Quotes: « Sam's Dad: Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game. » « Fiona: All right. Well, I'm going off to get some more lipo. Come on, girls. Sam, we need you to clean the pool tonight. » « Sam: [stand up to Fiona] No! » [Rhonda, the staff, and the customers all become impressed with Sam finally standing up for herself] « Fiona: [shocked] Excuse me? » « Sam: You heard me. I quit. I quit this job, I quit your family, and I'm moving out! » [Fiona, Brianna, and Gabriella laughs at Sam] « Fiona: Oh, and, um, where are you gonna live? » « Rhonda: With me. » « Fiona: You can't just walk out on me. » « Sam: You know what, Fiona? You can mess with your hair and your nose and your face, and can even mess with my Dad's diner, but you're through messing with me! » « Austin: Sam! Okay, I know you think that I'm just some… » « Sam: Coward? Phony? » « Austin: Okay, just listen. » « Sam: No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay? I came to tell you that I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was, but I'm not anymore. And the thing is, I really don't care what people think about me… because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college… it's you that I feel sorry for. » « David: Heads up! Yo, five minutes. » « Austin: I'm coming! » « Sam: I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but I can't wait for him… because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing. » [walks away] « Austin: SAM! » [punches locker]

Plots: Routinely exploited by her wicked stepmother, the downtrodden Samantha Montgomery is excited about the prospect of meeting her Internet beau at the school’s Halloween dance. Samantha Montgomery (Hilary Duff) or “Sam”, has a rough childhood with her father dying in an earthquake and a new stepmother with two awful daughters. But on the bright side, Sam has an awesome best friend named Carter (Dan Byrd) and an e-mail relationship with a guy named Nomad. One day, Sam gets an e-mail from her Nomad saying that he wants to meet her in the middle of the dance floor at their high school Halloween dance. She accepts the invitation and glides into the room wearing the best outfit ever. Her Nomad takes her outside where they share a romantic dance together and Sam realizes that her e-mail friend is the most popular guy in school, Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray). She runs back to her stepmother’s diner before she knows she went to the dance and drops her phone on the way. Austin finds it and starts a search for his Cinderella. Samantha Montgomery (Hilary Duff), a teenager in California, is obliged to work as a janitor and dishwasher in the diner of her stepmother, Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge). After a cell phone mix-up, Sam begins an anonymous text-messaging and e-mail relationship with a boy. They agree to meet at a school dance, but when Samantha finds out that her secret pen pal is none other than Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray), the cutest boy in school, she panics and looks for a way to make herself cooler.
