Adolescent Cory Matthews grows up, and faces problems with friends, family, and school.
Cory: Mom, Listen, I haven't been together with Topanga for twenty-two years, but we *have* been together for sixteen. 'Kay, that's a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together in the park. When we were two, we were best friends, I mean, I, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color. I knew her favorite food. Then we became six, you know, and Eric made fun of me because it wasn't cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl, so for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those "the lost years". Then when I was thirteen, Mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She was always talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I'm with her I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that's, that's what I feel is love, Mom... When I'm better because she's here... and now she won't be. So we're finished.
Eric: So I said to myself, 'Kyle,'... Alan: Kyle? Eric: That's what I call myself.
Shawn Hunter: [Cory and Shawn are discussing Cory and Topanga's recent breakup] Cory, Topanga went out with another guy last night. I'm really sorry, man. Cory: So we're the only two people in the world who still have hope for Topanga and me, and you're throwing in the towel? Shawn Hunter: [nods] Sorry, Cory. Cory: All right. [turns away] Shawn Hunter: You okay? Cory: Yeah, sure. It's a strange feeling, though. Shawn Hunter: What, knowing that it's finally over between you and Topanga? Cory: [turns back to face Shawn] No, being the only one who knows it's not.
Cory: You are going to learn something from life every day. And make mistakes. And you'll make good friends and Mr. Feeny will probably teach you every grade you're ever in. And maybe someday you'll fall in love with a woman as wonderful as Topanga. How would you like that? Joshua Matthews: Yeah. Cory: And be lucky enough to make a good friend as Shawn. How'd you like that? Joshua Matthews: Good. Cory: And when you're not a little boy anymore, when the world has taught you how to be a man... Then you'll still make mistakes. But your family, and all those good friends you've made along the way, will help you. And even though you'll think the world has gone out of it's way to teach you all the tough lessons, you'll realize that it's the same world that's given you your family and those friends, you you'll come to believe that no matter what happens, somehow the world will protect you, too. "Boy Meets World." Now I get it.
Topanga: I wasn't sure this day would ever come, but you were. I wasn't sure love could survive everything we put it through, but you were. You were always strong and always sure. And now I know I want you to stand beside me for the rest of my life. That's what I'm sure of. Cory: I have to talk to her now, OK. [to Shawn] Shawn Hunter: Go ahead. Cory: Ever since I was young I never understood anything about the world, and I never understood anything that happened in my life. The only thing that ever made sense to me was you, and how I felt about you. That's all I've ever known and that's enough, that's enough for me, for the rest of my life. Topanga, we gonna get married? Topanga: Yea, we are. Cory: Good, cause, umm I have these rings... I love you, Topanga. Topanga: I love you too, Cory.
Eric: Mr. F... F... F... Feeny Mr. George Feeny: I love the Feeny call
Cory: It's hard to imagine you as a boy. Did your parents call you Mr. Feeny?
Cory: That's just what I want - to be Topanga's boyfriend. And then we can name our children Chewbacca and Plankton.
[Jack and Eric are dressed up as girls to avoid bullies] Mr. George Feeny: Hmm, double d's, just like your grades.
Morgan Matthews: Mommy, if my dolly's cold, can I put her in the toaster oven? Amy Matthews: No, honey. That would be a mistake. Morgan Matthews: Mommy? Amy Matthews: Yes? Morgan Matthews: I made a mistake. Amy Matthews: [runs over to toaster oven and pulls out doll] Cory, didn't you smell that? Cory: Yeah, I just thought we were having plastic for dinner.
Eric: I have a question that I'm going to need a yes or no answer to. How many people get into Yale each year? Mr. George Feeny: No.
