- Cory Matthews: [Minkus is devastated after he gives a wrong answer in class] So what. So you're not a genius any more.
- Stuart Minkus: Right. Now I'm just a brainless, pathetic moron without a clue.
- Shawn Hunter: Trust me. It's not so bad.
- Stuart Minkus: [they go over the problem again, but Minkus is inconsolable] Look at me. What have I become?
- Shawn Hunter: A brainless, pathetic moron. We just went over this material.
- Stuart Minkus: They say the short-term memory is the first thing to go.
- Cory Matthews: Who says that?
- Stuart Minkus: I forgot!
- Eric Matthews: You know the big difference between guys and girls? Girls want committment, guys want girls.

- Cory Matthews: Eric, something's wrong. This doesn't weigh anything.

- Eric Matthews: [Eric pulls out a slinky, short, black dress] It means Mom's going to be flashing some leg when she picks up that 7-10 split.
- Cory Matthews: [Cory takes out a matchbook and reads it] "La Buggy-a."
- Eric Matthews: La Bugia? That's that fancy dinner place seniors always take their prom dates.
- Cory Matthews: Why would Mom be going there?
- Eric Matthews: Maybe Mom's dating a senior. I mean, everybody else is.
- Amy Matthews: [trying to explain why she and Alan sneaked around for a date night] Cor, did you ever cut school?
- Alan Matthews: No way, never.
- Amy Matthews: Off the record.
- Alan Matthews: Once in 5th grade.
- Amy Matthews: What'd you do?
- Alan Matthews: I went to mall, it was a lot of fun.
- Amy Matthews: But you've been to the mall a hundred times. Maybe it was fun because you weren't supposed to be there, it had an element of danger.
