- Emma Nelson: [after Rick gets a bucket of yellow paint and feathers dumped on him after Degrassi wins the quiz competition] Rick! Rick, what happened, it only makes the people that did it look totally juvenile.
- Rick Murray: They ruined it, Emma. They're life ruiners. Everyone laughing.
- Emma Nelson: But nobody's ever gonna forget who won. Who is the smartest guy in the whole school in the whole city.
- [Rick grabs Emma and starts kissing her]
- Emma Nelson: Rick! What are you doing? Let go!
- Rick Murray: I thought you loved me!
- Emma Nelson: I felt sorry for you. I pitied you. Get a clue!
- Archie 'Snake' Simpson: [to Jimmy] Quick. World's three longest rivers in order.
- Jimmy Brooks: Uh, okay. The Nile, Amazon and the Yangtze?
- Archie 'Snake' Simpson: Most NBA championships?
- Jimmy Brooks: Boston Celtics. Why?
- Archie 'Snake' Simpson: Well, we've got geography and sports covered. Rick, meet your new teammate.
- Rick Murray: What?
- Archie 'Snake' Simpson: Heather Sinclair just came down with mono. Her loss is Jimmy's gain. Welcome to "Whack Your Brain."
- Emma Nelson: [to Rick and Toby] Hey, guys. I made flashcards. You want me to quiz them by category or should I shuffle?
- Rick Murray: I'm quitting.
- Emma Nelson: Rick! The finals are tomorrow.
- Rick Murray: We have a new teammate, Jimmy Brooks, a.k.a. my daily tormenter.
- Toby Isaacs: I told you, man. Just go to Simpson. Just ask him for a re-think on his decision.
- Rick Murray: If Jimmy's booted, he'll know it's me.
- Emma Nelson: Jimmy and them. They don't like you 'cause they don't know you.
- Rick Murray: So?
- Emma Nelson: So you came back to Degrassi to show you changed, right? So work with Jimmy on the team. Show him you're not the guy he thinks you are.
- Rick Murray: Think they want to know who I am?
- [points to some notes left on his locker]
- Rick Murray: They want to torture me.
- Emma Nelson: [rips the pieces of paper off Rick's locker] Rick, we need you on the team, so you need to do something.
- Rick Murray: Mr. Raditch, sir. I require a kind of favor. Um, it's concerning a member of the "Whack Your Brain" team.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Do I look like I have time for a chat, Richard? Your point?
- Rick Murray: He's harassing me, sir.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: Harassing how?
- Rick Murray: Well, he doesn't like me and he has no problems expressing it.
- Principal Daniel Raditch: So are you asking me to order this student to like you? Do you really think that will resolve matters? Richard, I've told you time and time again. It takes two to tango.
- Rick Murray: Sir...
- Principal Daniel Raditch: You don't like him and he doesn't like you, so I suggest you try harder to get along. Come back if anything serious happens. That is all.
