Quotes 

• Adam : Maybe I'm bad at stuff like this... but we kissed. It's not like I've kissed a lot of girls. Maybe I've only kissed one.

  Joan Girardi : Right.

  Adam : Well maybe it meant something to me.

  Joan Girardi : Maybe it meant something to me, too.

  Adam : I don't... I don't know what to do with it now.

  Joan Girardi : [chuckles]  Me neither.

  Adam : Maybe it's like that anti-drug guy said, you know? Romantic love is like a mental illness. It just happens and then what are you gonna do?

  Joan Girardi : Maybe we're just not ready.

  Adam : Okay. I accept that. Were you ready for that other guy?

  [Referencing God, whom Joan was dancing with at the party] 

  Joan Girardi : That's different.

  [after a long pause] 

  Joan Girardi : Hey, wanna dance?

• Joan : You don't think she is right, do you?

  Adam : I usually don't listen to what's going on unless I hear my name.

• [Joan, Adam, and Grace are studying] 

  Joan : What should we do first?

  Grace : Ask your brother for the answers.

  Joan : To be humble you have to be proud.

  Adam : Wait, arent those opposites?

  Grace : Ah, ask him ask him.

  [Luke just walked in] 

  Joan : No, no lets just break it down ok. Is there a chemical formula for twigs?

  Adam : Uh

  [from the top of is head] 

  Adam : Cellulose is c6h12o6

  [Joan drops her pencil in shock] 

  Adam : Uh, I have an eidetic memory.

  Joan : Whats that?

  Luke : Photographic.

  Grace : [talking about Adam]  He can barely remember his name.

  Adam : Listen, I know a lot, I just cant put it all together.

  Joan : Ok, what about a chemical equation for fire?

  Grace : Wood doesnt actually burn.

  Joan : Thats insane.

  Grace : What burns is the gas released when the wood gets hot. Therefore the reaction would have to be gasification, through oxidation reduction, then combustion.

  Luke : It is so hot that you know that.

  Adam : [to Grace]  Dude, are you smart?

  Grace : Just because I refute the whole formal schooling equals knowledge crap doesnt mean Im stupid.

  Adam : Nice.

  Joan : Ok, so what about gas.

  [Joan looks at Adam] 

  Adam : Cha, like I know.

  Grace : And Rainman back to underpants.

• Adam : [to Joan]  Are you talking about the panty shot?

  [notices Grace and Iris glaring] 

  Adam : I deleted it, like, immediately!

• Adam : [after Joan fails her physics test]  Physics is hard.

  Joan : "Physics is hard"? That's like the intellectual version of "you're not fat".

• Joan : You remember normal?

  Adam : Not really!
