- [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.
- 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.
- 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?
