Quotes
-
Topanga Lawrence : Why do you care so much what other people think? When people laugh at you, they're depleting their own karmic reservoir.
Cory Matthews : [pauses] You're gonna be one of those girls who doesn't shave her legs, aren't you?
-
Topanga Lawrence : Cory, I got Jedediah to drive me to your house after school.
Cory Matthews : Who's Jedediah?
Topanga Lawrence : My father.
Cory Matthews : Wait. You call your father Jedediah?
Topanga Lawrence : That's his name. What do you call your father?
Cory Matthews : Well, like a lot of normal people, I refer to him as Dad.
Topanga Lawrence : Well, then how do you tell him apart from all the other dads?
-
Cory Matthews : Shawn and I have another project we're working on.
Topanga Lawrence : Really? What is it?
Shawn Hunter : Well, you know how those dolphins get caught in the tuna nets?
Topanga Lawrence : Yeah?
Shawn Hunter : It's got nothin' to do with that.
-
Topanga Lawrence : Give me your hand.
Cory Matthews : Why?
Topanga Lawrence : I want to see if our energies converge.
[Cory reluctantly reaches out his hand. Topanga takes it and looks at it for a few seconds]
Shawn Hunter : [sarcastically] Ooh-ooh!
[Topanga lets go of Cory's hand and turns to Mr. Feeny]
Topanga Lawrence : He's vibrationally acceptable.
-
Stuart Minkus : Are you proposing to help us?
Cory Matthews : Yeah. I guess I am.
Topanga Lawrence : Why?
Cory Matthews : Because life is strange, and now, so am I.
-
Cory Matthews : [after having been paired up with Topanga] Uh, Mr. Feeny, may I approach the bench?
George Feeny : Objection, Mr. Matthews?
Cory Matthews : Can you be swayed on this?
George Feeny : I'm Gibraltar.
Cory Matthews : Come on, Mr. Feeny. Topanga's, like, totally strange.
George Feeny : Strange is in the eye of the beholder, Mr. Matthews. I, for example, have a young neighbor who sings along with his little sister's Barney records.
Cory Matthews : You hear that?
-
[the rest of the class is laughing at him for his hair]
Cory Matthews : [to Topanga] Go ahead, laugh.
Topanga Lawrence : [very seriously] Your hair looks different. Why would I laugh?
-
Cory Matthews : No one's gonna sign your petition.
Topanga Lawrence : Why not?
Cory Matthews : Because you're weird.
[the others look at him]
Cory Matthews : However, I say that respectfully, since I am now one of you.
-
Cory Matthews : Yeah, we could do that in front of the class. But before we do, will you just please take a huge baseball bat and hit me over the head?
-
Cory Matthews : [to Eric] If you say anything, I'll find someone to hurt you when I'm older.
-
Shawn Hunter : Wow. Feeny must really hate your guts.
Cory Matthews : Could be worse. At least he didn't give me Minkus.
Shawn Hunter : Hey, Minkus doesn't like me, he doesn't trust me, and he doesn't respect me. So he's doing the whole assignment by himself. In my book, Stuart Minkus is a god.
-
Cory Matthews : What do you think of my hair?
Shawn Hunter : Guys don't ask guys that question.
-
Topanga Lawrence : [to Cory] Why do you care so much what other people think? When people laugh at you, they're depleting their own karmic reservoir.
Cory Matthews : You're going to be one of those girls who doesn't shave her legs, aren't you?
-
Cory Matthews : Listen up, family. Because I admit I didn't know what I was doing when I put this stuff on my head and I admit I didn't know what it was going to do to me, but here's the thing I do know. I am under no circumstances going to school tomorrow. Is that clear? No school for Cory. School. Cory. No.
[scene cuts to Cory in school the next day]
-
Cory Matthews : [to Shawn] So, should this stuff be burning?
Shawn Hunter : Why, is it burning?
Cory Matthews : No, I'm just trying to make conversation because we never really get to talk.
Shawn Hunter : How bad's it burning?
Cory Matthews : Call your sister. Ask her if my ears should feel like throbbing jalapenos.
Shawn Hunter : [on the phone] Hi, Stacey. It's me. Listen, Cory wants to know if that stuff you sent over should be burning. Uh-huh. Really?
Cory Matthews : Hurting! Hurting now!
Shawn Hunter : Stacey wants to know how long it's been burning?
Cory Matthews : Forty, forty-five minutes.
Shawn Hunter : Forty-five minutes.
Cory Matthews : Shawn, I'm going to rip my head off!
Shawn Hunter : Stacey says you should've washed it out 45 minutes ago.
Cory Matthews : Aah!
[runs into the bathroom]
Shawn Hunter : Stacey says you shouldn't have left it in so long. Stacey says, "Why didn't you two idiots read the label?" Oh, thanks, Stace.
[Cory runs out of the bathroom screaming]
-
Amy Matthews : Cory, what did you do to your beautiful hair?
Cory Matthews : It wasn't beautiful. It looked like Velcro.
Eric Matthews : Nothing's going to stick to that now, man.
