Josh Wise: Pat Brody

Quotes 

• Isabelle Meyers : "I do declare, Joel Larsen, you really are the most ill-bred man to come here at a time like this."

  Pat Brody : Who are you, Rosalynn Carter?

  Isabelle Meyers : No, the school's putting on "Gone with the Wind", and I've decided to play Scarlett.

  Joel Larsen : Wait! Did you audition?

  Isabelle Meyers : Not yet, but that's just a formality. I'm sure I'll get it.

  Joel Larsen : Isabelle, listen to me. Do not try out for that play.

  Isabelle Meyers : You don't understand. I have to. I have all A's, I'm in almost every club, I need something artistic to run at my transcript if I wanna be valid victorian.

  Pat Brody : But you've never acted before!

  Isabelle Meyers : I act like I like you.

• Pat Brody : So, does she get the part?

  Joel Larsen : Oh, no! The audition turned out to be the most embarrassing moment of Isabelle's life!

  Pat Brody : Hit me with some future talk!

  Joel Larsen : She went in, dressed as Scarlett O'Hara. She... she was so nervous that...

  Pat Brody : Isabelle? Nervous?

  Joel Larsen : She got total stage fright! Right in the middle of "I'll never go hungry again", she... she stumbled over the dress and her boob popped out.

  Pat Brody : No...!

  Joel Larsen : It gets worse. There was a kid there from the AV department that caught the whole thing on tape...

  Pat Brody : No...!

  Joel Larsen : ...and made copies and showed it to the entire school! From that on she wasn't known for being the president of the honor society or being the school's valid victorian, she was only remembered as 'Isaboob'.

  [we see pictures of the graduation ceremony, where Isabelle comes on stage] 

  Student : [off screen]  Way to go, 'Isaboob'!

  [back in the school, Pat laughs at the story] 

  Pat Brody : That's so classic!

  [Joel looks at him] 

  Pat Brody : That's so mean!

  Joel Larsen : Pat...!

  Pat Brody : Yes! Yes, I know the drill, we gotta stop this thing from happening.

• Isabelle Meyers : Don't be such a boob, Pat!

  [Pat spits his drink out] 

  Isabelle Meyers : What?

  Pat Brody : Nothing.

  [Isabelle walks out] 

  Pat Brody : This future knowledge is really fun sometimes.

• Joel Larsen : Isabelle, are you ready yet?

  Isabelle Meyers : I'm trying to get into character. I don't even know why I let you talk me into rehearsing with you.

  Joel Larsen : So you won't get nervous.

  Isabelle Meyers : Has anyone ever seen me nervous?

  Pat Brody : We're gonna see a lot more than that.

• Pat Brody : We're just trying to help you.

  Isabelle Meyers : That's very sweet, but I don't need help. I'm the one who helps you guys, remember? Now, you boys go play. I'm an actress.

  Joel Larsen : Isabelle, trust me. You're not. It's going to be a disaster.

  Isabelle Meyers : Guys, I'm not like you. I'm good at everything.

• Pat Brody : Either, she's gone with the wind, or she's way out of control. I can't imagine what she's like in the future.

  Joel Larsen : Actually, freezing up at that audition brought her down a peg... You know what? We're gonna let her go through with this.

  Pat Brody : Joel, no... We can't!

  Joel Larsen : No, no, listen, she needs the humility without the humiliation. We won't stop the audition, we'll just take the booby tape away from the dorky AV guy!

  Pat Brody : That's great! Then we'll watch it to make sure we've got the right one!

  [Joel gives him the look] 

  Pat Brody : Come on, can't you be fifteen for just a second?

• Joel Larsen : Hand it over, kid.

  Nathanial : Don't let the glasses fool you. I know karate.

  Pat Brody : Yeah, right. Having a Bruce Lee poster on your wall doesn't mean you know karate.

  [Nathaniel throws the tape in the air, uses a couple of karate moves on Pat, who falls over, and catch the tape again] 

  Nathanial : When you work AV, you gotta be able to protect yourself. Say to your friends they don't mess with Nathaniel Ruman!

  Joel Larsen : All right... Nathaniel Ruman, four times national karate champion! I must've forgot. I'm sorry, Pat.

  Pat Brody : [still lying down]  Isaboob is not gonna be happy.

• Isabelle Meyers : The audition was awful. I was awful. I was awful to you. I just got so nervous, so I took it out on you guys. I am so sorry.

  Joel Larsen : Hey, if you can't take it out on your friends, who can you take it out on?

  Isabelle Meyers : There's something else. I tripped, and my boob popped out, and a wimpy AV kid has it all on tape.

  Pat Brody : Wimpy? Don't let the glasses fool you!

  Isabelle Meyers : I'll bet you anything that it will go all around school and I'll end up with some horrible nickname, like... Boobabelle.

  Pat Brody : [laughs]  That's funny too.

• Isabelle Meyers : Oh no...

  Joel Larsen : [pulls out the tape]  Wouldn't worry about any nicknames.

  Isabelle Meyers : [excited]  You guys got the tape? Oh, my god, you guys are the best friends in the world.

  [hugs them] 

  Pat Brody : Ah, neck!

  Isabelle Meyers : I'm going to chem lab to burn this.

  [turns, but then turns back again] 

  Isabelle Meyers : I was so wrong. I do need your help.
