Danielle Atron quotes from The Secret World of Alex Mack

Danielle Atron

Have a good night's sleep, kid, 'cause you won't have 'em any more. You slipped through my fingers for now, but tomorrow is another day.

Danielle Atron

Eighteen months we've been looking for that kid. That child shouldn't have been running loose for eighteen hours. If I'd been able to experiment on that kid, I'd have a Nobel Prize by now. I'd have... a trillion dollar patent by now. I'd be running for governor by now. But instead, what have I got? An ulcer! And I love spicy food.

Vince Carter

Miss Atron, this is a minor detail. We will find the child.

Danielle Atron

I cannot be implicated in the process.

Vince

It has nothing to do with you. You can't cloud your mind with mundane problems like, some kid who is sprayed with a little bit of a chemical.

Danielle

A little bit of chemical? That's not what that truck driver said.

Vince

Well, Dave has a tendency to... exaggerate.

Danielle

We do not have a problem?

Vince

We do not have a problem.

Danielle

I don't want to know about this kid.

Vince

What kid?

Danielle

Thank you, Vince.

Danielle Atron

We've come full circle, Vince. Kid came back to us.

Vince Carter

Obviously a desperate cry for help, Miss Atron.

Danielle

Once we've made a positive ID, how do we proceed?

Vince

Well, it could be traumatic for his family. But there are two ways to approach them in order to ensure their cooperation. One: kindness. Two: money.

Danielle

I find the latter usually the most effective.

Miss Atron, I think I should admit to you that... befriending people is not one of my uh... specialties. Uh, the problem is that... I don't like... them.

Danielle Atron

Who don't you like?

People. In general.

Danielle

So get yourself a dog.

Danielle Atron

Well, you've had quite a childhood thanks to me, now haven't you. Let's see what you can do. (Alex tries to use her powers to escape, but is unable to) You are magnificent, you really are. But I've gotta tell you, your timing is so bad. One more day and I wouldn't have given you another thought.

Alex Mack

(angrily) I want you to know I hate you.

Danielle

Aww, no you don't. You just think you do.

Alex

Why are you such a selfish, greedy, horrible person? Don't you care about anybody but yourself?

Danielle

Don't you read the newspapers, young lady? America is thrilled to have GC-161 entering their lives, and is America selfish? No! And besides, even if I did tell them that the product had a couple of side effects, they wouldn't care.

Alex

There's a lot of people who know about me! My friends, my sister! And if anything happens to me, they're gonna know it's you.

Danielle

Yeah... But you didn't tell anybody about the accident, now did you? Because if you had, I'm sure I would have been stopped a long time ago, but you didn't. I guess you and your sister had your own selfish reasons for keeping it to yourself.

Alex

I wish I had told them.
