The clothes look nice, Maya. But it's the hope that looks great on you.

Why don't you elect people who care enough to make things better?
I like to think I do every time I vote. But the truth is, I'm not responsible for the quality of people running for office.
How are these people even chosen?
Well, the parties choose the best candidates they can come up with.
[Eric bursts into the room, then pauses to catch his breath]
I am running for senator of the great state of New York, and I need your votes!
Kids don't vote.
Then, aww.
Everybody close your books, it's the end of the world.
I'm really dizzy. I've done this in every classroom!
They played me. I'm just supposed to lose.
Supposed to.
Like Kennedy was.
Or Nixon.
Yeah, but those guys weren't real!
Where's Garaboski?
Uh oh.
Did we do it?
Did we finally break him?
[walks in] You broke him!
[class cheers]
Quiet! Mr. Garaboski retired yesterday.
[class cheers again]
Quiet! The guy survives Vietnam *and* *Mrs.* Garaboski, and he can't get past you. Now, he left a letter here that expressed his feelings. "Dear you little"- okay, I can't read this.
He always talked about the good old days, before 1985.
What happened in 1985?
That was the year the New York Board of Education said you couldn't hit a kid with a ruler.
Ms. Burgess is here to teach you about great books and great ideas. Please give her the same respect that you give me.
Aw, we could do better than that.
Girls, slow down! What is the rush?
Dinner is keeping us from our homework.
The new English teacher wants us to read this.
This looks like a comic book.
Yes!
Didn't we have a teacher who taught us...
Yes!
Tell me more about this new English teacher.
Motorcycle.
Leather jacket.
Sounds familiar... [turns to Cory] Weren't you on the committee to hire the new English teacher?
Yes!
Let's go over the suspect list, doll face.
I like when she calls me doll face. Makes me feel dainty.
How long are goldfish supposed to live?
Well, with proper care, they can go 15, 20 years.
Then that's when we'll see you next. [to the fish] Right, guys?
I hope so, kid. I'll miss you.
You will?
Yeah. You're sincere, you're honest. You changed me today.
Really?
Yeah. That'll be $17,000.
Maya, you are the most secure person in this room. You have a great life! Why would you change? I mean okay, not great life... I mean, your family life could, you know, be better, but... uh, at least at school you're uh... you're here a lot!
I have no interest living in a world without Riley and Farkle. And I'm not going anywhere until you to come back, you hear me?
Maya, the people you knew aren't here any more.
Then can you please tell me where I can find them?
They're in the yearbook. Keep in touch and have an awesome summer.
Lucas hasn't asked me to the semi-formal. We're Riley and Lucas, aren't we, Maya?
I don't know anymore. Just tell me what to say.
It's all over the front of my notebook. "Riley hearts Lucas 4-ever."
What's on the back on your notebook?
"Riley and Lucas, we're just friends."
Semi-formal coming up. Young men and young women interacting. Mixing in a social situation. So, to avoid any casualties, I thought we could discuss etiquette. Can anyone here tell me what etiquette is? [Farkle raises his hand] No, you can't.
Etiquette is treating people politely and with respect. Maya and I will demonstrate in a short play we put on before every dance. It's called, "No". [in a formal voice] Miss Hart, would you do me the great honor of accompanying me to the semi-formal festivities?
No.
Etiquette.
Etiquette.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We'll see you at the holidays for "A Christmas No".
Maya has something very special, Riley. She paints from a place that few of us are able to reach.
That's because she has an awful life.
I love it when I'm reminded.
You know, Picasso painted a masterpiece called Guernica. Adults going to war on horses with swords. Except for one horse who was horrified at what the adults were doing. He's horrified because he knows it's wrong. I've always loved that horse. And when I was as young as you, I made a promise to myself that if I ever go to war, I would never forget Guernica and the horse that knew better. Thank you, Ms. Hart, for reminding me.
Farkle, I have the results of your...
[interrupting] Of my IQ and aptitude test? I'm a genius, right? You know how I know? Because I'm a genius. It's not conceited when it's true, Mr. Matthews?
I wouldn't know. I'm barely literate.
