Quotes
-
Layla : What's embarrasing him in front of the entire class going to prove? That is so unfair.
Will Stronghold : Yeah, well if life were to suddenly get fair, I doubt it would happen in high school.
-
Warren Peace : To let true love remain unspoken is the quickest route to a heavy heart.
Layla : Wow, that is really deep!
Warren Peace : [reading off of a fortune cookie] Yeah. And your lucky numbers are... 4, 16, 5... and 49.
-
Warren Peace : Did you want me to heat that up for you?
Layla : We're not supposed to use our powers outside of school!
Warren Peace : I was just gonna stick it in the microwave.

[during Power Placement]
Coach Boomer : [to Layla] You, Flower child. Let's go.
Layla : I believe in only using my powers when the situation demands it.
Coach Boomer : Well, you're in luck: This is the situation, and I'm demanding it.
Layla : But to participate in this test would be to support a flawed system. I think the whole Hero-Sidekick dichotomy only serves to...
Coach Boomer : Let me get this straight. Are you refusing to show me your powers?
Layla : Well, it's more complicated than that. I mean...
Coach Boomer : [shouting loud enough for wind to blow into the students' faces] SIDEKICK!
[the bell rings]
Coach Boomer : All right, we'll pick it up right after lunch...
[staring at Will]
Coach Boomer : ... starting with you.
-
Layla : So, then there was this time in first grade. You know how you grow lima beans in school? Well, Will could not figure out why mine was growing so quickly, it was driving him crazy. So finally I took mercy on him and I told him about my powers! We've been best friends ever since.
Warren Peace : And falling for him, was that before or after the lima beans?
Layla : What? I am *not* in love with Will Strong... is it that obvious?
Warren Peace : Yeah.
-
Layla : Hi, Warren.
Warren Peace : Did I do or say anything last night to make you think this is okay?
Layla : Funny. No, but, seriously, you're never gonna believe what happened. I was about to ask Will to homecoming when, wouldn't you know it, I said I was going with you instead.
Warren Peace : I don't remember that being the plan.
-
Mr. Boy : Hey there, Layla. You look like you could use a drink.
Layla : No thanks.
Mr. Boy : Oh, don't worry. The bubbles are just ginger ale.
Lash : [knocks over Mr. Boy's drink] Oops.
[laughs]
Layla : The guys at this school are jerks!
Warren Peace : Thanks a lot.
Layla : I thought you weren't gonna rent a tux.
Warren Peace : It's my dad's. He doesn't have much use for it in solitary.
Layla : [tries to get off the subject that Warren's father is in prison by holding up a cheese cube] Cheese cube?
-
Royal Pain : [after throwing Will out the gym window] And there goes your last chance of stopping me!
Layla : [furiously] We'll see about that!
[runs towards Royal Pain, but Warren stops her]
Will Stronghold : [reappears flying] Surprised? So am I.
Royal Pain : You're flying?
[Will flies towards Royal Pain]
Royal Pain : That's impossible!
[Will lifts Royal Pain up and drops her on the ground. He then punches her helmet, destroying it]
-
Ethan : You're on! If Will beats you in Save The Citizen, you lay off the sidekicks for the rest of the year.
Zach : Yeah, and if he loses, you can dunk Ethan's head in the toilet every day until graduation.
Ethan : Yeah! Huh?
Lash : You got yourself a deal!
Will Stronghold : Wait, guys, guys! Come on, guys, are you crazy? No freshman ever won Save the Citizen, and those guys are undefeated!
Layla : And you barely know how to use your powers!
[pause]
Layla : Sorry... not helping.
Zach : Will, you have no choice. You can't let them dunk Ethan's head in the toilet. Not again.
[dead serious]
Zach : The dunking - must end.
-
Layla : Hey there, cutie! I was just thinking about you. I cannot wait until homecoming. I'm so excited. I finally...
[Layla pauses as she watches Will and Gwen walk away; Warren burns her hand]
Layla : ...OW!
Warren Peace : Never call me "Cutie."
-
Layla : [after getting punched in the face by Penny] Big mistake!
[Penny backs away slightly and then Layla uses her powers to grow vines in the cafeteria; the vines then grow over Penny and her clones and pull them up in the air]
Penny : But I thought you were a sidekick.
Layla : I am a sidekick.
Penny : Don't leave us here to die! Royal Pain sabotaged the anti-gravity device!
Penny : The whole school's gonna fall out of the sky!
Penny : We only have ten minutes!
