Quotes 

• Ms. Kelly : Good afternoon, class. I'm Ms. Kelly, and I'll be filling in for Mr. Dubin for the next few days.

  Shawn Hunter : On behalf of the entire class, I'd like to say... stay as long as you like.

  Ms. Kelly : Now, right now, you seem to be covering...

  Shawn Hunter : CPR, and I'm today's dummy.

  Ms. Kelly : No, actually, we seem to be up to human reproduction, which I hope we can discuss in a mature fashion.

  [Some students in the class giggle] 

  Shawn Hunter : Oh, stop being so young. You know, I'm not as young as they are. I've stayed back, like, 50 times.

  Ms. Kelly : Really? How old are you?

  Shawn Hunter : 24?

  Ms. Kelly : Really? What are you doing in a seventh-grade classroom?

  Shawn Hunter : I'm a cop.

  Ms. Kelly : Sit down.

  Ms. Kelly : All right, but I'm watching you.

• Shawn Hunter : Stop obsessing, man. You're gonna pop a lobe.

  Cory Matthews : You're right. I should relax, 'cause this coupling thing, it's just a phase. I mean, how long can it last... a few weeks?

  Jonathan Turner : [Enters walking with Ms. Kelly]  The cafeteria's right this way. They know me there. I'll get us a good table.

  Ms. Kelly : You would do that for me?

  Jonathan Turner : Oh, yeah. I'm very tight with Bertha, the lunchroom lady. Yeah, I once rescued a dolphin from her hair net.

  Cory Matthews : OK, maybe it'll last a few years.

  George Feeny : [Enters walking with an older, female teacher]  Yes, I'm acting principal now, and the pressures would be daunting for a man half my age. Fortunately I have a vitality that belies my years.

  Cory Matthews : I'm the only one who doesn't know how it's done.

• Jonathan Turner : So we find, in Fielding's novel, the character Tom Jones is absolutely irresistible to women. Isn't that right, Matthews?

  Cory Matthews : Uh, yeah, that's right.

  Jonathan Turner : What's right?

  Cory Matthews : What you just said.

  Jonathan Turner : What'd I just say?

  Cory Matthews : You weren't listening, either?

  Jonathan Turner : Matthews, keep your head facing this way. Shawn, tell your buddy what I was saying.

  Shawn Hunter : Uh, he was saying, "Matthews, you're not listening."

  Jonathan Turner : Thank you. Did either of you guys do the reading assignment?

  Cory Matthews : Some of it.

  Jonathan Turner : What did you read?

  Cory Matthews : I read the page you handed us with the reading assignment on it.

  [bell rings] 

  Jonathan Turner : Yay! Yay!
