Quotes 

• Jimmy Brooks : Degrassi Panthers, Jimmy Brooks is on the prowl.

• Jimmy Brooks : Ms. Kwan, please. Let me make the team first, then I'll give you my autograph.

  Ms. Laura Kwan : How about you give me your English assignment instead?

  Jimmy Brooks : My assignment, right. I wanted to talk to you about that.

  Ms. Laura Kwan : Jimmy, I already gave you an extension. You did read chapter 8 for today, right?

  Jimmy Brooks : Of course. I'm totally on top of the reading. It's just the actual work.

  Ms. Laura Kwan : Jimmy, you're falling seriously behind. I'm concerned you're not up to juggling both academics and sports.

  Jimmy Brooks : Oh, but juggling is a sport, Ms. Kwan. There's nothing to worry about, I'm fine.

• Jimmy Brooks : [to Spinner]  I'm doomed, man.

  Gavin 'Spinner' Mason : Come on. Ms. Kwan can't stop you from playing. She's an English teacher.

  Jimmy Brooks : My English teacher who's threatening to talk to my coach who needs to cut three players.

  Gavin 'Spinner' Mason : Jimmy, you're a total natural. Coach Armstrong's not gonna cut you. Just try harder at school.

  Jimmy Brooks : School that's my problem. It's totally in the way. I concentrate on English, my playing is crap. Concentrate on basketball and I don't have enough time to do my homework. It's a no win situation.

  Gavin 'Spinner' Mason : Got that right. It's a Catch 42.

  Jimmy Brooks : Catch 22.

• Jimmy Brooks : Wish there was a pill I could take, one that would boost me up.

  Gavin 'Spinner' Mason : Ritalin would boost you up, big time. It's like 50 cups of coffee.

  Jimmy Brooks : I thought it was supposed to calm people down.

  Gavin 'Spinner' Mason : It does calm me down. Has to do with something with the configuration of my brain.

  Jimmy Brooks : You have a brain?
