Quotes 

• Principal Jenkins : You're next, Charles Wallace!

  [closes the door] 

  Principal Jenkins : Veronica Kiley's parents are on their way here. They're worried for their daughter's safety.

  Meg : Their daughter is mean!

  Principal Jenkins : You hit her in the face!

  [sits at his desk and pauses] 

  Principal Jenkins : You - you we're a top student. Top attitude. But, look at you now. You - you're aggressive, you're hostile, you shut everybody out, and then wonder why they don't like you.

  Meg : I don't wonder and I don't care!

  Principal Jenkins : Hmm. Well, maybe that's your problem!

  Meg : I don't have a problem!

  Principal Jenkins : You can't keep using your father's disappearance as an excuse to act out. What do you he think he'd say about all this? Seriously? If he walked through that door today, what would happen?

  Meg : The world would make sense again!

  Principal Jenkins : Listen, all I'm saying is... it's been four years. Odds are, he's not coming back.

  [Meg gets up from her chair and leaves the office] 

  Principal Jenkins : I did not excuse you, young lady. Meg!

  [cut to the Murry house] 

  Mrs. Murry : I want you to write an apology to Principal Jenkins.

  [Meg nods her head in fear] 

  Mrs. Murry : And one to Veronica.

  Meg : Mom! She called Charles Wallace crazy!

  Mrs. Murry : That's no excuse!

  [walks away] 

  Meg : Well, Dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in!

  Mrs. Murry : Don't use Dad like that. It's not fair!

  Meg : He's not coming back! Is he?

  Mrs. Murry : Don't give up hope, Meg-lin!

• Dr. Alex Murry : So, what if we are here for a reason? What if we are not just in the universe... but the universe is within all of us?

  Mrs. Murry : Think about quantum entanglement. Two electrons once bonded together, in love, if you will... suddenly separated by a galaxy... but somehow still just as connected. An unbroken union despite being galaxies apart.

  Dr. Alex Murry : And our most recent calculations show us that these fields connect us... to other dimensions. Dimensions outside of the limitations of space and time. Imagine that. Imagine... rather than enduring the oppressive rules of time and space, we could wrinkle it. 91 billion light-years traveled, like that.

  [snaps his fingers to denote the time and efforts in travelling so] 

  Dr. Alex Murry : And we don't need rockets. We don't need spaceships. We don't need anything. To utilize a tesseract... all you need is to tap into the right frequency. You just need your mind.

• Mrs. Murry : Listen, listen, listen. Look. Hear me out. So, in order to be great... it isn't enough just to be right. You have to actually be great. And we are. So, why can't we help the others along?
