Meredith Peters

[about her son dating Harper's daughter] ...and may I also say, the idea of my son being involved in an inter-racial relationship would ordinarily cause my veins to shrivel. I don't believe in them. But because it's Brooke, and YOUR daughter, I'm open to it. I think you're both wonderful people.

Steven Harper

Thank you?

Marla Hendricks

Well you better get into it fast, because the parents …you're gonna have them crawlin' up your ass! Not to mention teachers, students, and me! …and I'm not gonna be squiggly like a itty bitty little gerbil! I promise you that!

Steven Harper

I can do without the imagery, Marla.

The little man has been spotted on school grounds. I've got out an all-points bulletin.

Steven Harper

How'd he get past security?

[after being caught hugging a female student] What's the big deal? The kid was crying. Some boy named Tristan or Clayton or whatever, he blew her off and dumped her.

Steven Harper

And you felt the appropriate response was to put your arms around her?

Yeah.

Ronnie Cooke

You do realize how this could look, don't you?

What, that I hugged a girl who was crying? Um...like I'm a nice guy?

Ronnie Cooke

You had your arms around a 17-year-old girl, the door was closed, and she was wearing a mini-skirt.

Well, I didn't pick out her clothes this morning.
