Quote from Shawn
Cory: Where did you learn to speak French?
Shawn: I'm an idiot savant, you didn't know that?
Quote from Shawn
Shawn: How was your night with Topanga?
Cory: Good. 90% good.
Shawn: And the other 20%?
Quote from Cory
Cory: What happened to you?
Shawn: It's the weirdest thing. Last night I'm sitting at Chubbie's, right? I'm looking deep into Paula Balboa's chestnut eyes. I lean forward, about to make my move, when some yahoo hits me in the butt with a dart.
Cory: Ha. Ha. You, you didn't see who it was?
Shawn: No.
Cory: Lot of sick people out there, man.
Quote from Shawn
Cory: I said, "I love you."
Shawn: You idiot! Once word gets around what you told Topanga, every girl's gonna wanna hear it.
Cory: What, "I love you"?
Shawn: Sshh. You're like a stinking canary!
Quote from Shawn
Eric: Oh, man, I gotta do something now. Think.
Shawn: You gotta think, Eric.
Eric: Ow.
Shawn:Thinking cramp?
Eric: Yeah.
Shawn: I get those, too.
Quote from Mr. Feeny
Mr. Williams: Hey, captain, what is your beef?
Mr. Feeny: My beef, captain, is that you just snaked my coffee.
Mr. Williams: Hey, I put my money in, the cup dropped, the coffee poured. It's my coffee.
Mr. Feeny: How much money did you put in?
Mr. Williams: A nickel.
Mr. Feeny: Precisely, a nickel. I had just deposited 75 cents and I turn my back for a moment to get some more change. Give that back.
Quote from Shawn
Shawn: The longer you can go in a relationship without saying those words, the more power you hold. It's in books, man.
Cory: What books are you reading?
Shawn: Men are from Mars, Women want to blow Mars out of the stinking sky.
Quote from Mr. Feeny
Mr. Williams: Man, haven't you put me through enough?
Mr. Feeny: Not nearly. You start on Monday.
Mr. Williams: Start what?
Mr. Feeny: Mr. Williams, you show great passion. I think our students will benefit from a teacher who's actually lived his subject matter. So, congratulations.
Quote from Mr. Feeny
Mr. Feeny: To tell you the truth, Mr. Williams, you remind me of another dedicated young man who was filled with fire and fury.
Mr. Turner: George, you mean me?
Mr. Feeny: I mean me, you egomaniac.
