Harvey [In reference to the bra issue]: I couldn't ask them all to leave, so I left.
Steven: I'm the principal - I'm entitled to a tone.
Milton  [to Sheryl]: Listen to me you pissy little wit-
Steven [taking Milton aside]: Milton! We don't call the students witches anymore, Milton, not even the pissy ones.
Louisa: The superintendent wants to set up a meeting.
Steven: Why?
Louisa  [sarcastically]: I don't know. Could be Harry Senate shooting off a gun in class, could be Marla going crazy, could be the Buttle cartoons, or maybe she just wants to commend you on how smooth things run here.
Harvey: I must make it a rule right here and right now. Wear a bra - for the good of the country.
Harry  [in the teachers' lounge]: Hey Marla, nothing personal, but aren't you on leave for being a mental?
Marla: What, I can't have a cup of coffee? I have to take some big sanity test to have a lousy cup of coffee?
Harry [while chuckling]: No I'm just a little concerned the caffeine might interact with your happy pills.
Lauren: Harry!
Marla  [irritated, to Harry]: You got jokes you big comedian.
Steven  [upon entering, to Marla]: What are you doing here?
Marla: Oh Steve, I-I came to see you.
Harry [sarcastically, while chuckling]: And the coffee is-
Marla [to Harry]: Oh shut up!
Steven [to Marla]: Come see me in my office
Marla: Okay
Steven [walking over to Lauren]: Lauren, what's this I hear you refuse to be fingerprinted?
Lauren: Oh, right, I meant to talk to you about that. Um, I refuse to be fingerprinted.
Steven: Why?
Lauren: I haven't been arrested.
Steven: Why don't you come to my office, too.
Harry: She can bring the doughnuts!
Kevin: Lauren, sweetheart, remember last week you had the chance to fire Lipshultz but, uh, you didn't?
Harry [to Scott, in reference to the hallway of junior and senior girls removing their bras an hanging them on their lockers]: Lipshultz told them to wear their brassieres for the good of the country but it turns out they're all communist sluts.
Louisa [interrupting a conference between Steven and Marla]: Steven you have a meeting-
Marla: He does not have a meeting. You always come in, saying he has a meeting when you think he needs to be rescued. You told me that yourself, Louisa.
Louisa: Well when I told you that, Marla, I didn't think he'd have to be rescued from you.
Scott [in reference to the meeting with Steven and the superintendent]: Did she say what it was about?
Steven: Probably about me assaulting Malcolm White. [Sarcastically] We're not supposed to do that you know.
Scott: Would you like me to be there?
Steven: I don't think it will help, Scott. The superintendent thinks you're a fascist.
Scott: She should know.
Harvey: I've been teaching the same way for 50 years, Steven. All of a sudden I'm no good? Explain that to me.
Steven: You've been teaching the same way for 50 years.
Harry  [to Scott]: Um, no offense, but resemblances aside, you're not one of those sniffing dogs.
Lauren: What's wrong?
Harry: Oh, uh, my nose. It just grew an inch.
Dana [in reference to Scott letting her off on the suspension/expulsion]: ...and that he decided to make an exception...so unGuber.
Louisa [with dread]: Steven, the Dragon Lady's here.
Marcia Shinn [clears throat, then, sarcastically]: Very nice.
Louisa: The superintendent has also arrived.
Marcia: The Dragon Lady? That's what people call me?
Steven: Only when you're in the room
Marcia: That would explain your assaulting a student.
Steven: I had a situation.
Marcia [sarcastically]: As long as there's a good reason, excellent.
Kevin: What's wrong?
Harry: Nothing. Just, uh, thinking.
Kevin: You never think - what's the matter?
Milton  [sarcastically]: What do you mean it just happened? You were walking down the street and tripped into her mouth?
Harry: Hey! Why don't you go into the corner, bend over and reload!
Harvey: Karen. [Walking towards Sheryl] Karen?
[Sheryl turns around]
Harvey [disgusted]: Oh, it's you.
Sheryl: Mr. Lipshultz I don't mean to insult you personally. I hope you know that.
Harvey: I do young lady. My granddaughter Karen who I thought was you for a second is just as mischievous with her computer. You two would probably get along.
Sheryl [genuinely interested]: Does she go here?
Harvey: Naw, she lives at Weymouth. Practically never lives the house - always with her computer. She knows how to make those virus things that make websites crash. You know, I know very little about these things, but she wouldn't stop at anything.  [Nearing her, looking into her eyes. Then, very seriously]  Look at me, Ms. Holt. Study this face. You don't see Milton Buttle here, do you?
[At Doyle's]
Harry [in reference to him kissing Dana]: I'm going to be out of here so fast...
Kevin: Harry you don't have much of a choice. She's going to keep doing this.
Milton: What was her tongue like?
[Lauren and Marilyn come over, closely followed by Harvey and Marla]
Lauren: Hey can we crash?
Harry: Yeah, there's room for you and Marilyn.
Marla: What about us?
Harry [sarcastically]: Actually, this is kind of a place for young people, you know, there might be some safety issues.
Marla: Oh you can slide over or bite my big tenderized ass.
[All laugh]
Louisa [pulling up a chair]: Hey what'd I miss?
Kevin: Oh nothing. We're about to get Harvey drunk.
Louisa: Oh good!
Harry: Yeah it's a nightmare. He starts making sense.
Harvey [to Harry]: A regular character, Harry-
Lauren: Be nice!
Harvey  [to Harry]: Are you packed?
[All laugh]
Milton [to Lauren]: So what was coffee with Guber like?
Lauren: It was business.
Marilyn: Yeah right!
Lauren [sarcastically]: We discussed Marilyn's wardrobe.
[All laugh]
