Alexandra Rover
- [from trailer]
- Jack: Be the hero of your own life story.
- Alex Rover: Don't hand me that line - I wrote that line!
- Alex Rover: Beautiful ocean, isn't it just great?
- Alexandra Rover: [immitating Alex's Scottish accent] No, it isn't just grrreat.
- Alex Rover: What are these?
- Alexandra Rover: Airsick pills.
- Alex Rover: Don't they make you drowsy?
- Alexandra Rover: Drowsy?
- [cut to Alexandra snoring]
- Alex Rover: [speaking to herself] Oh, airplanes. There's nothing good about airplanes, except the peanuts... Am I allergic to peanuts?
- Alex Rover: I'm sorry. I wish I could come but... I'm borderline agoraphobic. I haven't even left my apartment in 16 weeks.
- Nim Rusoe: [responding to e-mail] What are you talking about? You're one of the greatest adventurers who ever lived. You're Alex Rover!
- Alexandra Rover: But I'm not 'that' Alex Rover.
- Alexandra Rover: [reading e-mail] "Dear Alex, regarding your question 'Am I all right?' I will be when my dad gets back. But it's really good talking to a real life hero. Nim." W-Wait a minute. 'When my dad gets back'? Oh, my God.
- Alexandra Rover: Dear Nim, the most important thing for a cut is to make sure that it's kept clean and dry.
- Alex Rover: In the Cook Islands, they use a stem of a Simarouba plant to keep out infection.
- Nim Rusoe: [looks at a photo] Hmm. Simarouba.
- Alex Rover: P.S. Are you all right, Nim?
- Alexandra Rover: [reading an e-mail] "Yes. I'm all alone. I'm 11, and my father's gone. He's lost at sea. And my leg is swollen and bleeding. And the Buccaneers are coming to take over the island. Nim."
- [replying]
- Alexandra Rover: What can I possibly do, Nim?
- Alex Rover: What can I possibly do, Nim?
- Nim Rusoe: [types the 4 letters C, O, M, and E] Come.
- Buffy Colt: [voicemail] Alexandra, it's Buffy, your favorite editor. I know you're there and I know you're not going to pick up. I just worry about you, darling sitting at your computer, living on a diet of only Progresso Soup.
- Alexandra Rover: Buffy.
- Buffy Colt: So, how is the new Alex Rover coming? Wasn't I supposed to read something two weeks ago? No pressure, no pressure, no pressure.
- Alexandra Rover: Dear Nim, are you Jack's research associate? Jack wrote of a volcano where you live. Are you familiar with it? Sincerely, Alex Rover. Send.
- Alex Rover: What are you doing, Alexandra?
- Alexandra Rover: Research. Go. Go. Go away. Leave me alone.
- Alex Rover: You don't mean that. You love me.
- Alexandra Rover: And what makes you so sure of that, huh?
- Alex Rover: Because the whole world loves Alex Rover.
- Alexandra Rover: Really? I know "Translated in 21 different languages." No pressure, no pressure, no pressure.
- Alex Rover: You've been writing chapter 8 for three months now. So either sacrifice me to the damn volcano or let me find my escape already. Hey! It's time to finish the book!
- Alexandra Rover: Shh! I'm thinking.
- Alex Rover: Yeah. You're thinking. You're thinking. That's the problem. You've gotta get out of your head and into your body.
- Alexandra Rover: Hey. That's it. Kinka.
- Alex Rover: Kinka?
- Alexandra Rover: "Dear Alex Rover, I'm sure Jack would love to help you with your newest adventure. He'll be back on Thursday. He's a great fan of yours. We both are. From Nim." Nim. Hmm, what an unusual name.
