Quote from Shawn
Shawn: It's a trash can fire. It'll go out by itself or tomorrow when they take out the trash.
Quote from Shawn
Cory: Shawn, it's a chemistry lab. Chemicals explode.
Shawn: Oh, this is bad.
Cory: That's what I'm saying.
Shawn: No, no, no. I ended my paper "In conclusion, chemicals don't explode."
Quote from Cory
Cory: Do you think the student council can really do it, Shawn?
Shawn: What?
Cory: Get the school named after me. Cory Adams High.
Quote from Eric
Eric: Okay. I'd like to start off with a mega big patriot's hello to all my students. Especially you, Christine Wingate, I see you looking at me. Cory Matthews. Cory Matthews. Cory Matthews. Now, what can I say, except, last week Stephanie and I broke up, so I am now single and available. Call Me. Cory Matthews, a hero!
Quote from Shawn
Alan: Hey, everybody told us. That phone hasn't stopped ringing all day.
Shawn: Well then why didn't you just answer it?
Quote from Cory
Cory: Or could it be losing half my pants on the barbed wire?
Shawn: I don't know why you didn't just walk through the gate like I did.
Cory: It was too easy. It looked like a trap.
Quote from Cory
Cory: This is the lowpoint of my life. After this I'm going straight to hell. And you know what the worst part is?
Shawn: What?
Cory: They'll expect me to put out the fire.
Quote from Shawn
Cory: I got an A, Shawn.
Shawn: Wow, a D, I'm riding your coattails.