[John Turner is in a coma] Shawn Hunter: John, how could you be in here? How could you screw up on your bike? I have never seen you screw up on anything. I'm the screw-up, remember? C'mon you remember... Don't do this to me, John. I don't do alone real good... I know you're in there but it's like you're not really here. You're not talking but I know you're here. So I'm just gonna talk, you can listen. [pause] Shawn Hunter: John, even when I was at the Centre, it was all the things you taught me that made me wonder if it was the right place for me or not. But you didn't teach me enough. You, and Cory, and my parents, and the Matthews and the handful of people who really care about me, so don't blow me off, John. [Looks up] Shawn Hunter: Don't blow me off, God. I never asked you for anything before and I never wanted to come to you like this, but don't take Turner away from me; he's not done yelling at me yet. God, you're not talking but I know you're here, so I'm gonna talk, and you can listen. [pause] Shawn Hunter: God, I don't wanna be empty inside any more.
Topanga: Yeah, Shawn, you were wrong about Feeny and you're wrong about this. Shawn Hunter: You were wrong to break up with Cory. Topanga: What does that have to do with anything? Shawn Hunter: Did any of this happen while you two were still together? Topanga: No. Shawn Hunter: You've killed us. You've killed us all. Eric: Hey, hey. Now there's only two people horribly dead here, that's an acceptable loss.
Topanga: I don't sweat, I glisten. Shawn Hunter: [hands her a towel] Well, you're glistening like a pig.
Cory: It was raining... you had an umbrella... I grabbed it, stuffed it down your throat, and then I opened it. Shawn, I Mary Poppinsed ya.
Alan Matthews: Hey, son! How was your day? Cory: Fine. Alan Matthews: What'd you do in school? Cory: Nothing Alan Matthews: Hey, *hold on*! Wait there! Alan Matthews: You know, everyday I ask you, "What did you do?" and everyday you tell me "Nothing." Well, I'm tired of nothing. I mean we both know something happened in school today and I want to know what it is! Cory: I decided to be a girl. Alan Matthews: Well, you taught me a very valuable lesson there, son. Shawn Hunter: You know the book, "Black Like Me"? Amy Matthews: Sure, is that what you guys are reading in school? Alan Matthews: Don't ask questions, honey!
Eric: See, duckies are good, cuz not only do they give you that non-threatening sense of security, but you can feed 'em crackers and you can ride 'em. See, duckies are the horsies of the ocean. No, I mean they are. Cory: Okay, someone explain to me about duckies before I hit him with a spoon. Amy Matthews: It's wallpaper. Topanga: It's adorable. Alan Matthews: It's for you room. Eric: DUCKIES RULE.
Cory: She kissed me! Topanga: And you moved away? What did you do to stop it? Cory: You're right. I said, "Kiss me, baby-sweetie, kill the relationship with the person I care about more than anyone in the world, and make me miserable for the rest of my horrible life." That's what I said.
Amy Matthews: Apparently, Cory would rather listen to the game then try and understand the emotional content of Romeo & Juliet. Cory: Mom, I'm a kid. I don't understand the emotional content of Full House. Morgan Matthews: I do.
Jack: She got sick and said that chicken soup would help her feel better. I told her it probably would. Then I went bowling. Eric: Guys, I've come to a conclusion: Men are idiots. Eric, Cory, Alan, Shawn Hunter, Mr. George Feeny, Jack: What? Eric: Wait! There's more! Men are big idiots. Eric, Cory, Alan, Shawn Hunter, Mr. George Feeny, Jack: Hmm... yeah.
Eric: My grades aren't good enough to get me into college? Mr. George Feeny: Your grades, my friend, aren't good enough to get you a Slurpee.
[Cory and his mother are compromising] Amy Matthews: Thirty minutes. Cory: Half an hour. Amy Matthews: Deal.
Eric: When did this school get a library? Jack: Everyday is a new adventure isn't it?
Mr. Turner: Hunter, Matthews, stand up! Shawn: I didn't do it. Mr. Turner: Uh huh. Anyway, Hunter, who's your best friend? Shawn: Um... you are, sir! Mr. Turner: Good answer. Matthews, who's your best friend? Cory: Shawn is. Mr. Turner: And what would you do to someone who messes with your best friend? Cory: I'd kill him. Mr. Turner: And on that note, I'd like to introduce you to your new teacher and my friend Mr. Williams. So if any of you mess with him, I'll kill you.
Sergeant Moore: Boy you are disgrace to this community, this country, and humanity in general! Eric: Oh, wow!
