- Eugene Hunter: Sneaking out in the middle of the night, stealing a family heirloom, disobeying our direct orders... Did you really think you'd get away with this, you impudent rabble?
- Tess Hunter: [whispering to Max] He's saying we're impertinent.
- Max Hunter: What?
- Tess Hunter: He hates us, okay?
- Max Hunter: Right.
- [Max disappears when the orphanage's van arrives to take him away]
- Eugene Hunter: Where is that miserable piece of filth?
- Daniel Hunter: Don't look at me. He never tells me anything.
- Eugene Hunter: I think it's a good thing.
- Hedwig Hunter: A good thing?
- Eugene Hunter: Yeah.
- Hedwig Hunter: A good thing how?
- Eugene Hunter: Who cares where the filthy urchin is? If he ran away, so much the better. We want all those brats out of our hair. One down, four to go.
- Hedwig Hunter: That's true. And it's only a matter of time before we stick the other little rats in new foster homes. Then this house and everything in it will belong to the rightful owners - us, the real Hunters!
- [Max's stomach makes growling noises]
- Max Hunter: You'll eat when it's safe.
- [Max's stomach growls again]
- Max Hunter: I heard that!
- [Aunt Hedwig and Uncle Eugene have confiscated the Hunters' electronic devices]
- Anika Hunter: This is a nightmare!
- Tess Hunter: It's only a game, Nika.
- Anika Hunter: It's not just that. I'm cut off! How am I supposed to know what's happening in the world. What if Neuterella drops a Newspond? I've got FOMO bad!
- Daniel Hunter: Any idea what she's talking about?
- Sal Hunter: Kids these days...
- [the Hunters are hiding on their family's canal boat]
- Rinus: Did you sleep here last night? You didn't run away?
- Max Hunter: Well, not very far.
- Hedwig Hunter: What do you want?
- Rinus: Well, hello to you, Hedwig. I've come to help.
- Hedwig Hunter: Help how? Getting on my last nerve?
- Rinus: Looking for the kids. I heard they disappeared.
- Hedwig Hunter: Oh. Yes, the children.
- Rinus: Yes, you must be worried sick.
- Hedwig Hunter: Oh, absolutely sick to my stomach.
- [the Hunters find the bag with the tracking device disgarded on the quai]
- Sal Hunter: Saganash was on to us.
- [Tess spots a police car speeding towards them]
- Tess Hunter: Great. They're on to us, too.
