- Mr. George Feeny: You can't tell Cory and Topanga what to do. I've been trying to do that since the first grade. I remember when I tried to separate their desks. She kicked me. He bit me. And some little punk kept saying "Leave 'em alone. They should get married."
- Shawn Hunter: I was cute then, huh?
- Mr. George Feeny: Precious.
- Cory Matthews: Topanga, listen. I want to be with you more than anything in the world, okay? But I cannot let you give up Yale for me.
- Topanga Lawrence: Do you honestly want me to go to Yale?
- Cory Matthews: No.
- Topanga Lawrence: Then shut up about it.
- Shawn Hunter: [to Cory about Topanga proposing to him] Hey, I don't blame you. You know, if Angela asked me that in the middle of my graduation, I'd wet my gown, too.
- Shawn Hunter: [to Cory about Topanga's marriage proposal] Marry her.
- Cory Matthews: What?
- Shawn Hunter: I think you should marry her.
- Cory Matthews: Shawn, that's not what you're supposed to say. You're supposed to say that you think we're crazy.
- Shawn Hunter: Well, you're crazy if you think you haven't been married to her your entire life. You might as well get presents.
- Cory Matthews: Well, I do need a new toaster.
- Alan Matthews: [to Cory] I think you and Shawn will be very happy together as roommates.
- Topanga Lawrence: You and Shawn? What about us?
- Amy Matthews: Topanga, I don't think the school would allow you and Cory to be roommates unless you were married.
- [laughs]
- Cory Matthews: [to Shawn] Here's where I'm dead.
- Alan Matthews: Whose idiot idea was this?
- Cory Matthews: Mine. It was my idiot idea. It's my idiot life and I have the right to decide if I want to be a married idiot.
- Topanga Lawrence: I asked Cory to marry me.
- Cory Matthews: Please don't yell at my fiancee.
- Amy Matthews: [to Cory] We have paid for your food, for your clothes, for your phone, for your car insurance...
- Alan Matthews: You think you can handle all that?
- Cory Matthews: You know what? You two got married when you were my age, right?
- Alan Matthews: I was a dope.
- [Amy glares at him]
- Alan Matthews: I take that back. What I mean, what I'm trying to say is think of all the things in life you'll be missing out on.
- Cory Matthews: Dad, Topanga and I...
- Alan Matthews: No, no, you think you know what you want from your life, huh? You think you've got it all figured out. Well, things don't always turn out the way you plan. So, if you're going to do this, you better prepare to make sacrifices.
- Amy Matthews: What sacrifices did you make, Alan?
- Topanga Lawrence: Well, they're taking it better than I thought.
- Cory Matthews: Well, it isn't for them to decide. Okay, this is our lives, Topanga. Nobody is going to tell us what to do. Come on. We're getting married.
- Topanga Lawrence: [When Cory and Topanga decide to elope] Cory, are you positive you want to do this?
- Cory Matthews: We're in the car, aren't we?
- Topanga Lawrence: Yeah, I know, but you're not just doing this because your parents are against it?
- Cory Matthews: Topanga, I told you, it's my life. I decide what I want to do with it.
- Topanga Lawrence: What happens when you get to college and you see everybody meeting each other and dating and having fun? Are you going to wish you could be doing the same thing?
- Cory Matthews: Well, it didn't faze me in high school, why should it faze me now?
- Topanga Lawrence: Cory, you had your heart set on this big, romantic wedding.
- Cory Matthews: Listen, Topanga, I can't think of anything more romantic than sneaking off to a quiet little wedding chapel in the country. I want to marry you. That's what I have my heart set on. I do.
- Topanga Lawrence: Then why did you pass the exit?
- Cory Matthews: Stop hounding me.
- Mr. George Feeny: The point is, your advice came from a good place, but Cory and Topanga aren't in the first grade anymore. They made their own decision and I think they'll be fine because they've been well brought up.
- Alan Matthews: And well taught.
- Shawn Hunter: Well, I've done the best I can.
- Topanga Lawrence: [to Cory] So when do you want to do it?
- Cory Matthews: Do what?
- Topanga Lawrence: Get married, Cory.
- Cory Matthews: Topanga, I don't know. I haven't even had time to think...
- Topanga Lawrence: How about right away?
- Cory Matthews: Right away? Right away when?
- Topanga Lawrence: Cory, we've been dating each other since we were two. We've both had a chance to be with other people.
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, I wonder what she's doing.
- [Topanga hits Cory on the arm]
- Topanga Lawrence: Do you think we'll be together for the rest of our lives?
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, I know we will.
- Topanga Lawrence: So do I. We're not like other people, Cory. We're weird.
- Eric Matthews: There's no more to life than naked ladies except maybe naked ladies that wear really tight shirts and really tight pants.
- Topanga Lawrence: Cory and I are getting married.
- Alan Matthews: Are you out of your minds?
- Amy Matthews: Why?
- Shawn Hunter: 'Cause they love each other.
- Angela Moore: No, that's not a reason. They are too young.
- Alan Matthews: [to Cory] You can't even clean up your room.
- Cory Matthews: I'm going to get to it.
- Eric Matthews: All right, listen. The chances that Cory could find a woman like Topanga are, like, one in a million.
- Shawn Hunter: There's nobody better.
- Shawn Hunter: Well, it's true.
- Amy Matthews: Oh, we all love Topanga. That's not the issue.
- Eric Matthews: Yes, but, see, in a few years, she's going to dry up. She's going to get all wrinkly. Might as well just grab her while she's still smooth. Am I right there, Dad?
- Alan Matthews: You're an imbecile.
- Amy Matthews: [to Alan] Remember when we told your father we were going to get married? What did we do?
- Alan Matthews: Well, that was different. I mean, he was stubborn, totally set against it, wouldn't listen to anything we had to...
- [comes to a realization]
- Alan Matthews: Oh, boy! Oh, boy.
- Eric Matthews: We have to support Cory and Topanga and accept this marriage. We can't push them out of our lives like we pushed them to elope. They love each other, and they belong together, just like me and Rachel.
- Alan Matthews: Who's Rachel?
- Eric Matthews: She's my beautiful new roommate angel.
- Amy Matthews: [about Cory and Topanga eloping] Oh, it's all my fault. I came down way too hard on them. I... I made them do it.
- Alan Matthews: I'm the one that jumped all over them. Cory stood up to me like a man and I just shot him down.
- Shawn Hunter: No, no. Cory came to me for advice. He wanted me to tell him to wait. I told him to go ahead and get married.
- Angela Moore: Well, hey, don't look at me. I said all the right things, but it didn't matter.