Eric: It was one of those nights. You know the kind. Like day, but darker.
Topanga: [reading her yearbook quote to Cory] You do your thing and I do my thing. You are you and I am I. And, if, in the end, we end up together, it's beautiful.
Topanga: Cory, the worst thing that ever happened when we were kids was that your Pop-Tart fell on the ground. Cory: Yeah, and *you* convinced me to eat it. You said, "God made dirt, dirt won't hurt."
Cory: Someday, Topanga's going to be a mother, and I'm going to be the father. Or, the uncle. Or, the way I'm going, the guy down the street with the binoculars.
Shawn Hunter: If I was only going to be alive for one more minute, I'd spend it looking in your eyes. Angela Moore: And if you were only going to be alive for one more minute, I'd tell you to stop lookin'... and start kissin'.
Cory: [about Topanga] She goes away for the summer and comes back a woman. Shawn Hunter: Yeah. Kinda like Coach Franklin.
Mr. George Feeny: I, for example, have a young neighbor who sings along to his little sister's Barney records. Cory: You hear that?
[Cory rips the blanket off Topanga and Shawn] Cory: Underpants. Shawn Hunter: I always sleep like this. Cory: Underpants. Shawn Hunter: Oh, here we go.
[Tommy wants Eric to adopt him] Tommy: Do you know what Scooby did when Shaggy fell in the well? Eric: This isn't a cartoon, Tommy. Tommy: He SAVED him. He saved him because he LOVED him. Eric: Tommy, you know I love you. Tommy: Then why won't you save me?
Cory: Would you be my girlfriend? [Topanga kisses Cory] Cory: Yes or no?
[Mr. Turner and Mr. Williams break up a fight between Cory and Shawn] Jonathan Turner: Hunter? Matthews? Eli Williams: Did you guys know you were fighting each other?
Cory: I believe in love like I believe in God: you can't touch it, you can't see it, but you can feel its wrath. Shawn Hunter: And its goodness. You can feel love's goodness. Cory: I wouldn't know
Amy Matthews: [to Alan] You're grounded. Cory: Does that really work? Can she really ground you? Alan Matthews: In certain ways, yes.
Eric, Shawn Hunter, Jack: [gasp] Topanga!
[Cory is hitch-hiking and an Amish man approaches in a carriage] Amish Man: Hello, young man. Are you in need of a ride? I'm going to that farmhouse there. [he points] Cory: That farmhouse there? [points] Amish Man: That farmhouse there. [pointing] Cory: Well, I'm going to Philadelphia. Amish Man: Well, I can take you as far as that farmhouse there. [points] Cory: Yes, but, you see, I'm going to Philadelphia, so that really does me no good. Amish Man: That may be, but, my will is just and my heart is pure. [drives off] Cory: ...Which also does me no good.
Cory: Mr. Feeny, under my desk is a key. It opens locker 703 in a Florida station. In there is all my homework from the past 5 years. I'm actually a wonderful student. I listen and I know everything. Mr. George Feeny: What's the capital of Montana? [pause] Cory: You're not going to Florida, are you?
[discussing how nice looking Mr. Turner's bike is] Frankie: You could eat it. Joey: You mean "eat off it". Frankie: I said what I said.
[Cory tells Shawn and Topanga to go out on a date and they ask him why] Cory: Because, if you don't, it's gonna haunt us for the rest of our lives. Topanga: Why does everything have to haunt us for the rest of our lives? Cory: Underpants.
[Cory is writing a note] Turner: Matthews, you're amazing, you have no idea what's going on, and yet you're still taking notes. Watcha writin'? [Cory stuffs the note in his mouth] Turner: Watcha eatin'?
Eric: [sees a spider on his arm] What do you think Mr. Birdy? [slurred] Eric: Birdy bit me... left side paralyzed... losing consciousness...
Cory: Shawnzie? Shawn Hunter: Yessie?
Eric: Life's tough, get a helmet.
[trying to straighten Cory's hair] Cory: Is this stuff supposed to be burning? Shawn Hunter: Why, is it burning? Cory: No, I was just trying to make conversation, because we don't get enough chances to talk any more.
