Scott: I actually made a list, uh, "career paths most commensurable with being hated." I wrote down assistant principal. I never looked back. Meredith Peters: In high school I was voted "most likely to have a house dropped on me." Scott [to Meredith]: Well, being popular is over-rated. I suppose, though, probably I shouldn't knock something until I've tried it. Steven: Scott, I don't have a problem with you seeing another teacher socially...now, Mrs. Peters?! Scott: What?! Steven: She could be an axe murderer! Scott [Talking about Mrs. Peters being misunderstood]: ...The way people jump to conclusions these days! Steven [facetiously]: Yeah, lock one kid in a basement... Danny: Can I ask you something? And you can tell me if it's a tacky question, but I really need to know. Ronnie: Okay. Danny: As a lawyer, how much money did you make? Ronnie: It's a tacky question. Steven [to complaining Meredith]: Well perhaps you could discuss it with the vice principal over dinner. Jamaal Crenshaw [facetiously, to the dungeon class, after his being accepted to Williams College]: I'd like to thank all of you guys, but I can't since, you know, you had nothing to do with it! [all laugh] Hey, hey, hey! Anyway, listen I promise when I'm like this big success making a lot of money, I won't forget you...I'll just pretend I never knew you! Steven [about Harvey]: I'll speak to him. Danny: Speak to him?! The guy forgets what you say even before you tell him! Steven: It's time for you to be afraid of me. Harvey: Why would I fear you? We're friends! Why we even turn to each other for favors. Just last spring you came to me and asked would I falsify a student's grade in order to get him into Harvard, Oh, of course I know that this should stay between you and me. Steven: Are you threatening me, Harvey? Harvey: Nah...just reminding you; we're friends! Marla [Giving a speech in the auditorium]: I know the last thing you all want to hear is another lecture on guns... [all laugh] so instead I'm going to talk about a public health issue. [Glances at Steven, who is warning her with a look] It's called guns. Scott: I have been saying this would happen! Have I not been saying this would happen?! Steven: Yes, Scott, you've been telling us. [sarcastically] You get a gold star. Scott [questioning his and Steven's friendship when Steven's not there to talk about Mrs. Peters]: ...so I attempt to share with you a few details; you couldn't be bothered! Steven [sitting down, then heavily sarcastic]: Oh. How was your date Scott? Scott [frustrated]: Nevermind! Steven [Getting more and more sarcastic]: No, I really want to know. I've always had such high hopes for you two as a couple. Steven [About Mrs. Peters]: Do you really see yourself happily ever after with this- Scott [Cutting Steven off]: It's one date! Steven: You going to see her again? Scott: Fine, two dates. I'm not asking for her hook in mar-[cuts himself off before completing the word "marriage"] Scott [to Steven]: ...I'm not exactly a magnet for women, if you haven't noticed. Harry [upon entering Steven's office]: Whatever it is, I didn't do it! Jamaal [In reference to his plagiarizing on his college application essay]: Look I wasn't gonna get in on my writing. Harry [sarcastically and angrily]: Oh, so you though it best just to go shopping for somebody else's. Steen [in response to Lauren questioning what was wrong]: Can I be allowed to hate the job once in a while? Marla: Still mad I called you fat? Ronnie [whispering to Danny in between instructing his class about suing Harvey]: Are you getting me in trouble? Danny: Hey, they could all be out doing drugs, right? This is a good project! Meredith [At dinner with Scott, in response to their conversation about plagiarizing]: Mm, if Jeremy ever did that I'd kill him! Ronnie: You know, I'm just replaying in my head, "don't let the disappointments get to you, 'cause they're gonna be one right after another." Harry: No, I never said don't let them get to you; I said don't let them beat you. If they don't always get to you then you won't make much of a teacher. Scott: I'm not sure our therapist will be happy, treating us both for isolation issues. This date could be costing him money! [Meredith laughs] Scott [surprised]: I made a joke that was actually received as such! Scott: Keep your voice down! Steven: We're alone! Scott: Louisa listens; the little snoop! Louisa [walking by the office doorway]: I heard that! Harry [at the admissions office at Williams College, talking about Jamaal]: ...well, I won't go into the reasons why I think he deserves another chance...unless you want me to... [chuckles] but, uh, he is honest...as honest as any plagiarizer could be. Man from admissions office: Mr. Senate, we get many hardship cases; many applications from at-risk kids- Harry [interrupting, while removing his jacket]: You know, I- I think I will go into my list, if you don't mind; [clears throat] uh, I did drive three hours. I'll just go into my list a little bit. Louisa: Scott, Jeremy Peters is here...shall I frisk him for planters? Jeremy Peters [sarcastically to Scott, after a small lecture about how Scott and Meredith are together]: Well, will we get to go camping together now? |
