George Feeny quotes from Boy Meets World

Feeny

Eighteen dollars for socks? Come on, man!

They are thermal, they are double-layered, and they are moisture-proof!

Feeny

They're eighteen dollars, and they're socks! I'm a teacher, not a heart surgeon!

Shawn

Mr. Feeny, you're on my side?

Feeny

Frightening, isn't it?

Cory

For once, just listen to me, man. In the classroom under my desk is a key. The key will open ariport locker number B-378. In the locker, you will find a tattered plaid valise. In the valise, you will find my homework for five years. See, for all these years I understood everything. I'm actually a brilliant student.

Feeny

What is the capital of Montana?

Cory

You're not going to the airport, are ya?

Feeny

I'm sure you're all aware of the conflict in Burundi, which is now spilling over into Rwanda and Uganda.

Cory

He's making these names up.

Shawn

He's finally run out of stuff to teach.

Feeny

The Burundian conflict centers on class differences between the poorer Hutus and the richer Tutsis.

Shawn

We're gonna have to put a bag over him and drag him out of the room.

Cory

That way we save his dignity.

Feeny

Interesting. In my class, Mr. Hunter handles the yipping.

Cory

[wakes up] Shawn! It's both of 'em!

Shawn

[wakes up and looks around, nervous] Oh, no. Now I don't know which class I slept through.

Shawn

Mr. Turner, what if my choice is to not do the assignment?

Turner

You want this one, George?

Feeny

No, no, your class. I get them after lunch.

Turner

Well, then you would get an F, not get into college, and spend your time hanging out at the local convenience store waiting for them to bring in a new batch of lottery tickets.

Shawn

And that would change my life... how?

Feeny

What are you doing in Beantown?

Eric

Hiding from you; and I fail. Why must you stalk me so?

Feeny

I trust you've studied for tomorrow's quiz?

Cory

Gutenburg invented the printing press in 1445 and began the spread of ideas and the written word throughout the world. Please don't tell anyone I know that.

Cory

That's why we're the champions.

Feeny

Champions of what, Mr. Matthews? Of a generation whose verbal and mathematical skills have sunk so low when you have the highest level of technology at your fingertips? Gutenberg's generation thirsted for a new book every six months. Your generation gets a new web page every six seconds! How do you use this technology, to beat King Koopa and save the princess. Shame on you, you deserve what you get. *Bell Rings* Sit down! Stay where you are! For the first time, I choose to walk out on you.

Eric

Mr. Feeny.

Feeny

What?

Eric

I heard you telling my parents you thought I was smart. Just hearing you say that is worth 1000 SAT points.

Feeny

An excellent start on your documentary, Mr. Matthews.

Cory

What?

Feeny

Yes, excellent. I said excellent, and I was talking about something you did. I don't know what came over me.

Feeny

[holding an open book] And that, Mr. Hunter, is how babies are made.

Shawn

I still don't believe him.

Cory

Mr. Feeny, we found this purse. Who runs the Lost and Found?

Feeny

[pause] I do, Mr. Matthews. I teach English, history and film, and I run the Lost and Found.

Shawn

We'll put up a notice.

Feeny

Now, why didn't I see that?

Eric

Well, Mr. Feeny, I'm in college. You're still in high school.

Those slopes are treacherous.

Feeny

He fell getting off the bus.

Those buses are treacherous.
