Annie Mack quotes from The Secret World of Alex Mack

Annie Mack

Wow. Tough first day?

Alex Mack

(fretfully) Hey, Annie. I was coming home from school when this plant truck swerved, almost hitting me, and crashed (claps her hands) BAM! Right into a hydrant! Then this barrel of gold stuff spilled all over me.

Annie

Hmm... You're not clever enough to make this up.

Alex

And just now, without even doing anything (hesitates) I think I turned on the saw and the electric train set.

Annie

What?!

Annie Mack

I get the feeling that this was not some minor accident. Those plant security guys are out there, so this has got to be something big!

Alex Mack

It wasn't my fault!

Ray Alvarado

They'll blame you! Adults always do.

Annie

He's right.

Alex Mack

I'm really worried, Annie. The plant won't stop until they find me.

Annie Mack

Between my brains and your powers, that won't be too easy. Everything has changed, Alex. You were just this average kid, heading for this life of inconsequence and boredom, and now look at you.

Alex

(cheering up) I can tell you one thing. My second day of Junior High is going to be a lot different from my first.

Annie

(about to leave) Don't destroy the house, okay?

Alex

Come on, Annie. I'm just having a friend over to watch some videos. Can't you ever trust me? Besides, when have I ever destroyed the house?

Annie

There's a first time for everything.

Alex

I mean, I'm fourteen, Annie. It's time for me to live my life. I want my own comic book.

Annie

Would you stay completely still, please?

Alex

Sorry. I'm sick of being your guinea pig, Annie.

Annie

Uh-huh. Look, just stay quiet and do what you're told, okay? Lab animals are so much easier: talking, questioning.

Alex

You never even listen, do you, when I talk to you?

Annie

Huh, what'd you say?
