Leo Borlock : [narrating, after Stargirl leaves one last time] And just like that, she was gone. Her mom sold the house. I imagine they were on the road somewhere. But even though she was gone, she was everywhere.

Leo Borlock : So what's your deal with that bike?
Stargirl Caraway : The kid it belongs to got it for his birthday, but then got into an accident. He's been in the hospital for a few weeks, but he's better now and coming home.
Leo Borlock : Wait, are you talking about Hillari Kimble's brother? Is he a friend of yours?
Stargirl Caraway : No.
Leo Borlock : How do you know that's his bike?
Stargirl Caraway : I have my ways.
Leo Borlock : So, why was it at the thrift store?
Stargirl Caraway : I don't know. His family was probably so busy with everything going on, they didn't even think about it. But this way, when he's ready to get back on, it'll be waiting.
Leo Borlock : Does she know you're coming?
Stargirl Caraway : No.
Leo Borlock : So, you're just gonna leave it there?
Stargirl Caraway : What else would I do?
Leo Borlock : I don't know, knock? Leave a note?
Leo Borlock : At first I thought it was my mom, you know? But I know it was you. The ties. It was you. The ties I get every year for my birthday. I never knew who it was from, but...
Stargirl Caraway : [interrupting] I have no Idea what you're talking about, Leo Borlock.

Leo Borlock : [after Stargirl ran away from school as Hillari scolded her] Stargirl, please wait. We can fix this.
Stargirl Caraway : Some things just take some time.
Leo Borlock : Or maybe you don't have to do all the things that you do.
Stargirl Caraway : What do you mean?
Leo Borlock : You could just hang out. Like, when it's just us.
Stargirl Caraway : So you can go back to blending in.
Leo Borlock : This isn't about me!
Stargirl Caraway : It's not?
Leo Borlock : You were the one that you wanted to make friends!
Stargirl Caraway : I do!
Leo Borlock : Then listen to them! Why can't you just be more like everybody else?
Stargirl Caraway : Is that what you want?
Leo Borlock : I don't know. But I think you'd be happy. I think we could be happy.
[Stargirl starts walking away]
Leo Borlock : Stargirl. Stargirl, come on, I'll drive you home.
Stargirl Caraway : I'd rather walk.
Leo Borlock : It's getting dark.
Stargirl Caraway : I know!

Leo Borlock : She keeps winning and she's not even trying. She beat Kevin in speech, and he's won two years in a row. Somehow she's better.
Archie : Okay.
Leo Borlock : We've won four football games this year. Before this, we never even won one. And I think... Well, no, I know it's her.
Archie : What do you mean?
Leo Borlock : Is she... No, it's stupid. Is she magic?
Archie : Depends on how you define "magic."
Leo Borlock : She started doing stuff and we started winning.
Archie : Doing stuff?
Leo Borlock : She made it rain the other night.
Archie : Excuse me?
Leo Borlock : [scoffs] It's stupid.
Archie : No, you're just not making sense.
Leo Borlock : Since she got here, things have been different. But good different.
Archie : Some people are just like that.
Leo Borlock : [chuckles] So is she or isn't she?
Archie : You're gonna have to figure that out for yourself.
Leo Borlock : [drinks coffee, then coughs] Is that coffee? I don't drink coffee.
[Archie laughs heartly]
