Quotes:

Ione: That's hilarious. What is it?::Clapton Davis: I don't know. I think it's a bong.::Mr. Kendall: Well, Clapton. I'm wet.

Principal Verge: I get it. Listening to your loud music, tripping out to Fraggle Rock. But the question is: What does the future hold for Clapton Davis?::Clapton Davis: Well, I am starting my own music site. Its going to list new releases and review albums from bands that nobody's heard of except for me and if they have I'll just dismiss them with scathing comparisons to avant-garde folk rockers. Everything's great on a ultra precise one hundred point scale and there's no place for feedback. If readers want to bitch about they'll have to go on their twitters. Good taste is not a democracy.::Principal Verge: And this pays what? 13.5 a year?::Clapton Davis: Free Costello tickets.

Riley Jones: Every morning I try to remember that I'm only the second biggest loser to walk Grizzly Hills High. First place goes to the drunk slut who screwed the dead mascot in 1992. But the 90's are history, and so am I.

Clapton Davis: Sander, Ioni's an old soul trapped in a very painfully hot cheerleader body. Plus, she knows the lyrics to Sting's Fields of Gold.

Clapton Davis: Mullet beats pony-tails.

Taylor Fisher: Get out of my room, you pedophile!

Madison: [in "Slashing Beauty 4"] Greg, you asshole! Now we really do have to use this time to think about our futures.

Principal Verge: I know it looks like such a lighthearted feel-good comedy, being an expecting teenage mom. But let me tell you something, I've been principal at this school for five years. Let me tell both of you something, pregnant teenagers are never funny, ever.::Student: I'm not pregnant.::Principal Verge: Cut the carbs.

Gord: Yes, I like to start off by saying that this girl's argument is ridiculous! Vegetarians who eat fish are hypocrites! She thinks that because fish feel no pain they don't value their lives. Absurd!

Plot: Amidst the chaos of Martial Law in this Third World country in the 1980s, six teenagers in the top high school for the sciences discover themselves as they go through the joys and pains of adolescence. They were the top two hundred students from all over the Philippines who passed the examination for the Philippine Science High School, which was created for the purpose of giving an education highly enriched in the Sciences to exceptionally gifted Filipino children. Selected from the best and brightest from all over the country, they endure college-level courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics from their sophomore year onwards. Those who can make it are hailed as the future science and technology leaders of the New Republic, those who don't are deemed unfortunate victims of natural selection. They all learn however that they are neither isolated from the real world, nor are they exempted from living real lives. They find the world outside, erupting into the People Power revolution in 1986 against the Marcos dictatorship, being replicated within the school as they struggle to graduate, contend with teachers, classmates, family, school officials, and a new classification to segregate students meeting the high standards of excellence from those who do not.