Cory: I, Cory Matthews, am a PO-TAY-TO.
Eric [singing]: "When a crime breaks out, all the cute girls shout, 'Get the good-looking guy.' When there's a crime out there, he's going to comb his hair, cause he's the good-looking guy. [speaking] Eric [singing]: Book 'em, good-lookin'.
Shawn Hunter: He says one thing, and does another. He's a hypochondriac.
Amy Matthews: C'mon, Morgan. Let's go in the other room and watch TV. Morgan Matthews: But TV's not funny. Cory's life is funny.
Morgan: Cory and Topanga sitting in a tree. A-B-C-D-E-F-G
[Eric and Topanga have gone on a diet together, but are keeping it a secret; Cory thinks the reason Topanga is acting differently is that she's pregnant] Eric: [to Topanga] Look, in a few months, everything's gonna be back to normal, okay? Cory: All right, Eric. What's going on? Eric: Hey, Cor. You smell like chicken. Cory: Don't change the subject. I know Topanga confided in you. What did she tell you? Eric: She told me that she's in trouble and it's all your fault. Your waffles and butter did this to her. Cory: Why would Topanga confide in you instead of her own husband? Eric: Because she knew how you'd react. Cory: You mean like this? [screams] Cory: My life is over! [back to normal voice] Cory: Like that? Eric: That's why she came to me, okay? People like us have similar appetites, that's how we get into situations like this. Cory: You've been in this situation before? Eric: Yeah, on and off since high school. Cory: Do Mom and Dad know? Eric: Yeah, Mom and Dad know. Dad actually thinks it's kinda funny. [laughs] Cory: Oh, no, Eric. There is nothing funny about this. Every day she gets bigger, my life gets a little more complicated. Eric: Your life? Is that all you can think about? What about Topanga, huh? What is she supposed to do? Her body's out of control and she has nowhere to turn! Look, if you can't be supportive then the best possible thing for you to do is just stay away from her. Just stay away from her! Cory: [hysterical] I don't know what I should do! [both run away, in opposite directions]
Cory: Last night T.K. and me talked on the phone for two hours. That beats my previous time spent on the phone with a girl by like... two hours.
Harley: Didn't I tell Frankie to dispose of you two? Cory: Yeah, and he did. He killed us. Big time. Shawn: And now we're the angels of ourselves. Cory: And now it's time for us to float away. Shawn: Float. Harley: Have either one of you angels seen my girl. Cory: You mean Gloria? Shawn: No, we haven't seen her. Cory: There's no reason for us to have seen her. Shawn: We were in the locker the WHOLE time. Harley: The whole time WHAT, boys? Cory: Come on, Shawn. Float.
Cory: Where are you going? Topanga: With this outfit and this hair? Hello, buh-bye, I am SO at the mall.
Topanga: Do you think this is funny? Cory: No, I think it's the opposite of funny. I think it's... wood.
Shawn: [about Cory] You like him. Topanga: You little pervert. Shawn: You like him a lot.
Cory: Mommy, its me, Cory! you used to wipe my tushy!
Shawn Hunter: I'm no rocket scientologist.
Eric: Nothing happened. Cory: Yeah, and it DIDN'T happen in Mom and Dad's bed. I have you. I have you by your ovaries.
Shawn: (to Angela ina drunken haze) We don't have any Mommy's or Daddy's.
Mr. George Feeny: Friendship for example, is a real gift. It's given with no expectations and no gratitude is needed, not between real friends.
Mr. George Feeny: Mr Matthews, what was I just talking aboout? Cory: [stutters] Uhhh... Mr. George Feeny: Ok, Mr. Hunter, what was I just talking about? Shawn Hunter: President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Mr. George Feeny: [clutches heart] O dear lord he's right. Shawn Hunter: Hey Mr. Feeny, it's been my answer for two years. It had to pay off sometime!
[on Cory's attempt to ask Topanga out] Shawn Hunter: What did you do? Cory: I saluted her.
Cory: Look at me, I'm breakin' the law. [Sirens] Cory: Well we all so that one coming.
