Bea: Sorry, Chester. I didn't mean it like that...
Chester: It's all right.
Daniel & Lisa: AAAAAAAA!!!! Monster!

Chester: They should try for the track team. I've never seen anyone that small run that fast.
Bea: Was that a bad thing to do?
Chester: No, it wasn't. They started it. I heard what he said. - Who's your friend?
Bea: This is Eva. Eva, this is Chester. He's a friend.
Eva: Are you sure?
Chester: Don't worry. I'm very nice to nice people. The likes of those two, on the other hand...

Eva: Bea, were you lying?
Bea: About my family? No. Kitty's grandma told her and then Kitty told me last night.
Chester: So, you're as good as it gets. I've always wanted to see one like you.
Bea: Why? I'm still just me. Who cares about that stuff? I just said it, because I wanted to make Daniel shut up.
Chester: I understand. Still, you are on the opposite end of the scale compared to me. I'm glad to see that you are quite nice and normal in spite of that.

Lenore: Chester. I should have guessed.
Chester: What do you mean?
Lenore: Daniel and Lisa ran inside, telling about a monster. What did you do?
Chester: Nothing. I just stood there and smiled.
Lenore: Smiled. I see. Well, I can't prevent you coming here to pick Miriam up, but I'd appreciate it, if you tried not to scare the other children.
Bea: I wasn't scared.
Eva: Me neither.

Kitty: Bea, I'm sorry I'm late... Oh, hi Chester. Lenore, is something wrong?
Chester: Hi Kitty. You just missed all the fun.
Lenore: Chester, I knew you did it on purpose.
Kitty: Did what?
Chester: I'm sure Bea will explain.
Lenore: I need to go now, but Chester, remember what I said.
Chester: I'll be good, teacher. I promise.

Miriam: Chester, where's mom?
Chester: She's still at work, so she asked me to pick you up. - Kitty, this is my sister Miriam.
Kitty: Sister?
Chester: If you're wondering how she can be so cute, it's because she's adopted.

Kitty: I see. It's very nice to meet you Miriam. Do you already know Bea?
Miriam: We have some classes together.
Kitty: Maybe you could come and visit us sometime with Chester.
Bea: That would be nice. We could ask Eva too. And Henry.
Miriam: Henry?
Chester: Bea means uncle Henry. Bea likes stories just as much as you do.

Later:
Kitty: She didn't do it to be mean. I think she just got sick of his constant nasty comments.
Riddick: And you gave her the perfect weapon.
Kitty: I guess so. I just thought she had the right to know. It is a big deal with our kind. Remember what I said about connections? She won't need to worry about those. A bigger worry may be how to find out who's a real friend and who just wants to be associated with someone like her.
Riddick: Well, at least there's Eva. She liked Bea long before this came out.

Riddick: So, was that pedigree thing the problem all those years ago?
Kitty: Yes. Grandma was too common. The family shut grandfather out after the marriage. He didn't care and went on to make a fortune by himself while his family couldn't even keep what the previous generations had collected. So, Bea has a pedigree, but there's nothing to inherit, and I'm a half-breed looking forward to inheriting a fortune.

Riddick: Do the people in your community have time for anything else than keeping track of who is acceptable and who isn't and the reasons why?
Kitty: It is kind of boring, isn't it? And it's a battle they're bound to lose. - That brings me to the next subject.
Riddick: Which is?
Kitty: You know how Henry always talks about letting nature run its course? Well, it seems that nature's course is a bit different from our plans.

Riddick: Do you mean what I think you mean?
Kitty: Yes. There's a little Riddick on the way. - Are you really saying you hadn't noticed anything?
Riddick: Well, I did notice, but I thought... you know, now that you're at home...
Kitty: You thought I was getting fat!
Riddick: I didn't mean it like that. - Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Kitty: Anything can happen during the first months and I wanted to be sure before telling you. There was no hurry as there was no choice to make. Even though this is not what we planned, I want the baby. Do you?
Riddick: Of course. I have told you that if you want children, then we'll have children.
Kitty: And you don't mind that the baby most probably won't be your kind?
Riddick: If the baby is going to be anything like you and Bea, I'd say we're lucky.
