• [from trailer] 

  Jack : Be the hero of your own life story.

  Alex Rover : Don't hand me that line - I wrote that line!

• Alex Rover : Beautiful ocean, isn't it just great?

  Alexandra Rover : [immitating Alex's Scottish accent]  No, it isn't just grrreat.

• Jack : You got so much of your mother in you, you know that?

  Nim Rusoe : That's a good thing, right?

  Jack : Yeah, good. Sure. Unfortunately I could never win a fight with her, either.

• [from trailer] 

  Jack : What are you afraid of?

  Alex Rover : Everything!

• Alex Rover : What are these?

  Alexandra Rover : Airsick pills.

  Alex Rover : Don't they make you drowsy?

  Alexandra Rover : Drowsy?

  [cut to Alexandra snoring] 

• Alex Rover : Must be the hero of my own life story. Where are you taking me?

  Evil Captor : A special hole, just for you, Alex Rover. Ever heard of the Pit of Spiders?

  [laughs] 

  Alex Rover : "Pit of Spiders", huh? Well, I guess that answers the "how will I die" question.

• Jack : No parties while I'm gone!

• Alex Rover : I'm sorry. I wish I could come but... I'm borderline agoraphobic. I haven't even left my apartment in 16 weeks.

  Nim Rusoe : [responding to e-mail]  What are you talking about? You're one of the greatest adventurers who ever lived. You're Alex Rover!

  Alexandra Rover : But I'm not 'that' Alex Rover.

• Alexandra Rover : Dear Nim, the most important thing for a cut is to make sure that it's kept clean and dry.

  Alex Rover : In the Cook Islands, they use a stem of a Simarouba plant to keep out infection.

  Nim Rusoe : [looks at a photo]  Hmm. Simarouba.

  Alex Rover : P.S. Are you all right, Nim?

• Alexandra Rover : [reading an e-mail]  "Yes. I'm all alone. I'm 11, and my father's gone. He's lost at sea. And my leg is swollen and bleeding. And the Buccaneers are coming to take over the island. Nim."

  [replying] 

  Alexandra Rover : What can I possibly do, Nim?

  Alex Rover : What can I possibly do, Nim?

  Nim Rusoe : [types the 4 letters C, O, M, and E]  Come.

• Alexandra Rover : Dear Nim, are you Jack's research associate? Jack wrote of a volcano where you live. Are you familiar with it? Sincerely, Alex Rover. Send.

  Alex Rover : What are you doing, Alexandra?

  Alexandra Rover : Research. Go. Go. Go away. Leave me alone.

  Alex Rover : You don't mean that. You love me.

  Alexandra Rover : And what makes you so sure of that, huh?

  Alex Rover : Because the whole world loves Alex Rover.

  Alexandra Rover : Really? I know "Translated in 21 different languages." No pressure, no pressure, no pressure.

• Alex Rover : You've been writing chapter 8 for three months now. So either sacrifice me to the damn volcano or let me find my escape already. Hey! It's time to finish the book!

  Alexandra Rover : Shh! I'm thinking.

  Alex Rover : Yeah. You're thinking. You're thinking. That's the problem. You've gotta get out of your head and into your body.

  Alexandra Rover : Hey. That's it. Kinka.

  Alex Rover : Kinka?
