uote one: “I had a rich father!” (pg. 66)

This is an important quote because it shows the beginning of a long conflict. Leo had lost his scholarship, and was was going to join Purge on their trip Concussed. But he wasn't doing it to meet his father, but to get money for his tuition. This conflict causes problems later on, that Leo thought he wouldn't have to deal with.”

Quote two: “I just want to meet him, I lied.” (pg. 87)

This is an important quote because it shows the first signs of guilt from lying about wanting to just meet King Maggot, not asking for money. Leo was thinking about what to say, but he had a little bit of trouble because the guilt was distracting. This is a progress point in Leo's conscience, because he is starting to use his conscience and feel guilt.

Quote three: “Why don't you spend the summer traveling with me?” (pg. 96)

This is an important quote because it shows the start of a relationship between Leo and King Maggot. Before this, Maggot was saying insensitive things to everyone, and had no clear relationship with Leo. But then he offered to take him on the Concussed road trip, which is a big offer for someone you are not sure is related to you directly and you don't even remember their mother. This big generous offer shows a bit of emotion towards Leo coming from King Maggot, which is a big progress point in Leo's and King Maggot's relationship.

Quote four: “We'll make a punk rocker out of you yet.” (pg. 186)

Leo has a person he calls a genetic hitchhiker, who is the “King Maggot side” of him. This hitchhiker, being the King Maggot side, is punk. This remark came from King Maggot after Leo screamed a punk scream. At this point, Leo has begun to accept the punk side of himself by using it to scream “LLAMA!!!” This is important because for the first time in the entire book Leo has shown clear acceptance of his genetic hitchhiker.

Quote five: “I want to be a part of your life.” (pg. 260)

When it was discovered that King Maggot wasn't his father, Leo was really disappointed. Because he thought Maggot wouldn't give him the money for the tuition bill because he wasn't his father. However King Maggot's relationship with Leo had grown to a point where not being a father didn't matter anymore. And in this line, Maggot reveals that he actually cares about Leo.
