Quotes 

• Topanga Lawrence : You know what I want Cory? I want my good name back.

  Cory : Well, some people would argue that Topanga's not the best name to begin with.

• Topanga Lawrence : [on phone]  Hi, Mom? I'm at Cory's. Yeah we're gonna finish the project over here. They'll give me a ride home as soon as we've finished working. Okay bye.

  Topanga Lawrence : [she hangs up and then to Cory] 

  Topanga Lawrence : This way she won't make me come home for dinner and we can get some more work done.

  Cory : Not bad. Now watch the king.

  Cory : [on phone]  Hi, mom? I'm at Cory's. D'oh!

• Janitor Bud : [Janitor Bud brings Mr. Feeny into a school closet where Cory and Topanga are sleeping]  I tried poking them with my mop. Nothing.

  Mr. George Feeny : Ahem.

  [Cory and Topanga slowly start to wake up] 

  Cory Matthews : Five more minutes, Mom...

  [Suddenly aware of where he is, he opens his eyes wide and looks at Mr. Feeny] 

  Mr. George Feeny : Good morning, sunshine. Breakfast is on the table. Today we're having a big bowl of sugar frosted you've-got-a-lot-of-explaining-to-do.

• Shawn Hunter : It's better if you like a girl who likes you more than you like her 'cause then she'll pay for stuff and if she's paying, love is way cool.

  Topanga Lawrence : That's disgusting!

  Cory : [smiling]  He's my best friend

• Cory : [in the video]  Hi. Look, I didn't want to be in this documentary, because I didn't have that much to say about sex and all.

  Topanga Lawrence : [turns to Cory in the classroom]  What's this?

  Cory : The special director's cut.

  Cory : [in the video]  And the reason that I don't have that much to say about sex, is because I don't have a lot of experience in that area. Some people think I do, but I don't. And if let some people think that I have some experience with someone, well... you know, it really isn't fair to that person I didn't have that experience with.

  Mr. George Feeny : [in the classroom, to Mr. Turner]  Well, perhaps this project is gonna serve some purpose after all. I'm shocked.

  Jonathan Turner : Me too.

  Cory : [in the video]  So I'd like to say I'm sorry to that person. And I should've acted more mature. You know, maybe we haven't come as far as we think in the last 400 years. Okay, cut it, Shawn. Stop the camera, Shawn.

  Shawn Hunter : Okay, now, tell her how much you love her.

  Cory : Shut up, I do not.

  Shawn Hunter : Then why would you do this for her, if you don't love her?

  Cory : Because she's my friend.

  [Shawn makes sarcastic kissing noises against his hand] 

  Cory : Stop the camera, Shawn! Shawn!

  [Topanga turns to Cory in the classroom] 

  Cory : Friend?

  Topanga Lawrence : Friend.

  [they shake hands] 

• Mr. George Feeny : [on the phone]  Yes, yes, they are both fine, Amy. Now, be patient, you'll have your chance with them after I have mine. Take care now.

  Cory Matthews : Mr. Feeny, I gotta go change, I gotta go shower. If you don't let me go home, I'm gonna be late for school.

  Mr. George Feeny : Sit! Now, the two of you spent the night unsupervised on school property.

  Cory Matthews : Oh, Mr. Feeny, what do you think happ... Oh, my God!

  Topanga Lawrence : Mr. Feeny, nothing happened. How could you think that? We're totally innocent. Tell him, Cory.

  Cory Matthews : Oh, my God!

  Topanga Lawrence : Mr. Feeny, we were working late on our documentary. I fell asleep, then Cory fell asleep. That was it.

  Mr. George Feeny : Serious violations like this call for swift, decisive action. Uh... While I decide what that is, you're both dismissed for the rest of the day.

• Jonathan Turner : You got this innocent young girl and somebody says that she slept with this other guy, right? And her reputation is shot and we think she's killed herself. Now where are you going to find this kind of stuff?

  Topanga Lawrence : Melrose Place?

  Shawn Hunter : NYPD Blue?

  Cory Matthews : Barney?

  [Everyone stares at him] 

  Cory Matthews : My sister says he's gotten edgier.

• Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Hey, hey, hey, Matthews. What the heck you doing here?

  Cory Matthews : Oh, we're making a documentary. It's about what everybody thinks about love and stuff.

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Hey, that's cool. What's it about?

  Cory Matthews : I'll show it to you when it's done.

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Can I be in it?

  Cory Matthews : You're in it now.

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : You gonna ask me a question?

  Cory Matthews : Ok. What do you have to say about men and women and... huh... you know?

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Ok. Sex is very beautiful. Especially within the confines of a loving, monogamous relationship. Preferably marriage.

  Cory Matthews : That's really nice.

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Hey, thanks. Hey, is it all right if I say hi to my kids?

• Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : Joey tells me you're shooting a documentary in my hallway. Did I say you could shoot a documentary in my hallway?

  Cory Matthews : It's OK. It's for school.

  Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : Yeah, yeah... school. But nevertheless, here I see you shooting without the proper permits.

  Cory Matthews : Permits?

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Yeah, I think what Harley's gonna need here is a location plus new equipment rental fee.

  Cory Matthews : How much is that?

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : How much you got?

  Cory Matthews : Three bucks.

  Joseph 'Joey the Rat' Epstein : Three bucks. But if you let Harley pound your face, maybe we could work out a discount.

  Cory Matthews : Harley, you know, maybe we can avoid all this money and face-pounding if you felt personally involved in the project.

  Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : What are you saying?

  Cory Matthews : I'm saying I'd put you in the film. Picture it. Sex, starring Harley Keiner.

  Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : Okay, Baboon. Make me a star.

• Cory Matthews : What's more important, love or... you know... the other thing?

  Jonathan Turner : Love, Love is the most important thing in the world, Matthews. And love is the only thing that makes sex worth having.

  Cory Matthews : Have you ever been in love?

  Jonathan Turner : Not yet, but it's something I'm hoping for and I know it'll happen.

  Cory Matthews : So... Have you ever had... you know... the other thing?

  Jonathan Turner : What?

  Cory Matthews : Have you ever had... you know? Because you said you've never been in love. And if you had... you know... when you weren't in love then "you know" must not have been any good.

  Jonathan Turner : Who are you, Mike Wallace?

• Cory Matthews : Just because some guy says something about some girl, the girl wants to kill herself over it? They say that stuff about Heather Locklear every week and she doesn't want to kill herself. She's on the cover of TV Guide.

  Jonathan Turner : You're right Matthews.

  Cory Matthews : I'm right?

  Jonathan Turner : No, you're exactly right.

  Cory Matthews : So am I done with my education? Can I go?

• Mr. George Feeny : [clears his throat] 

  Cory : Five more minutes mom.

  Mr. George Feeny : Goood Morning sunshine. Breakfast is on the table. We're having a big bowl of sugar frosted, you've got a lot of explaining to do.

• Jonathan Turner : The school's got video equipment, so let's wear it out, okay? We'll split into teams of two. I want a video report. Interview your friends, your families and each other. Let's just see who's got the most mature attitudes - Shakespeare or us.

  Cory : Us.

  Jonathan Turner : Really? Okay, my... mature... young friends. Pick partners.

  [Cory turns to Shawn] 

  Jonathan Turner : Uh! Boy-girl pairs.

  [Topanga turns to Cory, who smiles innocently, knowing he has no choice]