Miss Kelly: All right. The name of the place where the eggs are stored. Cory: What are... the gonads? Miss Kelly: No, sorry, I was looking for "What are the ovaries?" Cory: Oh, the o... yeah, I always mix those two up. Miss Kelly: Try not to; your future will be brighter. Can you tell us anything about ovulation or how pregnancy occurs? Cory: Well, the man's got the sperm and the woman's got the egg. Now, once a month an egg slides down the "Phillippine tube" towards the uterus. Cory: The first sperm to reach the egg wins. It gets a medal, it's born, ya name 'em "Cory", ya push 'em out the door, and nothing makes sense for the rest of his life. Miss Kelly: Well, congratulations; you seem to have a thorough understanding of the life cycle. Cory: Hey, I live it!
Jonathan Turner: [referring to Shawn] I talk, he sleeps. Its just like class.
Topanga: Somebody has to find a way out. Eric: Fine. I'll do it. I'm the oldest. Jack: Actually, I'm the oldest. Eric: Yeah, but I've lived the longest.
Jonathan Turner: When they kick you out of your apartment, you'll always have a place to stay. Mr. Williams: I appreciate that. Jonathan Turner: Yeah, the park across the street.
[Eric is asked how he afforded a huge wedding] Eric: So I'm picking up the tuxes, and I see that they're setting up for this big Peterman wedding next door. Rachel McGuire: Wait - "disposable diaper" Petermans? Eric: Yeah, them Petermans. Rachel McGuire: But their wedding is, like, the social event of the year. Eric: Yeah, well... now it's not. Jack: What did you do? Eric: Nothing, really. I just called the operator and asked for the number to the hotel, and while I was waiting, I noticed there was a little shmutz on the end of the phone. I couldn't tell whether it was dried vomit or gum. It *tasted* more like gum... Jack: Get on with it! Eric: Anyway, I told them that I was E.J. Peterman and that my daughter had to get married right away because she was pregnant. So drink up, guys, 'cause this is gonna hit the fan in, like, two seconds...
[repeated line] Jonathan Turner: Are you kidding me?
Cory: An operation? Operations are bad. Do you remember our cat, Fluffy. He died during an operation. Eric: Cory, Fluffy fell out of a tree. They were trying to sew his head back on.
Jonathan Turner: Anybody you like. Cory: Anybody? Jonathan Turner: Anybody. Cory: Absolutely anybody? Jonathan Turner: Absolutely anybody. Cory: I pick Shawn. Shawn Hunter: I pick Cory. Topanga: You know, you walked right into that. Jonathan Turner: I did, didn't I?
Cory: I never asked to be the man in this relationship.
[Mr. Feeny has just given Eric back his paper] Eric: Oh... Mr. Feeny, you didn't finish your sentence. A... what?
Eric: [to Cory] Hey, be careful. Not that I care.
Alan Matthews: [Morgan is going out on a date with a boy in the 8th grade] The 8th grade? What's wrong with the boys in the 5th grade? Morgan Matthews: I'm in the 7th grade, Dad!
[Topanga is interviewing Shawn about love] Shawn Hunter: Well, love is the most rare and precious thing in the whole world. Topanga: Have you ever fallen in love? Shawn Hunter: About five times a day.
Mr. George Feeny: [finishing a speech] And that, Mr. Hunter, is how babies are made. Shawn Hunter: I still don't believe it.
Cory: I miss Linda Shawn: Yeah, I miss Linda too... and Stacey. Cory: And Debbie. Shawn: Yeah, and Debbie. Cory: There is no Debbie! Shawn: Huh? Then how come I miss her so much? Cory: Because you're nuts!
Cory: Eric? Eric: How did you find me? Cory: You live here.
Little boy: I just want to have my picture taken, so I can send it to my grandma so she sends me a check. Eric: After she sends the check, tell her she forgot the check. Works every time.
Shawn Hunter: No kissy? Cory: Just talky.
Mr. George Feeny: Nebraska, Mr. Hunter, Nebraska! Shawn Hunter: That's the 75th state. Major exports: tortias.
