- Claudia: I wanted to be different. I wanted to be different.
- Mrs. Frankweiler: And did running away from home make you different?
- Claudia: No.
- Jamie Kincaid: You know, Claude, for a sister and fussbudget, you're not too bad.
- Claudia: You know, Jamie, for a brother and a cheapskate, you're not too bad either.
- Claudia: You're being conspicuous.
- Jamie Kincaid: You sure picked the right place not be noticed. Nobody looks at nobody in New York.
- Claudia: Nobody looks at anybody.
- Jamie Kincaid: That's what I said!
- Jamie Kincaid: I found another penny and a dime! Where'd all the money come from?
- Claudia: People probably throw coins in the pool and make a wish.
- Jamie Kincaid: I guess the quarters are the rich people's money.
- Claudia: I don't think so. Poor people are the ones that have to make big wishes.
- Jamie Kincaid: We're headin' due west now.
- Claudia: Can't you just say left or right? I don't think anyone's used a compass in Manhattan since Henry Hudson.
- Jamie Kincaid: Okay, the first thing we have to do is look for fingerprints.
- Claudia: Fingerprints? Michelangelo lived about 500 years ago.
- Jamie Kincaid: So, maybe he got arrested for making statues of naked people and they took his fingerprints.
- Jamie Kincaid: I found a picture of Michelangelo!
- Claudia: I've seen that picture before.
- Jamie Kincaid: His nose looks busted.
- Claudia: I just read about that. It was broken in fight when he was young.
- Jamie Kincaid: You mean he was a juvenile delinquent?
- Claudia: Of course, not. He was just a hot tempered genius.
- Jamie Kincaid: Some excuse.
- Claudia: It's macaroni and cheese!
- Mrs. Frankweiler: When it is served from Georgian silver, it is nouilles fromage en casserole.
- Claudia: How come you didn't take art appreciation lessons that summer when I did?
- Jamie Kincaid: Because I was only in second grade and I was having a tough enough time figuring out who Dick and Jane and Spot were.
- Jamie Kincaid: What's the difference between an angel and a cupid?
- Claudia: Angels wear clothes and have wings. Cupids are naked, except for bows and arrows.
- Claudia: ....but don't you feel better now that we've been to church?
- Jamie Kincaid: This is the best church I've been to--no collection and nobody preached.
