- Emma: Sorry, Byron. I'm not into that whole competitive thing anymore. It was a former life. I can't.
- [first lines]
- Emma: [at juice bar with her friends] Hi, Byron.
- Byron: I've schemed about talking to you, but maybe not right now.
- Cleo: It's okay, we won't listen.
- Byron: [sits down] Next week is the school swimming sports, and I really wanna beat Zane at the 100 meters, but... he always beats me.
- Emma: It's okay to come second.
- Byron: [shrugs] Oh, third or fourth, yeah, but I can't explain it. I've developed this need to win.
- Emma: [smiles] I know the feeling. Or, at least, I used to.
- [tosses her hair back]
- Byron: You were the big swimming star until you quit. Which, by the way, is quite a mystery to me. You're like this quality skateboard that's just sitting in the cupboard.
- Rikki: [folding arms] I've always thought of her the same way.
- [Cleo nudges her, and she shakes her head]
- Rikki: Sorry. Not listening.
