[sets Danny free from the Fenton Weasel] Ghost kid, you gotta help me save my family. If you do, I'll set you free.
Um, you just did. [Jack smacks his forehead] [to himself] Good thing my dad's a lousy negotiator.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Watch out for that hacky- [gets splattered by hackysack] -sack. [to Danny Phantom] Just so you know, I don't enjoy helping you.
Then don't! I can handle these idiots, go save our family! I mean, yours...your family...not mine.
[to Vlad] I may be a goof, I may mess up, but when my family's in danger, the gloves are off! [notices he's wearing the Fenton Ghost Gloves] Well...technically they're on, but you get the idea!
Where are you going? School's this way.
The Circus Gothica train pulled into town last night - I'm cutting first period to watch the opening ceremony at the train station.
[reprimandingly] Sam...
Take it easy, Tucker's got first period free. He's covering for me!
[Scene changes to Tucker in Sam's clothes, putting on a wig and lipstick]
This is so wrong. [looks at money] But you make it right!
PIPrincipal Ishiyama
[To the Fentons and the Mansons] Some might call this little act of rebellion, "a cry for attention." But I call it, "a cry for detention!" Ha, ha, ha! Isn't that clever?
[angrily] Nice job, Danny! Maybe I should’ve cried, “Hey, it’s Inviso-Bill”!
I’m sorry! I don’t know what came over me back there...
[to Danny] Bad judgment, that’s what! Next time think before you act! [wrist ectoplasmic goo launcher accidentally misfires and splatters goo all over Sam’s parents]
Obviously, the apple doesn't fall far from the overbearing, orange jumpsuited tree!
You got a problem with jumpsuits?!
Jack, let me handle this... You got a problem with jumpsuits?!
[ignores them] Samantha... I forbid you from seeing this boy, or any of your other troubled friends.
My friends are perfectly normal!
[Lancer opens the door, and a still dressed-up Tucker walks in]
PIPrincipal Ishiyama
[stares for a moment, then facepalms] This is so wrong!
[the kids are serving detention with Mr. Lancer]
[looks at her Circus Gothica ticket] I wanted to experience something horrific and unimaginable. [looks up at Mr. Lancer clipping his toenails] This isn't what I had in mind.
[under mind control, Danny starts to walk out of detention and Mr. Lancer catches him]
And just where do you think you're going, Mr. Fenton?
[Danny smirks, then overshadows Mr. Lancer]
[as Lancer] Unleash your dark side at Circus Gothica! [walks to the janitor's closet, and locks Mr. Lancer in there]
Cask of Amontillado! [bangs on door] Let me out! Let me out!
Danny, what are you doing? We're in too much trouble as it is!
[mind controlled] No such thing as "too much trouble"! Unleash your dark side at Circus Gothica! [phases through wall]
[to Sam] Man, we better follow him!
[ironically] Oh, no! But that would mean skipping detention and going to the circus! [Tucker stares at her strangely] Hello, irony? [grabs Tucker and they leave]
[Danny, under Freakshow's control, cuts the wire Sam's standing on. She falls and screams. Seeing Sam in danger, Danny briefly regains his free will and rescues her]
[catching her breath] Danny! Don't scare me like that!
[going back under Freakshow's control] How should I scare you?
[Mr. and Mrs. Manson catch Sam and Tucker at Circus Gothica]
Sam?! Shouldn't you be in detention?
Um... Lancer let us out?
[cut to Mr. Lancer locked in the janitor's closet.]
Let me out!
How ironic is it that I'm stuck under house arrest while my parents go to a free Circus Gothica show?
Only slightly less ironic than the fact that they were right about it being evil?
[Sam sneaks out of her house, but is caught by her grandmother]
SSSam's Grandmother
And just where do you think you're going, dear?
You don't understand, Grandma; My friend is in trouble, and if I don't do something right away-!
SSSam's Grandmother
You know, I had a wild side when I was your age. [pulls out a photograph album]
[confused] Why are you showing me this?
SSSam's Grandmother
Who knows? Maybe I'm old and babbling... Or maybe you should sneak out and help your friend while I'm lost in my memories... [Sam smiles, kisses her forehead, and runs off] This is so wrong... [takes off her cardigan revealing one of Sam's shirts, and puts on a wig] But I dig it!
[Sam and Tucker are standing on a bridge with the Circus Gothica train passing beneath them.]
C'mon, we have to jump!
Are you crazy?! I can't jump!
And I can't abandon Danny! [they jump onto the train] Plus, I'll never hear the end of it if my parents learn they're right about him being evil.
MMr. Manson
We owe you Fentons a debt of gratitude, and an apology!
Save it for the big sale, Thriston! We need to bust out of this tent!
MMr. Manson
Leave it to us!
If it's one thing we Mansons know how to do, it's whip an angry mob of parents into a frenzy!
[scene cuts to the tent bursting from hundreds of people]
Well, it's the crystal ball, or your friend, Danny. Your choice! [almost falls off the train, then gets thrown off] I didn't mean that to be so literal! [screams as she falls]
Sam! No!
Sam? [finally comes to his senses] Sam!
[Danny dives after Sam, letting go of the crystal ball and catching Sam in his arms. The crystal ball hits the ground and breaks, permanently freeing Danny from its influence.]
[coming to] Danny! Are you okay?
I think so. It's all a blur. I did some bad stuff, didn't I?
[gently] Nothing you can't fix.
[Danny and the other ghosts turn on Freakshow.]
[nervously] Um, when I called you my minions, it was really a term of endearment. Like, "I love my minions". [smiles innocently]
