Meredith: Hook Lady? Is that what you call me?
Marla [hesitates]: I was referring figuratively to somebody with a hook in literature.
Meredith: Really? Who in literature would that be?
Marla: That transvestite captain that was chasing around Peter Pan: the cross dresser.
[Marla begins to walk away but turns around to face Meredith]
Marla: Look, get over yourself. It's a big world and you are not the only lady living in it with a hanger on the end of your nub...And what are you doing stalking me?
Meredith [calmly]: I'm not stalking you. I just happened by one of the food vending machines. What a coincidence to find you in the vicinity [Looks Marla up and down]
Marla: I will drop you with one shot! Don't be fooled because I'm petite!
Shoe Lady: Smell that boot!
Scott [facetiously]: Oh, it's a boot now! [To Steven] She brought in a boot!
Shoe Lady: Smell that boot-
Scott [interrupting]: Remove the footwear...
Shoe Lady [to Steven, in reference to Louisa]: Are these the kind of people you hire?
Steven: Yes. With your tax dollars.
Harvey [approaching Ronnie, who is talking to Matthew in the teachers' lounge]: Young lady, I don't believe we've met. I'm Harvey Lipshultz.
Ronnie: Ronnie Cooke.
Harvey [pronouncing "beautiful" as "beauty-ful"]: Such a beautiful girl! [To Matthew]: Isn't she beautiful?!
Matthew: Uh, beautiful.
Ronnie: Actually, we did meet briefly before.
Harvey: Really? I think I'd remember a pretty face such as yours. Unless maybe you have two faces and I met the other one. [Nearing her, until their faces are inches apart] Are you two faced, Ms. Cooke?
Steven [approaching Marla and Scott arguing in the hallway]: What's wrong?
Marla [ranting]: This school is promoting heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol. Is this school for those things, Steven?
Steven: Absolutely. [To Scott] What is she talking about?
Lauren [to Brooke Harper]: Seventeen?! Huh! So-so you must be killing goats by now!
Scott [over dinner at a restaurant]: How do you know me so well?
Meredith: Well, during my last therapy session Dr. Cobert had to go to the men's room and when he did so, I looked up your file!
[Scott looks terrified]
Meredith [laughing]: Just kidding!
Meredith [over dinner at a restaurant]: By the way, I want you to fire Marla.
Scott: What!
Meredith: She's not appropriate!
Scott: I can't just-
Meredith [cutting Scott off]: She's mentally unstable! I'm concerned for the children!
Scott: You really mean to be playing the mental stability card?
Lauren [at night, entering Steven's office to find him still working]: Either we are too dedicated or we just don't have personal lives.
Steven [angrily]: You think that's funny?
Lauren: Um, I said it with humor, yeah.
Steven [at a meeting regarding Brooke with her principal]: I am a principal in a school myself.
Principal: Really? And do the parents let you get a word in?
Louanna Harper: So you give up? Just like that! What does that say about you or this school?
Principal: Mrs. Harper, this was a very beloved goat.
Debbie Nixon [at the court hearing regarding Harvey]: Mr. Lipshultz is a legend at Winslow High! Other teachers look up to him.
Harvey [standing up, interrupting]: That's a lie!
Judge: Mr. Lipshultz, do not speak again!
Matthew [distressed about his singing in front of Ronnie's class, and how it was accompanied by laughter]: I shouldn't have picked "A Time for Us" or "Romeo and Juliet." It's too painful. I think they were using laughter as a defense.
Ronnie: Yeah, that was probably it.
Matthew: And that's what you were doing, right?
Ronnie: Well, it was just...so painful. [Bursts into laughter]
Matthew: I was funny, wasn't I?
Ronnie: With you... [Pats his knee] Laughing with you.
Matthew [sarcastically]: Oh, thanks.
Steven [to Brooke]: What's wrong with getting a ride if you've got one, huh? What, is there something fun about public transportation?!
Brooke [to Steven about how he doesn't see that she's growing up]: I mean, when you look in the mirror, you still see a full head of hair!
