Greg Heffley: [smugly] You're way too smart for me Patty Ferrell...
Greg Heffley: We'll hide here for the rest of class because I'm not playing that game! It's not fair. He's got all the neanderthals on the same team. It's barbaric!
Angie Steadman: It's completely barbaric. This place is an intellectual wasteland. But it's nice to meet a person more interested in his mind than his body.
Rowley Jefferson: You girls get to jump rope. What are you doing hiding?
Angie Steadman: Avoiding the pain. It all starts in middle school, you know? You're not a kid anymore. The coddling has stopped. Kids are now separated by intelligence. The weak are picked on and girls that you've known since kindergarten won't even talk to you anymore.
Greg Heffley: Well, it sounds like you've got it all figured out so go back to your book.
[laughs]
Angie Steadman: This place is a glorified holding pen. It's where adults put you as you make that awkward transition between child and teenager so they don't even have to look at you.
[pauses]
Angie Steadman: Hi. I'm Angie.
Greg Heffley: [Pulls Rowley's hand away] Great Story! We're going to go now.
Rowley Jefferson: Why? This is a good spot.
Angie Steadman: It's a perfect spot. I survived all of the sixth grade here and I would enjoy some like-minded company to get me through the seventh.
Greg Heffley: Is that the whistle? I think I hear the whistle.
[laughs]
Greg Heffley: We need to go!
