Strange Days at Blake Holsey High quotes

So, Josie has picked mercury - a metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is also easily combustible and in some circumstances -

-highly volitile. Excellent choice, Josie. What element did you choose, Corrine?

Corrine

Carbon.

Nature's drill bit.

Corrine

You know, diamonds are made of pure carbon.

Marshall?

Marshall

Huh?

When the stars exploded and formed all the elements on the periodic table, I don't thing there was one called "huh"? Try again, Marshall.

Marshall

Okay, I chose - [sticks two protons onto his model]

Helium.

Marshall

Yeah. It's fun to have at parties. Always a gas.

Lucas

Professor Z, you're not going to believe this-

Corrine

-something's happened to-

-Marshall?

Corrine

How did you know?

Well, let's just say seeing his atomic model floating above his desk was my first clue.

I don't want to alarm anyone unduly, but first the model was helium and Marshall was floating, correct? And now the model has become oxygen - and so has Marshall.

Corrine

And if Marshall's moving from helium to oxygen, he's moving up the periodic table.

Lucas

[to Marshall] Hey, maybe somewhere along the way, you'll turn into platinum. They gotta let you into the band if you become platinum.

Lucas, at the rate Marshall's going, he could end up here - uranium.

Marshall

(coughs) I smell like a swimming pool! What is happening to me?

I'm afraid you've become chlorine.

Marshall

What made that happen?

You did! I think we've made a connection between your feelings about your brother and your newly volitile relationship with the elements - [points at periodic table] -of the periodic table.

Marshall

We did...?

And I don't think it has anything to do with magnets or music, does it?

You must be sodium... I- I mean, Marshall's brother.

Lucas

I don't get it - how can the sponges be multiplying and so fast?

Not to mentioning maturing. If we can find their food source, we might find the answer.

My... heavens...

I suppose you want an explanation for this?

Is the truth going to please me?

... No.

Then don't tell me, just.. fix it. [sponge falls on her head] Quickly.

As an educator, as an administrator, as a woman who doesn't like finding things like this [gestures to a sponge on a plate] in her work space, I am angry and confused. Not only for myself, but also for children in my charge. No, you'll have your chance to talk. Now, Blake Holsey promises its student an environment that is conducive to learning, and the development of lifelong friendships, not a sogging invertebrate in every lunch bag! Now, you have examined this school time and again, but in light of this development, I demand you give me the results that you've been withholding!

Victor Pearson

I would like a briefing on Professor Zachery's experiments, the one filling the school with invertebrates.

Now-

Victor Pearson

He prattled on about phylogeny and students' educations, but I'm sure I don't need to remind you that unwanted attention of any kind would far outweigh whatever benefits this... experiment might yield! Am I clear?

... as crystal. I'll see to it myself.

Lucas

What if they're not really sponges? What if they're aliens and it's our job to save them?

Lucas

Just ignore me.

Marshall

Well, good news. I just got through to the aquarium.

And?

Marshall

They'll take three.

Lucas

I don't know about the sponges, but I want to leave.

Marshall

Maybe we need something even more annoying?

I've got Moe Austernach's Polka Time.

It was a gift.

Corrine

You're hot for Vaughn.

I am not!

Corrine

Yes, you are.

Okay, well, you have a thing for Marshall.

Corrine

No, I do not! Do I?

Billions of dollars of research going to make brainless conversation easier.

Professor Zachary! Is that... Lucas? Wh-what..? He's dressed like the Invisible Man!

I'm... doing a lesson on the science of H.G. Wells' stories...

Marshall

He's some kind of teacher, huh, Principal Durst?

I just wish I knew what kind...

Lucas

How do you feel?

Marshall

Surprisingly a little thirsty.
