TV show quotes
...back when I used to nurse him... he would stimulate the nipple.
..and that intimidates me. I admit it. What if I can't excite her as much as her son does?
...and you see, that's how he makes me feel aberrant. I never nursed Jeremy for the purpose of orgasm. It was just... a windfall.
I don't get today's kids Scott... stealing a teacher's hook.
If your son is gay...
He can't be! He's good at sports. He simply can't be gay.
It's too cold. I can't teach when I see my own breath.
Why, does it look the way it smells?
He's an institution here. The name Harvey Lipschultz is synonymous with institution.
Because he belongs in one.
You lead by example Mr. Senate! You're a hothead!
[to Harper] Ever since he put me in the Dungeon, he disses me... like my students get dissed by all the other kids!
[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.
Thank you?
[counselling Danny Hanson not to continue his class discussions about the power of the N-word] The politics on that word could spell the end of your career, and not just at Winslow. Choose another topic. Something lighter ... like the death penalty.
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!
I can do without the imagery, Marla.
Sylvie doesn't take drugs, Ms. Hendricks.
I'm not suggesting that. She may have unknowingly ingested something. Let's not forget about anthrax... and even shellfish! There's something going on with the shellfish these days. They're scavengers you know. God knows what they eat! And the drug boats... they see the coast guard coming... they dump the stuff overboard... the shellfish could be on drugs... does she like shrimp?
Harvey, Helen is dead. And as for your reputation... it's in worse shape than Helen.
Harvey I'm half black, they call it a mulatto.
Sounds like a cookie.
[to his newly found son] I don't know whether you came looking...well....for a relationship or not you know...people that have had one with me quickly come to regret it...
[to Scott Guber about Winslow's grading system] Look Scott, who's kidding who? The grading system here is all over the place. I mean, you've got a better shot at fairness going to the Olympics...as a figure skater.
Look Marilyn, a teacher has to pick his battles. We say: "don't drink", "don't do drugs", "don't smoke" …then you want to add "don't eat your hair." They just start to tune you out.
