Clerk:
I'm sorry, we don't give that kind of information.
Eric:
Really? Well...
[produces $1]
Eric:
Perhaps my friend Mr. Washington will help you change your mind.
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.
Cory:
There's no such thing as good news until I've had my Grape Nuts.
Cory:
We're gonna have a child? Wait, we've only kissed. I mean, I knew I was a good kisser, but *wow*.

Topanga:
Do you think this is funny?
Cory:
No, I think it's the opposite of funny. I think it's... wood.
[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]
Eric, Shawn Hunter, Jack:
[gasp] Topanga!
Eric:
Oh Mary-Anne, I wish to make out with thee
[pitchfork is thrown at him]
Jack:
What an arm!
Eric:
[as driving away] I thought you were friendly people!
Mr. George Feeny:
I love you all,
[pauses]
Mr. George Feeny:
class dismissed.
[about to take a picture for the yearbook]
Eric:
Dumped.
Cory:
Dumped.
Shawn Hunter:
Cheese.
Mr. George Feeny:
Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good
Topanga:
Don't you mean "do well"?
Mr. George Feeny:
No, I mean "do good".
Eric:
So I said to myself, 'Kyle,'...
Alan:
Kyle?
Eric:
That's what I call myself.
Chet Hunter:
I got two stupid boys. Y'all embarrass me in front of my dead friends
[Jack and Eric are dressed up as girls to avoid bullies]
Mr. George Feeny:
Hmm, double d's, just like your grades.
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
Jonathan Turner:
[referring to Shawn] I talk, he sleeps. Its just like class.
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'.
Cory:
So, what's it like to have that kind of money?
Jack:
...Good
[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.
Eric:
How great is this.
Jack:
Do you know how great this is?
Shawn Hunter:
This is great.
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!
Topanga:
Just tell me what you see in the painting, Cory.
Cory:
[peers at Starry Night] I see an attack.
Topanga:
An attack?
Cory:
An attack from another world.
Topanga:
An attack from another world. All right, let's look again. What about the relationship between God and man?
Cory:
Oh, okay. I was about to get there. See, God, unhappy with how some particular humans treat other particular humans who love them, has decided it's the end of the world. And I think he's right.
Topanga:
God is protecting the people in this little town! They live their lives and they come out of their houses, and they see this sky and they know God's protection and love. And that everything will be all right.
Cory:
Listen, how do you expect me to see good in anything when I feel so bad in here?
[indicates heart]
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.
Angela Moore:
I'm going to go over and look at this painting, entitled "Go With Him, He's Cute."