Cory: Listen, I want you to know that I am completely secure in our relationship, and if you want to spend your summer away at camp, I am totally okay with it. Topanga: That is so mature. Cory: 'cause I'm going with ya. Topanga: Cory, it's an all girls camp. Cory: What time's swim'n?
Eric: Hey, what's up with the Weasel? She's locked herself in the bathroom singing, "On the first day of Christmas, I murdered Santa Claus.".
Eric: I married a moose.
Eric: Guess who's got pictures of Cory running naked through the sprinkler? Cory: Eric, I was four. Eric: You were twelve. Cory: It was... refreshing.
Alan Matthews: Things aren't always easy in the real world. Eric: I'm going to Yale. I'm going to Yale. Alan Matthews: It's a little easier in his world
Chet Hunter: I had and idea for a news channel to broadcast news 24 hours a day all over the world. Topanga: You invented "CNN"? Chet Hunter: Yes. "Chet's News Network". But I made the mistake of blabbing my idea to a southern man on an elevator. [Chet turns to Mr. Turner] Chet Hunter: Uh, what's your last name again? Mr. Turner: "Turner"... No relation.
Angela Moore: My soap opera name is Shinaynay Martin Luther King Boulevard... Boy, I've got to get some black friends.
Shawn Hunter: And I guess I've been taking it pretty hard, and I'm sorry I disrupted the class and killed everyone.
[about to take a picture for the yearbook] Eric: Dumped. Cory: Dumped. Shawn Hunter: Cheese.
[after Topanga changes the rear-view mirror position while Cory drives and Cory makes her change it back] Cory: Great! Now I can see if there are any cars coming up my crotch!
Cory: You get Feeny this year? Shawn: Yeah. You? Cory: Yeah. Which courses? Shawn: All of them. Cory: Yeah, me too.
Shawn: Okay, all right lets calmly recap. Eric: Kenny's dead, Feeny's dead, we're trapped inside with the killer.
Shawn: Where do you think we stand? Cory: We're lowly, 7th grade sewer scum who name rats after ourselves to feel important. Shawn: And how do you feel about this? Cory: Better than the guys with no rats.
Cory: Did you guys see Feeny out there? Eric: Nope, not a sole, actually it was kinda creepy. Topanga: Why Creepy? Why is it creepy? Why did you say creepy? Why creepy?
[Cory thinks he is turning into a werewolf] Madame Mosbenskias: Come to me, Werewolf Boy. Cory: You know. Madame Mosbenskias: I know many things, I know you were bitten by a wolf. Cory: It's true. Madame Mosbenskias: I know you are now becoming a wolf. Cory: That's amazing. Madame Mosbenskias: I know you are recently divorced. Cory: What? Madame Mosbenskias: You're not Billy Joel? Cory: No. Madame Mosbenskias: Well, then, you're just a wolf.
Shawn Hunter: Mr. Feeny, I'm sure if you recall the pain of being stabbed in the back by a girlfriend. Topanga: I didn't stab him, he stabbed me. Cory: Oh, I'd stab myself before I'd stab you. Kenny, give me a pencil. Kenny: I don't have one!
Eric: If stupidity were in the Olympics, you'd win a Nobel Prize.
Topanga: I'm a damsel, but not the distressed kind, one who's totally calm and in complete control of her own destiny.
Cory: So they got Hunter kidnapped, and handcuffed to a pole, and I have to step in and save Shawn's butt, because I have a way with women, as you can probably tell by the fact that I've never been more available in my life. Tickets go on sale at the box office.
Harley: How come last night you kept me waiting for 20 minutes outside your house? Gloria: How come you parked outside my house, honked the horn, and didn't come in? Harley: Because maybe I saw your father standing by the door and I didn't feel like saying hello. Gloria: That was my mother. Harley: Then I definitely don't wanna meet your father.
Shawn: Cory, I have got something incredible to tell you. But for security reasons, I am going to use our code. Cory: Well, we don't have a code, Shawn. Shawn: Really? Guys like us should have a code. Cory: Well, you know, we'll bring that up at the next meeting. Shawn: So when's our next meeting? Cory: Shawn, we don't have meetings! Shawn: This club blows!
