Quotes 

• Cory : I've been going to this school for three years, and everyone still calls me either "Eric's brother", "Shawn's friend", or my favorite: "Hey kid, move!"

• [Cory and Shawn have snuck into the chem lab to turn in their papers, but have accidentally set something there on fire] 

  Cory : Shawn, we have to go back. Chemicals explode!

  Shawn Hunter : [shocked]  Oh, no!

  Cory : Yeah, come on!

  Shawn Hunter : No, I ended my paper: "In conclusion, chemicals don't explode!"

  Cory : I'm going back up there.

  Shawn Hunter : Well, while you're up there, could you change the ending of my paper?

• Cory : Last night, my friends, those flames were a lot bigger than me.

  [the crowd breaks into applause] 

  Cory : But did I run away?

  Crowd : NO!

  Cory : That's right, my friends! 'Cause if you're gonna succeed in business, or run the Gridiron, you have got to believe you can do it. Remember, there's a little Cory Matthews inside each and every one of you.

  [long pause, where everybody are silent] 

  Cory : It's a metaphor.

  [the crowd breaks into applause again] 

• Cory : Well, so much for the perks.

  Topanga Lawrence : Come on, Cory. Would you rather go back to being a hero again?

  Cory : Nah. I'm happy just being plain old Cory. I mean, look.

  [puts his arm around Shawn and Topanga] 

  Cory : I got my best friend, I got my girlfriend...

  Jock : Hey kid, move!

  Cory : I got my old name back!

• Cory : Hey, Dr. Sorrell! He-ey! Listen, I'm glad I ran into you. I have an doctor's appointment tomorrow. Here's a note from my mom.

  Dr. Sorrell : Tell someone who cares.

  [leaves him] 

  Cory : It's good to be me.
