Cory : [in the principal's office] All I wanted was to be liked, now my name is Johnny Baboon; at least my life can't get any worse.
Mr. George Feeny : [turns from his desk chair] Wrong again... Mr. Baboon.
Cory : MR. FEENY!
Mr. George Feeny : The legend continues.
Cory : How can this be? You're only temporary, right? You don't have the full authority to authorize detention or caning, right?
Mr. George Feeny : Oh, the school board in its infinite wisdom has seen fit to give me full authority.

Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : What's your name, kid?
Cory : Cory Matthews.
Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : Nah, that's a poofy name. If you're gonna hang with me, you've got to have a name that inspires fear and respect. Let me look at you. I've got it. From now on, you are JOHNNY BABOON.

Jonathan Turner : What is that, X-Men?
Cory Matthews : No, it's... ..
Jonathan Turner : [interrupts Cory as he pulls the comic book from his desk] What, I don't know X-Men when I see it? It's a great issue, wasn't it?
Cory Matthews : [shocked] You read X-Men?
Jonathan Turner : Do I read X-Men? Fantasy worlds, epic heroism. Yeah, I read X-Men. In fact, let's all read X-Men. Your assignment is to read The Odyssey and this issue of X-Men.

Alan Matthews : Cory, let's go! You wanna be late for your first day of high school?
Amy Matthews : Alan, don't yell at him. He's probably a nervous wreck.
Cory Matthews : [Jumping down the stairs] Hey, Mom! Hey, Dad! How ya doing? Hey, Morgan, lookin' short!
Morgan Matthews : Go back to camp, loser.
Amy Matthews : Cor, you're not...
Cory Matthews : A nervous wreck? No, because I know my place. I understand where I am in the high school universe. See, I'm starting off a nothing - a zero.
Morgan Matthews : A big booger.
Cory Matthews : You know how you tell me, the earlier I do my homework, the better I'll know the stuff?
Amy Matthews : You've done homework?
Cory Matthews : It's a metaphor. But all summer long, I bugged Eric about what high school's gonna be like. And I took notes.
Alan Matthews : Ooh impressive.
Cory Matthews : Thank you. So, how do I avoid years and years of abuse and humiliation?
Alan Matthews : Don't get married.
[Amy smacks him on the back of the head]
Alan Matthews : It's a metaphor.

Cory Matthews : Sure. What for, gang pictures?
Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : No, when I get through killing you, you won't be so photogenic.
Cory Matthews : You're gonna kill me?
Harvey 'Harley' Keiner : Oh, yeah oh, yeah. I really, really, really am. But not until 3:00. Enjoy your lunch.
