Ivy: "You've activated the solar furnace!"
Sarah: "And it's already collected enough power to run the super grow lights I've invented!"
Zack: "You're going to grow a tropical rainforest in the desert? Why?"
Sarah: "You know, for a kid genius Zack, you sure are dumb as a wall! The moisture that evaporates will fill the clouds. Then I'll use the Spruce Goose to carry a massive cloud seeding machine that will drop salt crystal that will help it rain, rain, rain!" (laughs)
Ivy: "Do you know what would happen if that much precipitation fell in the driest place in the world?"
Sarah: "Well, let me think Ivy. Ah ha! For one thing I'll be able to float the giant away on massive pontoons and pull of the grandest crime in history!" (laughs more)
Carmen: "Well Sara, I see working alone you took the most rational route, unfortunately- the bridge is out."
Sarah: "The beauty of it that if I succeed, I can tell the police that you did it and the police will find you here- happy to lock you away for all your past, oh so petty crimes! Where on Earth is Sara Bellum has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" - "When it Rains"

Lee's Confrontation:
Lee: What do you think you're doin' locking me out? We're partners!
Carmen: Wrong Lee, we're through. You failed.
Lee: Aw! Failed?! I've proven I can steal anything, anywhere, anytime.
Carmen: By turning your back on my most basic principles.
Lee: Oh, get off it Carmen! You're nothin' but a thief yourself. And just because you pretend it's all a game, doesn't make it any better than what I'm doin'! Face it, we're the same you and me, daring everyone to try
and stop us. You see, the only difference is, I'm not as easily satisfied as you. Your rules bore me, Carmen. You want the game to be over, then it's over. (turns away and begins to exit) I gave Zack and Ivy two clues to my own master crime and they won't even come close to catching me. I'm the best in the world! And you're history Carmen Sandiego! (slams door and
exits)
Carmen: If I'm history, Lee Jordan, then it seems like history is about to
be re-written.

Ivy: "Oh really?" (grabs Chronoskimmer and presses a button.) "Hey Zack, whatcha doing?"
Zack: "I just told you, I have to fix the Chronoskimmer! It only goes back in time 10 seconds."
Ivy: "Really?" (picks up Chronoskimmer and presses a button) "Hey Zacko, whatcha doing?"

Lars: "So? We need bolt cutters and-"
Moe: "No, no! I mean the painting is on the wall!"
Lars: "Of course it's on the wall; it's a museum!"
