The Secret World of Alex Mack, Season 4

Kenneth:
I know, people have said it before, I'm a strange human being. I know that. But let me tell you why. See most people, they don't care about what they do. They don't have any pride in their work. I'm not like that. I don't care if I'm mowing yards or slinging pepper or being an auto mechanic. I work every table like that's what I'm gonna be remembered for, for the rest of my life. That's my art. If that makes me different from other people or if that makes me strange then, so be it.

(Ray is telling Louis about the big surprise for Alex)

Louis:
Ray, what makes you think I would believe something this crazy?

Ray:
I'm telling you, it's true.

Louis:
I'm not buying it. If something this... ridiculous and amazing happened to Alex, and it was this big secret and everything, why would you tell me? Keep in mind I was voted "Ninth-Grader Most Likely To Betray His Country.

Ray:
Yeah. I told you 'cause we're gonna need your help.

(Alex is held within a quarantine tube, with Danielle watching her)

Danielle Atron:
Well, you've had quite a childhood thanks to me, now haven't you. Let's see what you can do. (Alex tries to use her powers to escape, but is unable to) You are magnificent, you really are. But I've gotta tell you, your timing is so bad. One more day and I wouldn't have given you another thought.

Alex Mack:
(angrily) I want you to know I hate you.

Danielle:
Aww, no you don't. You just think you do.

Alex:
Why are you such a selfish, greedy, horrible person? Don't you care about anybody but yourself?

Danielle:
Don't you read the newspapers, young lady? America is thrilled to have GC-161 entering their lives, and is America selfish? No! And besides, even if I did tell them that the product had a couple of side effects, they wouldn't care.

Alex:
There's a lot of people who know about me! My friends, my sister! And if anything happens to me, they're gonna know it's you.

Danielle:
Yeah... But you didn't tell anybody about the accident, now did you? Because if you had, I'm sure I would have been stopped a long time ago, but you didn't. I guess you and your sister had your own selfish reasons for keeping it to yourself.

Alex:
I wish I had told them.

(Alex arrives to meet up with her captured parents)

George Mack:
Do you know what's going on here, Alex? What does Danielle want with you?

Alex Mack:
I guess I'd better tell you guys something. You know that truck driver, Dave, and he told that a couple years ago there was a GC-161 accident and some kid got doused with the chemical?

George:
Yeah.Alex: Well, that's true but he didn't tell you that... that kid was me.

George:
What do you mean "it was you"?

Alex:
It happened on my first day of 7th grade. Annie made sure I was OK, healthwise. I just have these side effects.

Barbara Mack:
What kind of side effects?

Alex:
Like this. (fires some electricity) And this. (floats pen in mid air, then morphs herself, then reforms, much to her parents' shock)

George:
Well, why didn't you tell us?

Alex:
Because we thought if you found out, that you'd lose your job and you'd tell Danielle and they'd come after me and cut me up, I don't know. We just thought it was best.

Barbara:
You thought it was best to not tell us? You thought it was better to take care of this all by yourself? What were you girls thinking about?

Alex:
I'm really fine, Mom! I just have these powers!

Barbara:
(remorseful) We must be the most oblivious parents on the face of the Earth.

Alex:
No, it was nothing you did, I was just really careful with them, you know.

George:
Didn't we bring you up with the understanding that you could tell us anything, anytime? I just don't understand, Alex we could have helped you, we could have been there for you. And I could have stopped Danielle a long time ago.

Alex:
I'm sorry Dad, but it really wasn't that bad. You probably can't understand this, but it was actually kind of fun.

George:
Maybe it was Alex, but look at where we are now.

(Alex confronts Dave)

Alex Mack:
You knew, didn't you? You knew this whole time that it was me, but you didn't say anything because you knew I didn't want you to.

Dave Watt:
Yeah.

Alex:
Thanks.

Dave:
You're welcome. (Alex gives Dave a hug in gratitude)

Alex Mack:
So, are you still going to hang out with me even without the powers?

Ray Alvarado:
Yeah. I think you're stuck with me.
