- [discussing the huge blue diamond that Josephine Hunter's ghost led the Hunter siblings to]
- Max Hunter: So Josephine's one true love was a rock?
- Tess Hunter: That's kind of sad when you think of it.
- Anika Hunter: Poor Josephine.
- Daniel Hunter: How much do you think a diamond like that is worth?
- Max Hunter: Ten milliion, give or take.
- Tess Hunter: Since when are you a diamond expert?
- Max Hunter: I'm not. I'm just saying it's probably worth a lot.
- Sal Hunter: According to Diamondpedia, the famous Hope Diamond, which is just about as big and blue, was insured for 250 million U.S. dollars.
- [reacting to the discovery of the Hunter Diamond's value]
- Daniel Hunter: Look every door and window! Nobody coming in or out without us knowing about it!
- Tess Hunter: Where do we hide the diamond?
- Anika Hunter: Let's put it in the cookie jar.
- Tess Hunter: We'll have to eat less cookies!
- Max Hunter: Why are we doing this?
- Daniel Hunter: Duh! So no one steals this jillion-dollar diamond.
- Max Hunter: We should be doing the exact opposite.
- Daniel Hunter: So you're saying we want somebody to steal the diamond?
- Max Hunter: Not steal it - try to steal it. Think about it. Saganash kidnapped Erik and Kate because he wants the diamond.
- Tess Hunter: And if he knows it's here, he's sure to try to steal it. All we have to do is catch him then we get Kate and Erik back.
- [Tess and Anika are drumming up business for the Hunter Museum's new exhibit]
- Tess Hunter: On view for the first time in 300 years, the rarest diamond in the world!
- Anika Hunter: It's so shiny, you'll probably go blind!
- Police Dispatcher: All available units, please report to Dam Square - Code 507 in progress. Altercation between street performers.
- Simone Smith: [to Daniel] Probably another fight between the jugglers and the mimes. Why can't they just get along?
- Anika Hunter: You know what you should do?
- Daniel Hunter: Get a permit.
- Anika Hunter: That, too, but I'm talking about Simone.
- Daniel Hunter: So am I.
- Anika Hunter: You should send her something that lets her know how you feel.
- Daniel Hunter: Like what?
- Anika Hunter: Like a love note.
- Daniel Hunter: What if she rejects me? What if she hates love notes?
- Anika Hunter: Everybody likes love notes.
- Tess Hunter: I don't.
- Anika Hunter: Everybody but Tess.
- [Tess learns the Hunter Museum's new exhibit is getting national publicity]
- Tess Hunter: We're going to have a few more people than we expected.
- Max Hunter: [Max holds out an elbow for Tess to link arms] Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls - it's show time!
- [Sal is watching the museum's surveillance cameras]
- Max Hunter: How's it going?
- Sal Hunter: Great! I've got coverage for every angle.
- Max Hunter: Perfect. If Saganash beats the trap, at least we'll have it on video.
- Sal Hunter: What do you mean, "Beats the trap"?
- Max Hunter: It's not going to happen... just a backup. A little extra insurance. Nothing can go wrong.
- [Watching the video screens, Sal suddenly sits upright in his chair]
- Sal Hunter: Something just went wrong.
- Max Hunter: Miss Clutterbeak, Julius, Janine - this is a surprise.
- Headmistress Clutterbeek: Yes, well, I heard about the exhibit and decided to take some of my favorite students on a special field trip.
- Max Hunter: On a weekend. Lucky you.
- Headmistress Clutterbeek: Yes. Precious gems are one of my many areas of expertise.
- Max Hunter: [muttering under his breath] Right, along with child torture.
- [Max refuses to allow Miss Clutterbeek to cut to the front of the queue]
- Headmistress Clutterbeek: It would be unfortunate if my experience here could have a negative effect on your grade.
- Max Hunter: I didn't know grades went lower than "F".
- Headmistress Clutterbeek: That's true, your grade can't get any lower... but what about your brother Sal's?
- [Max and Tess refuse to let Miss Clutterbeek cross the ropes to examine the diamond closely]
- Max Hunter: Please, it's museum policy.
- Tess Hunter: Step back.
- Headmistress Clutterbeek: I have never been treated so shabbily. Where are your parents? I would like to speak to them this instant!
- Tess Hunter: We'll put you in touch with you... during regular business hours.
- Tess Hunter: This was a bad idea.
- Max Hunter: Well, I mean, it depends what you mean by "bad". I mean, sure, a riot did break out and the law is breathing down or necks. The Clutterbeek problem isn't going away.
- Tess Hunter: That's kind of what I meant by "bad".
- [last lines]
- [the Hunters watch the surveillance video and see that Anika's chameleon triggered the intruder alarm, which ruined Daniel's hoped for assignation with Simone]
- Daniel Hunter: This is just great. Everything is ruined because of some alligator.
- Anika Hunter: She's a chameleon.
- Daniel Hunter: Okay, whatever.
- Anika Hunter: Yeah, but you're insulting her.
- [an ominous figure, hooded and masked, suddenly fills the video screen]
- Hooded Villain: You fools thought you could trap me like a household pest. I have just one thing to say to you. If you want to see your parents again... you give me the diamond!