-
Layla : [Zach, Ethan, Magenta, Warren, and Layla are crawling through a ventilator, escaping Royal Pain's trap] Where are we?
Ethan : Hey, Warren, how 'bout a torch?
Warren Peace : Only if you want to get barbecued.
[Zach glows, which illuminates the path they are crawling]
Zach : Ladies, if I may...
[takes the lead]
Magenta : [singing] Then all the reindeer loved him.
Ethan : Way to glow, Zach.
-
Layla : When life gives you lemons...
[tries to grow a lemon, but produces an apple instead]
Will Stronghold : Make apple juice?
Layla : I can't make lemons! I don't know what it is.
-
Layla : Now I know it's just our first day, but I already can't wait to graduate and start saving mankind... And womankind. And animalkind.
Will Stronghold : And the rainforest.
Layla : Of course!
-
Principal Powers : In a few moments, you will go through Power Placement and your own heroic journey will begin.
Will Stronghold : Power Placement?
Layla : Sounds fascist.
Ethan : Power Placement. It's how they decide where you go.
Magenta : The hero track or the loser track.
Will Stronghold : There - there's a loser track?
Ethan : I believe the preferred term is "Hero Support."
-
[Will lifts a lunch table with Warren Peace on top over his head]
Layla : He's strong!
Will Stronghold : [surprised] I'm strong?
Gwen : He's super strong!
-
Layla : You know how my mom can communicate with animals? Apparently they don't like being eaten.
-
Will Stronghold : [while sitting at lunch with his friends, he looks behind him and sees Warren Peace staring at him] Okay, am I crazy, or is that guy really looking at me?
Zach : Dude.
Will Stronghold : What?
Zach : That's Warren Peace
Layla : *That's* Warren Peace?
Zach : Yeah.
Layla : I've heard about him. His mom's a hero and his dad's a supervillain. Baron Battle.
Will Stronghold : So where do I come in?
Ethan : You're dad busted his dad. Quadruple life sentence.
Magenta : No chance of parole 'til after his third life.
Will Stronghold : [sighs] That's great. It's my first day at Sky High, and I already have an archenemy. Hmm. Is he still lookin'?
Layla : No.
Will Stronghold : No?
Layla : No.
Will Stronghold : [Will turns and sees Warren is still staring at him] I thought you said he wasn't looking.
-
Will Stronghold : [meeting up with Layla, Magenta, Zach, Ethan, and Warren at Sky High's homecoming, who have just escaped Royal Pain's trap] Guys, you're never gonna believe this. Gwen...
Layla : Is Royal Pain's daughter.
Will Stronghold : Yeah, and she...
Warren Peace : Stole the Pacifier.
Will Stronghold : Right.
Zach : Yeah, and she turned everybody into babies, including your parents.
Will Stronghold : Okay, that I didn't know.
Layla : I think this is even more than the great Will Stronghold can handle.
Will Stronghold : She's right. It's gonna take all of us.
Magenta : All of who? You and Warren? The rest of us are only sidekicks.
Will Stronghold : Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero. Sometimes it just makes you a jerk. Makes me a jerk. I guess what I'm trying to say is...
Layla : We get it. You've been a jerk.
Will Stronghold : Layla, in case my homecoming date ends up killing me tonight, I just want you to know...
[they kiss]
Penny : [suddenly appearing with Speed and Lash] Isn't that sweet? I hate sweet!
[Speed laughs]
Will Stronghold : You guys are a part of this, too? Why am I not surprised?
Warren Peace : Go take care of Gwen. We'll handle these clowns.
[Speed laughs]
Layla : Go.
[Will runs through a nearby wall]

Layla : [after defeating Royal Pain and Stitches, and getting all the Pacified babies out of the bus] Now what?
Will Stronghold : [to Layla] Beats me.
Mr. Medulla : [Warren and Zack gets a Pacified Mr Medulla, as a baby, out of the bus] Perhaps I could be of assistance. It should take me a couple of hours to reconfigure the Pacifier.
[to Warren]
Mr. Medulla : Mr Peace, would you please carry me to the Mad Science lab?
Warren Peace : [awkwardly] Sure.
Mr. Medulla : And Mr Peace?
Warren Peace : [even more awkwardly] Yeah?
Mr. Medulla : [closeup of Mr Medulla as a baby] Regrettably, I have made boom-boom.
[Baby Mr. Medulla smiles as Will, Layla and the other Sidekicks back away slowly]
