• Jude Harrison : If I don't win I'm gonna look like such a dork at school tomorrow.

  Jamie : On the plus side most people already think we're dorks.

  Jude Harrison : Thanks, Jamie.

• Jude Harrison : [voiceover]  I wrote my first song when I was six. Got my first acoustic when I was ten and it has barely left my hands since. Everything I am, everything I've worked for has brought me to this stage tonight. Sometimes if you listen really hard you can almost hear it, the moment your life changes... forever.

• [Tommy and Jude are in the tabloids] 

  Kat Benton : So, no truth to this story, right?

  Jude Harrison : No, I'd tell you.

  Kat Benton : Too bad, 'cause you and Tommy look *so* cute together.

  Jude Harrison : Do you think so?

  Kat Benton : Oh, my God.

  Jude Harrison : Shut up.

  Kat Benton : Oh. My. God.

  Jude Harrison : Kat, I cannot like this guy. He's from a '90s boy band.

  Kat Benton : The man is like an Orlando Bloom sundae smothered in Johnny Depp sauce.

  Jude Harrison : Yeah, I know. But it's more than that, Kat. I mean, he teaches me stuff. I make *great* music with him. And at the lake... at the lake, there was this moment. I don't know; maybe I just imagined it.

  Kat Benton : Yeah, but what if you didn't?

• [the school band is playing Jude's song] 

  Kat Benton : Is that your song?

  Jude Harrison : [Jude is horrified]  Kat, they're playing my song with *tubas*!

• [Tommy is waiting for Jude, listening to the school band playing her song] 

  Jude Harrison : What are you doing here?

  Tommy Quincy : Rescuing you.

  Jude Harrison : What?

  Tommy Quincy : [re: the band]  That was great, by the way. Love the tubas.

• [Jude and Tommy are working on her song] 

  Tommy Quincy : Do you do everything in such a hurry?

  Jude Harrison : Just my music. I'm on a timeline. Kurt Cobain made "Nevermind" when he was twenty-three. I'm fifteen. That leaves me only eight years to create my masterpiece.

  Tommy Quincy : [slightly sarcastic]  I guess that leaves me just a year then.
