Quotes 

• Dominique : I don't understand.

  Eric Matthews : It's over. I can't see you anymore.

  Dominique : But you're in the book. No, no, no, no, no. Come sit. We'll talk while I shampoo.

  [Eric sits for a moment but then stands up] 

  Eric Matthews : No! No, Dominique! Look. What we had was wrong and I have to walk out of here with a dry head.

  Dominique : But one quick. No one has to know.

  Eric Matthews : I'd know! Dominique, don't you see? One of us has to be strong and it has to be me. So don't make me do something we're both gonna regret.

  Eric Matthews : Eric, you're making me angry. I will be very rough with you.

  Eric Matthews : Okay!

  [He sits back down] 

  Dominique : Good boy.

• Eric Matthews : Hey, I can get a haircut! As many as I want!

• Eric Matthews : Jason, I'm going nuts, The more I try to study, the more I think about girls. Look at this. History, perfect example. Look at this.

  [He shows Jason his textbook] 

  Eric Matthews : Queen Victoria, Catherine the Great, Madame Curie. Are they yummy or what?

  Jason Marsden : Yummy!

  Eric Matthews : Oh, and who is this raven-haired beauty?

  Jason Marsden : That's Leonardo da Vinci. Stop that, you're scaring me.

• Eric Matthews : Look at me, I'm alone.

  Alan Matthews : And you will be until these grades come up. Now, until I see some letters closer to the front of the alphabet, you're not going out on any more dates.

  Eric Matthews : Mom... Mommy...

  [He sinks into Amy's embrace, looking pitiful] 

  Amy Matthews : [She strokes Eric's hair, gently]  Oh, Alan, how can you be so cruel to my sweet little baby?

  Alan Matthews : Well, it was your idea.

  [Amy smiles evilly and Eric looks surprised as their eyes meet] 

  Alan Matthews : Eric, you can't rely on your looks to get you through life.

  Eric Matthews : But all I want to be is a weatherman. Okay, look, you guys made a valid point about my grades. But now I'd like the opportunity to present a compelling counter-argument you may not have considered.

  Amy Matthews : Go ahead.

  Eric Matthews : [Immediately starts crying]  Don't take away my girls!
