorien, but Earth is my home now. It's as good a place as any in the universe. And that's how it's going to stay.

• Henri : [quizzing John on their cover story]  What's your name?

  John : John Smith.

  Henri : Where are you from?

  John : Toronto.

  Henri : Seem kinda tan for Toronto.

  John : Santa Fe, New Mexico. I know the drill, okay?

  Henri : [holding a cell phone]  Keep this on you, I'll call you every hour. You don't pick up, I'll know something's wrong.

  John : Every *hour*?

  Henri : That, or you can homeschool, and I'll be your teacher.

• [after throwing Mark to the ground] 

  John : I hope you can throw with your left arm.

• John : My hands light up like road flares, and you call that a gift?

• John : Fireproof?

  Number 6 : Told you to stay tuned.

• Sam : I came here to help you.

  John : You have. Now go home.

• John : This is the part I hate the most. The running.

• [Looking up at constellations] 

  Teen At Party : I love it out here. The Big Dipper. It's my favorite. Do you know that one?

  John : No. I got a D in Astronomy.

• John : Knock yourself out.
