Lauren Tom: Dana Tan

Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : Uh-oh, the GAT scores are in.

  Dana Tan : I don't even want to know what I got. Hey, Max, what's your ID?

  Max Gibson : The last prime number before my birth year.

  [after an awkward silence, she inputs her ID] 

  Terry McGinnis : 2400! You got a perfect score!

  Max Gibson : Yeah, well, it's just a number. Doesn't mean anything. Believe me, Terry, you're just as smart as I am.

  Dana Tan : Think so, huh? Let's see what he got.

  [inputting his ID] 

  Dana Tan : Incomplete? How do you get an incomplete on the GATs?

  Terry McGinnis : Some emergency. I had to leave before the test was over.

  Max Gibson : Sometimes I get the feeling you arrange for these "emergencies".

• Dana Tan : What's that?

  Max Gibson : The results of a compiler program I've written.

  Terry McGinnis : About Batman?

  Max Gibson : Yeah, I needed a hobby, and it beats macrame. I hacked my ID so that I can stay after hours to work on it. The program searches the grid for specific information about Batman.

  Dana Tan : He's between 5'6" and 6', between 16 and 36. How can he be that young if he's been around for so long?

  Max Gibson : I figure the guy that's been around lately is a brand-new Bat.

  Dana Tan : A lot of people would fit this description.

  Max Gibson : Maybe, but every day, another bit of data helps narrow it down. Eventually, I'll have the guy pegged.

  Terry McGinnis : If it is a guy.

  Max Gibson : He's a guy, and he's connected to our school. I'm sure of it.

  Dana Tan : He's, like, a teacher?

  Max Gibson : A teacher or a phys-ed coach, or even a student.

• Dana Tan : [after the Jokerz vandalize the school]  I hear they jolted all the vidscreens.

  Max Gibson : Jokerz. Stupid, random destruction.

  Terry McGinnis : Not so random. Look at the damage. They were picking their targets.

  Dana Tan : You're saying they're students here?

  Terry McGinnis : At least one of them is.

  Max Gibson : Maybe I can re-write my Batman search program to look for the students most likely to be Jokerz.

  Terry McGinnis : So you'd stop looking for Batman?

  Dana Tan : Are you sure you wanna do that?

  Max Gibson : [opening her locker, she manages to avoid a pie booby-trapped inside]  I am now.
