- JT: Aw, did Emmy pee her pants?
- Emma: No, I just got my period, for the first time.
- [Toby drops his pen and Sean has a shocked look on his face]
- Emma: Menstruation. You may have heard of it. It happens to, oh, 50 percent of the population. Perfectly natural. Nothing to be ashamed of, right, Ms. Kwan?
- Ms. Laura Kwan: Absolutely right, Emma.
- Emma: [referring to her book report] Now, can we continue?
- Christine 'Spike' Nelson: [as Emma is watching a sad TV show and crying while eating chips] Em, those shows are designed to upset people.
- Emma: It's just we're so small and the universe is so massive. We're just little specs, floating, alone.
- Paige Michalchuk: [after seeing Emma's skirt soaked with blood from her period] Uh-oh. Your friend came to visit. Hun, you don't wear light colors when you're getting your period.
- Emma: I didn't know. It's my first time, okay? Just leave me alone.
- [goes into the bathroom stall and Paige goes into the other stall]
- Paige Michalchuk: [as she opens up her purse] I've got a pad, if you need it. I mean, you could get one from the office, but, that's kind of a drag.
- Emma: Ew. Imagine. "Mr. Raditch, could I have a maxi pad?"
- Manny Santos: [after Emma gets her first period at school] We should celebrate.
- Emma: Celebrate what exactly?
- Manny Santos: Becoming a woman. Em, you can get pregnant now.
- Emma: Oh, great. Can we celebrate by finding me a washroom?
- Paige Michalchuk: [to Emma] Hey, you'll get boobs now.
- Emma: Like I want boobs.
- Paige Michalchuk: You might at some point. They're actually really great.
- Rude Man: [at the mall commenting on Spike and Emma's ice cream cones] Ooph, look-a-lick at that.
- Christine 'Spike' Nelson: [she and Emma turn around in curiosity] Excuse me?
- Rude Man: [tells the joke and then smiles] I'd like a lick at your cone. Sue me.
- Christine 'Spike' Nelson: I probably would be because I don't think that's what you meant.
- Emma: Mom.
- Christine 'Spike' Nelson: Guess what? You don't talk to them like that, especially young woman.
- Rude Man: It was a joke. I was just kidding.
- Christine 'Spike' Nelson: My daughter and I came here to shop, not to be harassed by some pig, as a form of a comedian. When you talk to them like that, it's scary. It makes us feel bad. Don't do it again.
