- Dwight Mendenhall: How can anybody attack a helpless sousaphone? The sousaphone's only function in life was to keep the beat.
- Mrs. Berg: 25 years I've been at this school. I've never seen vandalism like this.
- Miss Sherwood: We have no protection, no guards, no budget to speak of, and now... no supplies.
- Mrs. Berg: [the teacher's office has been trashed] I feel just like somebody came into my home. Noone ever went into these files before, not even Mr. Dyrenforth.
- Mr. Dyrenforth: I know what you mean, Mrs. Berg. They smashed my favorite chair to bits. The one I brought in myself, not Quintin Morloch's old chair, my chair. It'll never be the same.
- Lydia Grant: Why you all want to waste your time on a trashy movie? I could've got you house tickets to see Chekhov's Three Sisters tonight.
- Reggie Higgins: Oh, Miss Grant, Chekhov will be here forever, trash is fleeting.
- Mr. Dyrenforth: Now that's what I call a negative attitude.
- Mrs. Berg: Negative, Shmegative. I know when I'm licked.
