Marshall quotes from Strange Days at Blake Holsey High

Marshall

First grade was the best five years of Stew's life.

Marshall

[preventing Lucas and Vaughn from fighting] Okay, guys, let's save it for Macho Olympics.

Marshall

Whoa, whoa, whoa... meanwhile, when we do this experiment with the kite, how do we avoid, oh, I don't know, being electrocuted?

If I didn't not see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be believe it...

Corrine

This is incredible!

Marshall

Yes, it is.

Lucas

No, it's not. Marshall's invisible and we don't know what this means. Besides, I don't want an invisible friend - people will think I'm crazy... er.

Corrine

This is impossible.

Marshall

I'm thinking being at Black Hole High and being that I am invisible, it may be... possible.

This is amazing... I love teaching here.

Marshall

And I love being invisible - for the first time, people are going to notice me.

Okay, Marshall, I know that this is probably very fun, but we do need to find a way to get you back. And until we do, I need you to stay here, okay? Promise me that.

He's gone, isn't it?

Corrine

Wai-wai-wait, my favourite Marshall story has to be the time he dressed up like Principal Durst for Halloween.

Lucas

Or remember the time his genetically engineered soap turned his skin green?

Or how about when he thought the unit of measure for energy was the Newton? Not the Joule, the Newton... [blank looks from the kids] I guess you had to be there.

Corrine

I really hope Marshall comes back.

Me too. I can't believe I freaked on him for stealing my journal. Okay, I freaked on everyone, but that's so not Marshall.

Corrine

Not a chance.

Lucas

No way.

Marshall

Yeah, Marshall's the best. You guys were talking about me - you miss me.

Corrine

Yeah, we do.

I think I speak for everyone when I say the novelty of having an invisible friend has worn off.

Marshall

Guys, it feels really good what you're saying and I feel that you really see me, but it's not working, I'm still fading. It doesn't make any sense.

Yes, it does. Think about it - you thought no one saw you, but they did. Now who here still doesn't see you?

Marshall

... Me. I didn't see me. I was the one who didn't see me all along.

Marshall, don't underestimate mind-over-matter.

Marshall

The truth is, I do see me. I see my good side, I see my bad side, I see all of me. You see me, I see me, I see my foot. I see my foot! Hands, arms, legs, body... I'm back! I'm back! I'm back. I'm back! I'M BACK!

Incredible... incredible, we have to find out more. Does anyone have any theories?

Marshall

Well, electricity can turn metal into a magnet.

Corrine

Yeah, so, why not a human?

Vaughn

What are you all talking about?

Lucas

It's called science. It's what we do here.

I know there's iron in everyone's system, I just didn't think there was enough to become magnetized.

Lucas

Five words, Professor Z: we're at Black Hole High.

Marshall

Actually, that's uh, that's six words, because "we're" is a contraction... of "we" and "are"...

Corrine

And since we're on top of a black hole, all the rules of science go out... the window.

Vaughn

Wh-what black hole?

Lucas

I thought she said she had a bad cold.

Corrine

Yeah, that's what I said.

We'll talk about it later, Vaughn.

Please tell me you had nothing to do with what happened upstairs.

Corrine

I had nothing to do with what happened upstairs.

Marshall

Don't look at me.

Lucas

I wasn't even near the place.

Vaughn

I was in my room.

Oh, so it's every man for himself, huh? No problem, I'm used to it.

Marshall

If you're really Lucas, what did we do last summer at science camp?

What didn't we do? We put dye in the pool so everyone's hair turned blue, we were the runner up in the robot wars competition and you dressed up like a girl and won the camp beauty contest.

Marshall

Hey! You swore you'd never tell anyone about that! Lucas?

Lucas

So how do we know which one is Josie?

Are you kidding me, Lucas, if you had half a brain you'd be dangerous!

Lucas

Ouch, that's definitely Josie.

Corrine

Maybe, she's like your identical twin?

But I don't have an identical twin.

Marshall

Maybe you've been cloned.

[looks at Marshall] Remember that half a brain comment I just made to Lucas? Well, I think I just found the other half.

Let's recap what I know.

Marshall

Well, I became invisible, Lucas aged sixty five years, Corrine lived the same day over and over, Josie and Vaughn went back in time.

Corrine

What we know is that the school has issues.

Lucas

I'm telling you it's all connected.

Okay. But how?

I don't know. But if we're listing the strange things at this school, don't forget about the black hole.

Corrine

Big memories are called islands of memories.

Vaughn

Like scoring the winning touchdown.

Marshall

Or winning your first science medal.

Lucas

Or your first pair of big-boy underwear.

Lucas

Like it wasn't big to you guys!

Marshall

And that is how Mendel used pea plants to explain demonstrate how traits are inherited when they reproduce.

Reproduce. How does that work?

Lucas

Reproduction. You know, the birds and the bees.

Explain it to me.

Marshall

There is no way I am giving him the talk. My dad had a hard enough time explaining it to me.
