- Louis Stevens: [Louis arrives late to a meeting with politician Eileen's new image consultant] Hey, guys, what'd I miss?
- Eileen Stevens: What did you do to your hair?
- Louis Stevens: [his hair is full of leaves and tiny branches] My hair... Isn't it cool? It's my Science Fair project. I planted seeds and now I'm growing vegetables. Look right here, look, look, look: this is radishes, this row, right, and this is carrots.
- Louis Stevens: [he turns to the image consultant] You like sweet potatoes?
- Steve Stevens: Louis! You are not walking around with a vegetable garden on your head while your mother is running for Secretary of State.
- Louis Stevens: Ma, come on. You're a good kid. You are. Now, you messed up. But it happens! All right?
- Ren Stevens: What are you making?
- Louis Stevens: It's called the Eco-Bot 2000.
- Ren Stevens: Oh! What does it do?
- Louis Stevens: Well, I don't know yet, but it's got the coolest name!
- Ren Stevens: I can't believe Louis is working so hard! I actually think he's got his act together. Now, if I say that enough, maybe I'll start to believe it.
- Donnie Stevens: Hey, Nelson... Why do you want to learn how to fight?
- Nelson Minkler: Well, because my mouth keeps writing checks my fists can't cash.
- Donnie Stevens: What?
- Nelson Minkler: I'm a hothead. Literally. Feel my head.
- Donnie Stevens: Being tough is ninety percent attitude.
- Ren Stevens: What's the other ten percent?
- Donnie Stevens: Oh, gettin' your butt kicked.
