Quotes
-
Juan Epstein : [Late at night in the dark classroom] Hey, Horshack. Tell me somethin'. Do you ever think about what God is like?
Arnold Horshack : Oh, yeah. I think he's short. And he has a marvelous sense of humor. And a great laugh.
Vernajean Williams : Hey, God can do anything.
Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington : He can?
Vernajean Williams : SHE can. You know, she sings just like Aretha Franklin.
Juan Epstein : Y'know, I think God is kinda tough, y'know? But he's fair. Sorta like John Wayne in a white beard, y'know? "All right, pilgrims, move those clouds in a circle."
Vinnie Barbarino : I got my own idea of what God is like. I know he's a sharp dresser. He's good lookin'. And of course he's Italian.
Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington : Yeah? Well, if you ask me, all that stuff about harps is a lot of jive. God is backed up by a jazz rhythym section. He got a piano, a bass guitar, and a drummer with a good right foot.
Julie Kotter : Well, I think God is love. And if he were here, he'd love my tuna casserole.
Juan Epstein : Hey, Mr. Kotter? What's your feelings on this subject?
Gabe Kotter : Well, I think that, uh, God is everywhere.
Arnold Horshack : Even in liver?
Gabe Kotter : He's everywhere. He's in Times Square. He used to be in Ebbets Field. Spent a lot of time in Ebbets Field. He's Moonlight in Vermont, Autumn in New York, all the standards. He's everywhere... with the possible exception of Epstein's gymn locker! Go to sleep!
