Scott: You're almost eighty years old, and I-I want to be sure you're okay.
Harvey: Oh, yes, you're always looking out for me, Scott. I'm touched.
Harvey: Is that it?
Scott: That's all. You need some help remembering where the door is?
Harry [to Tyronn]: Why were they shooting? Because you sing like Roberta Flack?
Tina Knowles: First of all, you've got to be kidding! Second, you gotta be kidding!
Scott: Do you know of any reason she would have claimed you did?
Tina: She must be a liar!
Lisa: Don't tell me what to do, Harry.
Harry: It's Mr. Senate to you!
Lisa: No, I think it's Harry.
Harry: You're a student-
Lisa [cutting him off]: Which gives me an excuse for all the stuff I pull. What's yours...Harry?
Steven: I'm not taking her side!
Tina: Then what are you doing?
Steven: I'm covering my gigantic ass.
Lisa: This makes you and I friends, Harry. When the teachers rear up, and say I should be transferred, and when they scream that I shouldn't be allowed to teach, I now have a friend. [Whispers]  One who's got Harper's ear.
Scott: Lauren Davis is a truthful person. She's honest, she's-
Steven: -Elegant, I know.
Tyronn: I'll be, uh-
Harry: Don't tell me where you're going. I don't want to know.
Steven: How'd the interview go?
Scott: It didn't. There was no interview. There's not even a North Hampton Symphony. I was the victim of somebody's practical joke.
Steven: There's not even a real symphony?
Scott: This is the work of Mr. Senate. [To Louisa]  Get Mr. Senate!
Steven: Wait, so you just drove all the way out there and...Oh, my.
Scott: You think it's funny, Steven?
Steven: No, no.
Scott: Then why are you smiling?
Steven: I'm not smiling.
Louisa: I am not smiling.
Louisa [to Scott]: Would you like me to make a list of all the people who don't like you?
Mr. Webb: Mr. Harper, Annie left East Boston High under circumstances: allegations that a teacher was fondling her.
Steven: Oh.
Mr. Webb: She's been in therapy. She's on her third counselor. She claimed the first two had touched her.
Steven: Oh. Is there any possibility it could be true?
Mr. Webb: Uh, she told us you touch her.
Steven: Oh.
Milton [to Scott]: Oh, congratulations! I hear you're becoming a conductor. That's really great. I hear North Hampton's really beautiful.
Scott [about Milton, to Steven]: He's the one who sent me on that goose chase. He must have conspired with Harry Senate!
Scott: Did you schedule your check-up?
Harvey: What check-up?
Scott: I asked you to see a doctor this morning. Did we forget that, Harvey?
Harvey: But what if I did? Would a lousy memory make me mental?
Steven: All right!
Scott: As I said, I will make it an issue.
Harvey: I called my doctor. He asked me the date; I got it right. He asked if I change my underwear; I told him every day. He asked if I ever drove an hour to stare at an empty lot under the delusion that I could conduct an orchestra. I said, "Do I really look that crazy?!"
Scott: I've been played for a fool by Lipshultz!
Steven [laughing]: We'll plan your revenge over dinner, all right?
