Joan of Arcadia, Season One

Joan:
Can I interrupt this moment of family tension to say that I will not be representing the school in the chess tournament.

Luke:
Was that ever a possibility?

Joan:
There was a brief moment of insanity.

Helen:
Joan, that is such an honor. Why would you turn that down?

Joan:
Because I don't know how to play chess. I keep telling everybody that but no one believes it.

Luke:
I believe you.

Joan:
Thank you. I don't understand it.

Luke:
It's just strategy and a little bit of living in the future.

Will:
Please, no more talk about the future.

Luke:
That's how it works, Dad. I mean, you see four moves ahead, it's empirical. You see five moves ahead, it's still grounded in science. I mean, who knows where the demarcation is? Now, if you see twelve moves ahead, maybe you're crossing over into psychic phenomenon. And maybe that's what a psychic does. She just sees the board of life better then we do.

Will:
There are a million people with white cars and dogs.

Kevin:
[Interrupting to make a point] She said I'd dance at my wedding. That's what she told me. Then again, she said Joan has a special connection to the universe, so go figure.
