Quotes 

• 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?

  Farkle Minkus : That was the year the New York Board of Education said you couldn't hit a kid with a ruler.

• Mr. Turner : Now, may I see what you've learned? Because that's what means everything.

  Farkle Minkus : Farkle goes first! Farkle always goes first!

  Mr. Turner : [to Cory]  Stuart Minkus' kid?

  Cory Matthews : Yeah.

  Mr. Turner : Super genius?

  Cory Matthews : Outer space.

  Mr. Turner : Real human boy?

  Cory Matthews : We're not sure yet.

• 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"!

• Principal Yancy : So I'm passing by your classroom on this, your second day, and I see no Mockingbird! But I still see comic books.

  Harper Burgess : Yes, we're studying the nature of good and evil!

  Principal Yancy : Ah-I don't care! Class dismissed.

  Harper Burgess : Excuse me?

  Principal Yancy : Study hall! All of you! Except Farkle, you... go sit in a garbage can.

  Farkle Minkus : Yaaaay.

  [class remains seated] 

  Principal Yancy : Leave... now.

  [class still remains seated] 

  Harper Burgess : Go.

  [class leaves] 

  Harper Burgess : If I may explain my lesson plan...

  Principal Yancy : Oh, there's no need, Ms. Burgess, you're fired. You are brand new, kid. You think there are heroes and villains, there aren't. There's only kids, who come and go. You really think you've affected anybody?

  [Cory enters] 

  Cory Matthews : Uh... what's going on here?

  Harper Burgess : I've been fired. I wanna thank you for believing in me.

  Cory Matthews : You're welcome. Oh wait, that hasn't changed. Uh, how can you possibly fire someone like her, Yancy?

  Principal Yancy : Go back to your class, Matthews.

  Cory Matthews : You're right. This isn't History, this is English. But, you know what history has in common with the great books? In turns out, there are heroes and villains. All through 'em. And the villains will always cause trouble. But there's always gonna be heroes to fight back.

  Harper Burgess : [nudges Cory and smiles]  You ruined my entire lesson.

  Principal Yancy : She was hired to teach literature, but she's not! She rides a motorcycle, and she teaches comic books! How is *that* a teacher?

  Cory Matthews : That can be a great teacher. A passionate teacher, who doesn't believe that kids just come and go. And if you let her go, then... you have to be prepared to let me go as well.

  Principal Yancy : Let *you* go? Well, I wasn't prepared for that at all, just give me a second- okay, I'm good- you're fired too!
