Quote from Cory

Shawn: I don't know where I am.
Cory: Sit, darling. Have a nap.

Quote from Shawn

Cory: What's our time constraints?
Shawn: I'm on that too. Fred never spent more than 75 seconds at either location.
Cory: Yeah but you see, Shawn, that was a cartoon. Time was compressed. We're real. We're in real time.
Shawn: Trust me, it's the same thing.
Cory: No, no it's not. You see a television show can cover many days in only one half-hour program.
Shawn: Trust me, it's the same thing.

Quote from Shawn

Mr. Turner: Hey, Hunter. Hey, how were you affected by that reading?
Shawn: I don't wanna go to school, Daddy. Cory's reading poetry.

Quote from Cory

Cory: Topanga.
Topanga: Yes, Cory?
Cory: Slow down, honey. Separate your words.

Quote from Cory

Frankie: That means I need someone like you at my side to give me tips.
Cory: Someone like me, but not me, since I have Topanga's 16th birthday party to go to, which means nothing at all to her, except everything in the world if you listen closely, but I can't make it. Sorry, bud.

Quote from Cory

Shawn: Cory, the need to be in two places at once is a dilemma that dates back thousands of years. Lucky for you, I am a student in such matters.
Cory: So what's this, an instructional Deepak Chopra, Venus and Mars, buy real estate no money down, Ab Reducer, Juice Tiger kind of thing?
Shawn: It's The Flintstones.
Cory: I was gonna say that.

Quote from Shawn

Shawn: This is a classic episode where Fred has to be at Pebbles' birthday party and the big bash at the Water Buffalo Lodge on the same night.
Cory: Oh. I remember being very nervous during this one.
Shawn: Yes, quite a dilemma for our prehistoric friend.

Quote from Cory

Cory: I guess this is where I get hit on the head with a frying pan.
Topanga: Okay, what's he talking about?
Shawn: Flintstones. He had to be at two places at once.
Topanga: Oh, the Water Buffalo, Pebbles episode.
Cory: And you wonder why I love this girl.
