Do you know who Dimitri Schostakovich is?
Scott, I've told you. I like Basketball. I don't really follow Hockey.
S2 E2Chapter Twenty-Four
You're sick? Huh? You don't look sick to me.
DDebbie
So? You don't look nuts, but we both know better.
S2 E3Chapter Twenty-Five
Keep your voice down.
We're alone.
Louisa listens, the little snoop.
I heard that.
Can I ask you something? You can tell me if it's a tacky question, but I really gotta know.
Okay.
As a lawyer, how much money did you make?
That's a tacky question.
Well, that's not really a deterrent for me actually.
S2 E4Chapter Twenty-Six
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. You know the way we tell every student you can be whatever you want to be if you set your mind to it? That's a big lie. Most kids have limits they're never gonna shake. Some are even stupid. But you? You can do what you want... be whatever you want. You're an incredible kid, Debbie. Now, you're crying, which confuses me.
DDebbie
No one's ever said that to me before.
S2 E5Chapter Twenty-Seven
Make love to me, Scott.
Well...
I want you to ravage me.
It's... um... a school night.
...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.
S2 E6Chapter Twenty-Eight
I don't get today's kids Scott... stealing a teacher's hook.
S2 E8Chapter Thirty
BBBig Boy
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?
S2 E10Chapter Thirty-Two
He's an institution here. The name Harvey Lipschultz is synonymous with institution.
Because he belongs in one.
S2 E11Chapter Thirty-Three
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!
S2 E14Chapter Thirty-Six
[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?
S2 E15Chapter Thirty-Seven
URUnion Rep
[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.
