All of the lines for Annabeth in Act I of The Lightning Thief, includes cue lines.

You drool when you sleep

PERCY: I’ve never seen a face as beautiful as

You had an accident. You’re safe now. Your friend Grover carried you here, and I gave you ambrosia. It heals almost any injury. Unless I give you too much and it kills you.

PERCY: Wait, where am I?

I should tell Mr. D you’re awake. Mr. D!

PERCY: Where is Grover? I had this dream, he was a goat, there was a bull, and my mom - where’s my mom?

More like barely survived a minotaur.

LUKE: Poor guy, he really fought a minotaur?

He shows up out of nowhere, says he doesn’t know anything about us - but he’s strong enough to fight a minotaur? Something doesn’t add up. I just can’t figure out what.

LUKE: You don’t believe him?

Admit it, I’m the smartest person you know.

LUKE: Well, if Annabeth Chase can’t figure it out…

You think I’m tough? How do you think he is at Capture the Flag?

LUKE: And the toughest, so I’d admit it either way.

It’s not a lightsaber.

PERCY: Not with swords.

Are you sure he doesn’t have a concussion?

PERCY: You’re my dream girl! I mean… the girl I saw… while I was dreaming…

You have ADHD, right? Dyslexia too?

PERCY: I don’t have any gifts.

Letters float off the page when you read because your mind is hardwired for Ancient Greek. And your ADHD - you’re impulsive, you can’t sit still in class. Those are your battlefield reflexes.

PERCY: Yeah, but…

He’s a history professor.

PERCY: So, who’s your dad?

My *mom* is Athena, goddess of wisdom. Sexist much?

PERCY: He’s human? But I thought…

Capture the Flag isn’t about being nice. It’s about proving to the gods that we’re tough, powerful, and victorious in battle!

PERCY: No! I mean, I love girls! I mean… I think they’re really…nice!

All right, team, let’s talk strategy. Hermes kids are fast, so, Luke?

GROVER: Ow, ow, ow, my face…

Grover? Satyrs are creatures of Pan - god of the wild. You know what to do?

LUKE: Actually, that’s a stereotype… Foot brigade, got it.

I have a special job for you. Go to the boys’ bathroom.

PERCY: What about me? I don’t know my talent yet!

*Stay there.* It’s your first day, we don’t want you messing this up.

PERCY: And?

Not bad for your first day.

LUKE: All hail Percy Jackson, supreme lord of the bathroom!

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

PERCY: You set me up.

You mean distracting Ares’ best warrior so I could capture their flag? Smart plan.

PERCY: You told me to hide in the bathroom. You knew Clarisse would go after me. I was part of your plan.

The plan would’ve worked either way.

PERCY: She could’ve killed me!

She is. Also battle strategy. Look, I needed that win. I needed to prove to my mom I’m a champion so that I can get a quest.

PERCY: I thought Athena was all about books! And reading!

The biggest honor a half-blood can get. But it doesn’t matter. No one will be talking about my victory tonight. They’ll be too busy talking about yours. How’d you drench Clarisse the Beast anyway?

PERCY: A quest?

I really hope that doesn’t mean what I think it means…

PERCY: I don’t know, it was like the water in the toilet just responded to me… What?

A hero’s quest. It’s only the biggest honor a half-blood can get.

PERCY: What?
