* One time, Kyle tries to use the mirror to talk to Kendra, and it takes a moment for her image to appear:
-->"Why does the mirror take so long to show you to me, but others I see instantly?"
-->"Because sometimes I'm doing something you shouldn't see."
-->"Like what? In the bathroom?"
-->She scowled. "Witch things."
-->"Right. Got it." But under my breath, I sang, "Kendra's on the potty."
-->"I was not!"

* The night before his first lesson with Lindy, Kyle wakes Will up at 6 in the morning to help him learn everything ahead of time, so he can impress her. Will tries desperately to brush him off.
-->"You just want to go back to bed."
-->"I do want to go back to bed. But I don't ''just'' want to go back to bed." He started to close the door.
