John Lambrix : You're gonna do this thing? 'Cause I mean I can pretty much guarantee he's gonna put some serious hurt work on you.
Jace : I know.
John Lambrix : But you're going to show up anyway?
Jace : I will if you will.
John Lambrix : [Groans] Who am I kidding anyway, huh? I'm totally addicted to the glory rush.
-
Jace : This is the first conversation we've had that hasn't ended up being all about me.
Mary Beth : So?
Jace : So... why am I such a selfish jerk?
Mary Beth : Selfish jerk? That's a little harsh.
Jace : No, seriously, Mary Beth... why would you ever wanna hang out with me?
Mary Beth : Because, you don't care that I look like a hideous mutant she-beast.
Jace : [smiles] That's not true.
Mary Beth : How would you know?
[Jace leans over and gently strokes runs his fingers over her face]
Jace : Because somebody like you would have to have a face that matches her heart.

John Lambrix : Hey, Newfield. Why aren't you out there playing for the home team?
Jace : Oh, I was going to but my seeing eye dog kept pawing everyone's helmets off. HAHA!
John Lambrix : You're a funny guy.
Jace : Yeah, I don't see you laughing. Oh, wait, you're the one who's supposed to be making all the lame blind jokes.

[Fly rides his bike into Jace's yard]
Vincent Fly Shue : How you doing?
Jace : What's up?
Vincent Fly Shue : You moving in?
Jace : That's the rumor. Name's Jace.
Vincent Fly Shue : Vince.
[shakes Jace's hand, then waves the other in front of Jace's face]
Jace : [grabs his arm] What are you doing?
Vincent Fly Shue : I was... testing. You're, uh...
Jace : [smirks] You can call me Daredevil.
Vincent Fly Shue : But how'd you know my hand was there?
Jace : Facial vision. It has to do with vibrations in the air. I can tell where people are when they move.
Vincent Fly Shue : [moves around] Like Bat-radar, huh?
Jace : Just one of my many superpowers.

T-Rex Turner : Good job, Newfield. I'll see you at State.
Jace : I'll be there.
T-Rex Turner : And that move of yours... it *won't* work again.

Coach Rice : One last thing. Luke, you're back in at 145. Jace you're going up to 152. You're going to take on T-Rex. Motion drill on your feet!
Jace : [Everyone rises to start the drill. Jace grabs Fly's arm] Wait a second. Did he just say I'm taking on T-Rex?
Vincent Fly Shue : Nice knowing you, buddy.
-
Jace : Doesn't it ever tick you off? That when people look at you, the only thing they see is a blind guy?
Mason Wyatt : What? I'm blind? How am I going to get home?
[laughs]
Mason Wyatt : Man, of course, I'm blind. So are you. So what?
Jace : Thanks for your advice?
Mason Wyatt : What do you want me to say to you, huh? Like stay the course, it gets easier. Well guess what man, it *doesn't*! People are going to treat you differently always because you are different.
Jace : Tell me something I don't know.
Mason Wyatt : Okay, okay I will! YOU have been walking around here with a chip on your shoulder a mile high! You might as well have a little blinking light on your shoulder that says "Look at me. Pity me. Poor misunderstood me."... Look why don't you - play your song another way. People listen to the music you make. Play it so that they can see you as you really are.
-
Mason Wyatt : Well, you told you, you could be a team player.
Jace : Just took your advice.
Mason Wyatt : What was that? And please don't scare me by telling me that you actually listened to something I said.
Jace : I got rid of that chip on my shoulder the size of Brooklyn.

Coach Rice : [Jace's shoulder pops out after a wrestling match] Popped out?
Jace : Yeah. Means you can just - pop it back in, right?
Coach Rice : I *can*. But it's gonna kill.
Jace : Can't be any worse than it already is.
Coach Rice : All right. I'll help you out. Relax, let me have the wing. Let me have the arm.
[holds Jace's arm.]
Coach Rice : Hey Mary Beth.
[Jace relaxes. Coach pops Jace's shoulder back into place]
Coach Rice : Ice. Ice it good.
-
Jace : You know I would love a real chance to take that guy down. I really would.
Mary Beth : Maybe you should try out for a team.
Vincent Fly Shue : Please don't make it archery.
Jace : [acting like he's got archery equipment] Oh that's good. Look out!
Mary Beth : I was thinking wrestling.
Jace : I'm sorry I think she said wrestling.
Vincent Fly Shue : Can he do that?
Jace : Please don't encourage her.
-
John Lambrix : [Before Jace's match with T-Rex Turner] How you feelin'?
Jace : Like a dinosaur snack.
-
Patty Newfield : [after Jace says that he wants to try out for the wrestling team] It sounds dangerous.
Jace : Mom, my whole life is dangerous. Walking out the front door is dangerous. It doesn't mean I should sit in my room and hide.
