William Daniels: George Feeny

Quotes 

• George Feeny : Okay, uh, I've got one thing to tell you that's gonna make you feel real good, and then I've got another thing to tell you that's gonna scare the hell out of you. Which would you like first?

  Alan Matthews : Feel good.

  George Feeny : Ultimately, the reason that I never had a son is because of the sheer weight of responsibility for another human life is so enormous, so daunting, that I genuinely didn't know if I was up to it.

  Alan Matthews : Oh, come on. You're a teacher. Your whole life's about kids.

  George Feeny : No, no, no. My job is about kids. My life is my own, unlike yours, which hasn't been your own since the day Eric was born.

  Alan Matthews : What are you saying? I'm a hostage?

  George Feeny : Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. You are a hostage to extreme emotional joys and disappointments, which your children will bring you for as long as you live.

  Alan Matthews : One day you're putting on training wheels. The next day you're teaching them how to drive. Of course, the first thing they want to do is drive away from you.

  George Feeny : Mmm-hmm.

  Alan Matthews : You're right. It scares the hell out of me. So, now tell me the part that makes me feel good.

  George Feeny : [sighs]  Mmm.

  Alan Matthews : What?

  George Feeny : That was the good part.

  Alan Matthews : Where?

  George Feeny : You know, the emotional joys, you had children and I didn't, and how lucky you are, and emotional joys, and, uh, joys.

  Alan Matthews : How bad is it, George?

  George Feeny : Well, I just had a phone call from Cory.

  Alan Matthews : Is he all right?

  George Feeny : No, he's fine. It's nothing like that.

  Alan Matthews : Good, good.

  George Feeny : He's on trial.