Shawn: I can't believe it, Feeny locked us in. Cory: He can't do that. It's against the Geneva Detention Convention.
Jonathan Turner: I carry this helmet to keep my head from going splat. Why do you carry that guitar case? Cory: To protect my sandwich
Cory: Chickens in the hallway. Chickens in the hallway. Somebody must have let 'em loose as the official senior prank. Look at 'em. Look at 'em. Oh, look at the chickens. Oh my gosh, this is crazy. I wonder which crazy senior though this up, huh? This is nuts.
Amy Matthews: Alan, remember how we were worried about Eric's F-U-T-U-R-E? Eric: Oh mom, you don't have to worry about my furniture.
Cory: [in the principal's office] Now my name is Johnny Baboon, at least my life can't get any worse Mr. George Feeny: [turns from his desk chair] Wrong again... Mr. Baboon Cory: MR. FEENY! Mr. George Feeny: The legend continues Cory: How can this be, you're only temporary right, you don't have the full authority to authorize detention or caning, right? Mr. George Feeny: Oh, the school board and its infinite wisdom has been set to give me full authority
[Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Angela, Eric, and Jack are trapped in the high school with a murderer. He has just now murdered Mr. Feeny. They are hiding in a classroom trying to figure out what to do next] Topanga: Feeny's dead... Feeny's dead! Mr. Feeny is dead! Cory: Feeny can't die, how can Feeny die? Shawn Hunter: He was the first suspect. It's my fault, the second I suspected him, I signed his death warrant. Angela: Well, is any one of us safe? Shawn Hunter: Yeah, virgins. Virgins never die. Cory: All right! [to Topanga] Cory: Thanks for saving me. Eric: [happily] I'm dead! Jack: I'm dead. Shawn Hunter: I'll get as sick as you can get without actually... dying. Angela: Feeny, he's dead. [Eric and Shawn lock eyes, thinking the exact same thing] Eric: All right! Shawn Hunter, Eric: [cheering and signing] Go, Feeny, go, Feeny, go... Cory: [annoyed] Okay! Listen. As happy as I am for Feeny, I am scared to death here.
[Harley's about to beat up Cory and Shawn when Shawn sees Gloria] Shawn: Harley, why would you waste your time beating us up when you could be spending your time with Claudia Schiffer's cuter younger sister. Gloria: Well, I wouldn't say cuter. Harley: Turn it off. Shawn: Turning it off, sir.
Cory: You see, my mom's mad at my dad because he got her a trash compactor for their anniversary. Harley: What a yutz. Gloria: Oh, yeah. That's a long way away from tires.
Chet Hunter: I got two stupid boys. Y'all embarrass me in front of my dead friends
[after reading a message written with blood on the chalkboard] Shawn Hunter: It's Feeny. Topanga: There's blood on the black board, Shawn. I don't think it's because he ran out of chalk!
Cory: Shawn, I refuse to believe anything from those idiotic supermarket tabloids. Shawn Hunter: It's the New York Times, baby. Cory: The New York Times trailer park edition. Shawn Hunter: It's exactly the same thing, except you can eat it.
Cory: [his grandma gets him a baseball card] Where did you get this? Grandma Matthews: Where did I get it? I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die... Then, I pulled this card out of his cold, dead fingers... Or I bought it at a swap meet for six bucks, you make the call!
Shawn Hunter: [Cory and Shawn imagine themselves as old men; they are in Chubby's] So how long have you been married? Cory: What? Shawn Hunter: [louder] How long you been married? Cory: Who? Shawn Hunter: [shouting] How long you been married? Cory: They *want* you to take the rolls!
[all said very fast] Joey: That's a good one, Harley. That's a great one. I'll be laughing at that one for years and years. I'll probably be telling my grandkids about it, like sixty years from now. Unless of course, if I don't have grandkids, and then I suppose I'll have to tell some strange kids in a park. And the cops'll come and say, "Hey, you in the raincoat... " Harley: Shut up.
