• Cheryl Jenkins : It feels like I haven't seen you in years!

  Miss Nelson : Well, you did see me last night when you were caroling.

  Cheryl Jenkins : I, um... guess that time flies when you're having fun?

• Cheryl Jenkins : Ms. Nelson, can I ask you a crazy question?

  Miss Nelson : Of course! It's not like you haven't done it before. Besides, scientific inquiry demands asking odd questions.

  Cheryl Jenkins : I got a doozy.

• Miss Nelson : That is if you have the time?

  Cheryl Jenkins : Time? Oh, yeah. I've got about five years, give or take.

• Miss Nelson : Can I have my hands back?

• Cheryl Jenkins : I... have a degree in astronomy, and science offers so many careers... about as many as the stars in the sky... So cherish this time in your life because it goes by so fast, and you still have choices. One choice can set you on a path towards your passion, or down the wrong path, and you do not want that. Uh. Well... all I'm saying is... choose wisely.

  George Campbell : All right. I... I'm sure you definitely inspired the students. To what, I have no idea.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Next time, I'll speak more slowly so you can keep up.

  George Campbell : Oh, no, I heard what you said. It's just I didn't get the point.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Wouldn't be the first time.

  Miss Nelson : Students, what we have just experienced here is a perfect example of the scientific term "friction".

• Miss Nelson : George, what do you think about Ms. Jenkins assisting you this week with science club?

  George Campbell : You want us to work together?

  Cheryl Jenkins : Yeah, I... I don't think so.

  George Campbell : Finally, we agree.

• Miss Nelson : For example... instead of me giving you a long chemistry lecture, what if I asked you... to make cookies? Every recipe is a chemical formula. You've got the sugar bonding to the gluten in the flour. There's the chocolate and the vanilla mixing together when you add just the right amount of heat. Chemistry.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Hmm.

  Miss Nelson : You know... people can have chemistry, too... like you and George.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Oh, please. What's the chemical formula for oil and water?

  Miss Nelson : You know, when you first moved away... George asked me about you all the time.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Keeping tabs on the competition, I guess.

  Miss Nelson : You know, I really hope the two of you are enjoying working together, because from where I sit, you are very entertaining.

  Cheryl Jenkins : You have always had a sense of humor.

• Cheryl Jenkins : You make teaching effortless.

  Miss Nelson : Okay. Well, here's another tip. If you can link an idea... to a happy memory... it'll stay with you forever.

  Cheryl Jenkins : Ms. Nelson. You are more irreplaceable than you know.

• Miss Nelson : It's important to hold onto the good people you meet in this life.

• Miss Nelson : Teaching, molding young minds, introducing them to the magic of science. Oh, that never seemed like work to me, never.

• Miss Nelson : The future... is like a big present underneath the Christmas tree. Why ruin the surprise?
