- Kevin Levin: Dude, I don't know if I can pound your grandma!
- Spidermonkey: That's okay. We're teaching her to mind her "mana." Ah-ah-oo-oo!
- Verdona Tennyson: [chuckling] Good one, Ben.
- Kevin Levin: Was not.
- Gwen Tennyson: I have to find a bathroom.
- Kevin Levin: Lots of trees around.
- Ben Tennyson: Real debonair, Kevin.
- Human Verdona: This little world would be a lot more tolerable without trouble-making imps like you getting in my way.
- Gwen Tennyson: I met Grandma Verdona today.
- Frank Tennyson: I was afraid this day might come, but you never showed any signs of having powers. Your mother and I thought we were in the clear.
- Gwen Tennyson: Magic runs in the family? I knew it.
- Frank Tennyson: Honey, there really is no such thing as magic. Your grandma's an alien.
- Human Verdona: You always could tell when I was watching, baby. I had hoped it meant you had the spark, but no such luck.
- Human Verdona: Anodytes are a race of free spirits with powers that humans can barely comprehend. Now, we don't often mess in the affairs of just plain folks, but I fell deeply in love with Max Tennyson.
- Kevin Levin: And ditched him?
- Human Verdona: No. It's just that, after the kids were grown and out of the house, I needed to reconnect with my Anodyte heritage, and Max was busy saving the universe with the Plumbers.
- Frank Tennyson: Dad thought you didn't know about that.
- Human Verdona: Yes, he didn't want me to worry. Sweet man. We had many good years, but we grew apart. Even a fellow loaded with as much mana as Max is still just a physical being.
