Quotes 

• Cory Matthews : Shawn, what was your mother's maiden name?

  Shawn Hunter : Cordini.

  Cory Matthews : Cordini, so that would make you a WOP, right?

  Shawn Hunter : [all the kids turn and look]  What did you call me?

  Cory Matthews : You heard what I called you.

  Shawn Hunter : [to Feeny]  Did you hear what he called me?

  George Feeny : I heard what he called you.

  Shawn Hunter : What're you going to do about it?

  George Feeny : He's the teacher, what are you going to do about it?

  Shawn Hunter : I'm gonna knock his head off!

  Cory Matthews : What if you couldn't? What if you couldn't do anything about it?

  Shawn Hunter : What?

  Cory Matthews : What if you lived in a country where I could kill you just because of your mom's last name.

  Shawn Hunter : Cory, what're you talking about?

  Cory Matthews : A 15 year old girl is dead! Doesn't anybody care? She was really smart and totally cool. Her name was Anne Frank. She wrote this book. They say she died of 'typhus', but, *they* killed her, because her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank was a victim of anti-semi-tism.

  George Feeny : Antisemitism.

  Cory Matthews : Thank you, Mr. Feeny. You have to read this book, and you have to pass this test. Not because of me, but because when somebody calls someone else a bad name, it's not right that just that one person stand up. We *all* have to stand up.

• Cory Matthews : I think in about five seconds, Feeny walks in here, takes a sip from the drinking fountain, flicks his mustache, goes to the coffee machine, sees me and says: "Good morning, Mr. Matthews. I trust you've done the homework?" Every day, the same thing. He's so predictable.

  [Feeny comes in, does exactly what Cory said he would do, and then comes towards him] 

  George Feeny : Good morning, Mr. Matthews. I trust you've done the homework?

  Cory Matthews : Yes, I did, sir...

  Cory Matthews , George Feeny : [simultanously]  ... but my little sister ate it.

  [Cory, Shawn and Stuart look at him weirdly] 

  George Feeny : You are so predictable.

• Cory Matthews : [after learning Shawn pulled his up average on the test by a whole grade]  Shawn got a B? At least one guy learned something out of all this.

  George Feeny : On the contrary, two did.

  Cory Matthews : Two? Who else?

  George Feeny : You, Mr. Matthews.

  Cory Matthews : How do you know? I didn't take the test.

  George Feeny : You didn't need to, do you really think I could have gotten you to read "The Diary of Anne Frank"?

  Cory Matthews : Even if you had, Mr. Feeny, I wouldn't have understood it.
