- Rory: We was all relaxed and happy until she came along. You're a very good looking man, by the way.
- Cory Matthews: Topanga was a very good person.
- Ella Fitzgerald-Kennedy: Yeah, well now she's good and dead.
- Receptionist: She ain't gonna bother us no more!
- Isaac 'Goodshot' Kelly: She was a stress case, man.
- Gumshoe: So somebody killed her. Now it's my job to find out whodunit.
- [Everyone whistles non-chalantly and heads for the door]
- Gumshoe: Hey, hey, hey! Nobody move! You're all suspects.
- [They continue]
- Gumshoe: Alright, you know, don't leave town.
- Cory Matthews: Hold on!
- [Everyone turns]
- Cory Matthews: Okay, you know maybe Topanga was a little annoying. And maybe sometimes she made me a little exasperated. But I never once thought of doing this! Alright, maybe a little. But I never did it! Which is the difference between me
- [turns to face Rory]
- Cory Matthews: and you. Now, tell me. Why did you do it?
- Rory: I did it because she was ruining my good time. She was ruining our entire way of life.
- Isaac 'Goodshot' Kelly: Yeah, she was.
- Receptionist: Yeah!
- Cory Matthews: Why is that? Because in your hearts you knew she was right? Because you knew that even though she'd change you, it'd be for the better? That's why I need her in my life. And you know why she needs me? Get up, Topanga.
- Topanga Matthews: I can't. I'm dead.
- Cory Matthews: No, you're not. This isn't real.
- Gumshoe: I knew that.
- Cory Matthews: This whole thing's a cartoon. It's pretend. But I think it's what you needed.
- Gumshoe: [narrating, in voice over] It was one of those nights. You know the kind. Like day but... darker. We'd had 'em before. Except tonight, somebody was dead. Now, it was my job to catch a murderer and believe me. There were plenty of suspects. Him, her, not the cop, her, him, her, that guy next to her... that guy him and of course the guy with the hat.
- [Gumshoe turns to the camera]
- Gumshoe: Not me. I'm the guy talking.
- Cory Matthews: Cleaning is not relaxation.
- Topanga Matthews: Well, it's better than watching a duck with a speech impediment.
- Cory Matthews: [angry and defensive] Daffy is doing the best he can with what he has, alright?
- Trixie: Is this a bad time?
- Gumshoe: [narrating] I had a feeling that if it wasn't yet, it was gonna be.
- Trixie: Gonna be what?
- Gumshoe: What?
- Trixie: Well, I just heard you say...
- Gumshoe: No, I didn't.
- Trixie: But I heard you.
- Gumshoe: [narrating] She was as stubborn as a mule with twice the kick.
- Trixie: You did it again.
- Gumshoe: Did what?
- Trixie: [thinking] Maybe this was a mistake.
- Gumshoe: What?
- Trixie: I didn't say anything.
- Gumshoe: [thinking, confused] Yes, you did.
- Topanga Matthews: Just because something bad happens doesn't mean you can escape into a fantasy world.
- Topanga Matthews: Cory, you and I have the exact same paper due tommorrow. How is that I'm sitting here studying and your sitting there watching that stupid coyote fall into the grand canyon again?
- Cory Matthews: I wanna make sure he's gonna be alright.
- Topanga Matthews: He's *always* alright!
- Cory Matthews: What if this is the one time he dies?
- Receptionist: Ya got someone to see ya!
- Gumshoe: What do you mean? A case?
- Receptionist: No, silly. A person.
- Topanga Matthews: Responsibility is not popcorn or cartoons!
- Cory Matthews: [mockingly] Wahspons-a-bilwaty ig not popcor' or cartoo's
