Riley Matthews : Hi!
Mr. Turner : Hi.
Riley Matthews : We love Harper. Do you understand, Uncle Jon?

Riley Matthews : He comes over like a million times...
[turns to Turner]
Principal Yancy : I withdraw my complaint.

Maya Hart : Where's Garaboski?
Lucas Friar : Uh oh.
Riley Matthews : Did we do it?
Farkle Minkus : Did we finally break him?
[Cory walks in]
Cory Matthews : You broke him!
[class cheers]
Cory Matthews : Quiet! Mr. Garaboski retired yesterday.
[class cheers again]
Cory Matthews : Quiet! The guy survives Vietnam *and* *Mrs.* Garaboski, and he can't get past you. Now, he left a letter here that expressed his feelings. "Dear you little"- okay, I can't read this.
Lucas Friar : He always talked about the good old days, before 1985.
Riley Matthews : What happened in 1985?

Topanga Matthews : Girls, slow down! What is the rush?
Maya Hart : Dinner is keeping us from our homework.
Riley Matthews : The new English teacher wants us to read this.
Topanga Matthews : This looks like a comic book.
Cory Matthews : Yes!
Topanga Matthews : Didn't we have a teacher who taught us...
Cory Matthews : Yes!
Topanga Matthews : Tell me more about this new English teacher.
Riley Matthews : Motorcycle.
Maya Hart : Leather jacket.
Topanga Matthews : Sounds familiar...
[turns to Cory]
Topanga Matthews : Weren't you on the committee to hire the new English teacher?
Cory Matthews : Yes!
-
Topanga Matthews : Not all history repeats itself, Cory.
Riley Matthews : Why, what happened to you guys?
Topanga Matthews : Well, we had a pretty cool teacher once.
Riley Matthews : Feenay!
Topanga Matthews : No, we actually had *one* other teacher.
Maya Hart : Did that teacher get along with the principal?
Topanga Matthews : Feeny was the principal.
Auggie Matthews : Feeny taught you every year and was also your principal?
Cory Matthews : Yes!
Auggie Matthews : That would never happen today!
Cory Matthews : We'll see!
-
Maya Hart : Riley, stop me right now.
Riley Matthews : From what?
Maya Hart : I can't like a teacher, I'm Maya.
Riley Matthews : It's a good day, Maya. School got better, and now nothing bad is ever going to happen again.
[Principal Yancy walks in]
Principal Yancy : Ah! I'm passing by your classroom on this, your very first day, and I can't help noticing that somebody has a comic book. That everybody has a comic book.
Farkle Minkus : They're graphic novels.
Principal Yancy : Pipe down, Farkle.
Farkle Minkus : I think Harper's trying to teach us something important.
Principal Yancy : Oh, *Harper* is, hm? Well, she's not. It isn't literature, it's comic books, which are against school policy, Ms. Burgess. And so is calling Ms. Burgess by her first name! You will gather these up, and you will teach something important.
[sees a book]
Principal Yancy : "To Kill a Mockingbird"? Are you familiar with this?
Harper Burgess : I know this book.
Principal Yancy : Then teach it, Ms. Burgess.
[exits classroom]
Harper Burgess : So... "The Dark Knight Returns"!

Riley Matthews : You know what else is cool? Uncle Jon used to take care of Shawn when he was younger.
Maya Hart : Ya don't say?
Riley Matthews : I do say. And my dad said that they were really good for each other.
Auggie Matthews : Okay Riley, I finished this Archie comic you gave me.
Riley Matthews : I wanted to start him on the road to good books.
Maya Hart : What'd you learn from it, Auggs?
Auggie Matthews : Well, this dark haired girl and this blond girl both like the same boy and they all stay best friends. Could that really happen?
Riley Matthews : ...Nah.
Maya Hart : ...Okay.
-
Auggie Matthews : He was one of your teachers, Mommy?
Topanga Matthews : Yeah. Mr. Turner helped me learn everything I know.
Auggie Matthews : She knows everything.
Mr. Turner : I know.
Auggie Matthews : Was my daddy a good student?
Mr. Turner : He was a wonderful student.
Topanga Matthews : Why would you lie to my kid?
Mr. Turner : He tried his best.
Topanga Matthews : Why would you lie to my kid?
Mr. Turner : He was so bad, he became a teacher so he could go back to school again.
Maya Hart : So... word has it, you took care of Shawn Hunter?
Mr. Turner : Yeah, I did. His dad was a little off and on. No kid should have that.
Maya Hart : Yeah... Did you care about him, though? I mean, you weren't his real father.
Mr. Turner : No, I wasn't.
Maya Hart : But was it possible for you to...
Cory Matthews : Yes, Maya. I loved him like a son. I still do.
Maya Hart : That's good.
Riley Matthews : Dad?
Cory Matthews : Yeah?
Riley Matthews : Thank you for being a good teacher.
Maya Hart : Yeah, thanks.
Cory Matthews : Boy, there's nothing better than hearing that from your students.
[Topanga looks at Cory and then at Turner]
Cory Matthews : Mr. Turner...
Topanga Matthews : Thank you for being a good teacher.
Cory Matthews : Yeah, thanks.

Topanga Matthews : How was everybody's day today?
Auggie Matthews : It was a good day, and then my friends treated me nicely, and then my teacher measured me, and I'm growing, and then Jenny Lewis loooves me.
Topanga Matthews : Wait a minute! This already happened.
Auggie Matthews : Yeah, I'm out of stuff.
Cory Matthews : He's right! Nothing new happened at all!
Riley Matthews : Dad got fired today.
Cory Matthews : W-well, there's that... You know how you thought there might be trouble between Yancy and the new teacher?
Topanga Matthews : The young idealist who was gonna win him over.
Cory Matthews : She didn't... so much.
Topanga Matthews : But you defended her?
Cory Matthews : I did.
Topanga Matthews : So Yancy fired you.
Cory Matthews : So much.
Topanga Matthews : Yancy can't fire you. According to Statute 30.28, teacher dismissals have to come from the State.
Riley Matthews : Mom, do you know everything?
Topanga Matthews : Yeah.
-
Cory Matthews : Ms. Burgess is here to teach you about great books and great ideas. Please give her the same respect that you give me.
Riley Matthews : Aw, we could do better than that.
