"All these amazing powers you possess, and yet you still can't get school canceled."

"What am I even doing here? I'm from a distant planet with super smart technology! I already know stuff! Superman says I need socialization. Yeah, right. That's going great. I just want to be a superhero. (sadly) I don't need any friends..."
"But I, I just couldn't do it. You had to learn how to live. You had to grow up. I couldn't keep you in a bell jar forever. I had to let you get out there and take some lumps, and learn how to deal with things. I—Kara. Do you know I always wanted a sister? I've always been lonely. A brother would have been nice. But do you think..." He was choking back his own tears. "Do you think that... I would've stayed single this long... if I'd grown up with a sister? Somebody who... could teach me about women...? Do you..."
And now she was holding him against her breast for the first time, and rocking him. "It's okay, Kal. It's okay. I do understand. I do..."

"I don't do one-night stands and I don't have time for a relationship. I almost have too much on my plate with school, community-service hours, and saving the world from evil mutants. Figuring out women takes too much time and energy. That, and most people just manage to irritate me."

Peter Parker: I can't go to Germany!
Tony Stark: Why not?
Peter: I have... homework.
Tony: Okay, I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.
Tony Stark: Why not?
Peter: I have... homework.
Tony: Okay, I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.
Let's see, I'm behind in my homework. My dad thinks I've joined a gang because I'm never around. I don't sleep much because every time I try I'm suddenly a termite again and I wake up screaming. I never get to just sit around and watch TV. And, in my spare time, I have to help figure out how we're going to keep the Yeerks from turning some guy named Farrand into a Controller so they can wipe out the forest and hunt down the Bird-boy and the universe's only almanac-reading Andalite. I mean, I knew the middle-school years would be tough, but this is a little much.

Rani: (to Santiago) Yeah, we've been to parallel times, dream dimensions, limbo, and then we go home for tea.
Clyde: Yeah, we see all of this and then my Mum's like, "What'd you do today?", and I'm like, "Not much."
Rani: "Went to the library."
Clyde: "Played a bit of footy."
Rani: "Stayed behind after drama club."
Clyde: Oh yeah, and I, uh, fought off a platoon of Judoon in my spare time.

Doctor O., you know I love being a Ranger, but it can really put you in a crunch when it comes to homework.
— Ethan, Power Rangers: Dino Thunder
Sucks that you have to do exams even after changing Shido's heart and saving the country. It's rough being a human.
Being an underaged flyboy, he's kinda like a Powerpuff Girl: Saving the world before bedtime. Well, not exactly. The SMS Staff make him earn his paycheck by working him like a dog so the bridge bunnies and Captain Bobby can earn theirs while ogling him. But in the morning, he heads to Miboshi Academy giving his teachers the reason: "The Vajra ated it. If you fail me, I'll lead the Vajra attack near your home the next time they come." when he fails to hand in his homework.
The Boy: Shelley, it's not that we don't want to save the world. But I don't think our parents will let us leave the country on a school night.
Esther: Thanks, Professor Priorities.
