  • "You'd be the coolest dude in the nation,
    Or the hippest cat in creation,
    But if your ain't got friends then nothing's worth the fuss." Perfect World (Reprise) by Tom Jones.
    • Even if those friends are imaginary.
    • Sometimes, real-enough people are better company than actually-real people. Especially when you're born into a garbage family in Useless Town, USA. Everyone wants to be loved and successful and cared for. When we can't find those things in reality, we retreat to fantasy.
      • "This old town can slow you down.
        People taking the easy way.
        But I know exactly where I'm going.
        I'm getting closer and closer every day."
        
        "People down here think I'm crazy,
        But I don't care.
        Trials and tribulations
        I've had my share.
        There ain't nothing gonna stop me now
        'Cause I'm almost there."

• Emperor's New School written by Kevin D. Campbell, Ed Scharlach, and Mark Dindal.
  • "He's got the cool, he's got the charm and the looks.
    And the hottie that can help him read those things called books."
    • In this case, Joru needs two hotties. Not just because he refuses to wear her glasses, she's also a sea-dweller who's out of the loop about a lot of land-lubbing customs.
    • And that's okay. This college has the best accommodations policies in the multiverse―policies born out of actually caring about their students, not just the abled ones. We may not be funded properly, but we have heart!

    You're the beginning and the end of every chapter."
    
    "For the way you changed my plans.
    For being the perfect distraction.
    For the way you took the idea that I have.
    Of everything that I wanted to have.
    And made me see there was something missing." Never Knew I Needed by Smith Shaffer.

  • Well, they say true beauty it comes from within.
    But you have to be comfortable in your own skin.
    So I exfoliate with this exotic cream.
    Just look at me, I look like a dream.
  • You know, no two people are like each other.
    So don't be a look-alike, copying another.
    Unless, of course, you're copying me.
    'Cause that gives you individuality!
