Cory Matthews quotes from Girl Meets World

Okay, look, Riley, your father and I gave you a 7:00 curfew because we knew that even when you got all rebellious you'd still be home by 7:30.

What?

[embarrassed] Yeah.

So when you come in here at 7:07 acting all dangerous, it's hard... [cracks up] I'm sorry. I can't even keep a straight face.

What are you laughing at? I'm outta control!

Cory Matthews

Maya, you couldn't keep her out any later than that? I mean, what kind of bad influence are you?

You're right. I gotta up my game.

[Riley has abandoned her family's game night to hang out with her friends]

Cory Matthews

See this? "The Family Game. The game for families." Not "The Friends Game. A game for friends." I saw that game. I didn't buy that game. I bought this one. Because I used to have a family.

Will you stop?

Cory Matthews

How could she choose her friends over us? I mean, did they burp her? Did they change her diapers?

We haven't yet, but we will when she's old.

Honey, hide the cake before Maya gets here.

Cory Matthews

I know, but you know what we should do? We should bring this cake to Maya's mother just in case she forgot to get her own kid a cake.

Oh, you think that could actually happen?

Cory Matthews

Honey, I grew up with Shawn Hunter. Remember his mother? She forgot where she lived.

Wait a minute, who let you in?

Shawn Hunter

I have a key.

[to Cory] You gave him a key?

Cory Matthews

[to Topanga] Fine, I'll give you a key.

Yeah, I know that song.

I remember everything.

Cory Matthews

We wanted to see how time treated us. If we turned out like we hoped we would. You got any advice for us while we're all here together, Mr. Feeny?

GFGeorge Feeny

Well, yes. It's been a long time, and you're still together. What else do you need to know?

St. Upidtown!

Oh. How St. Upid of me.

What is a lie? What are the effects of a lie on the human soul?

Why are you looking at me?

Cory Matthews

The man who summed up the price of a lie was Edgar Allan Poe in "The Tell-Tale Heart". Farkle?

IZIsaiah 'Zay' Babineaux

So this guy chops somebody up, hides him in the floor. He's cool for awhile, but all of a sudden, boom, boom. Boom, boom. Boom, boom! His guilty conscience made him hear the heartbeat under the floorboards. So, he gave himself up. Some people just ain't cut out for this stuff.

He called on me, you know.

IZIsaiah 'Zay' Babineaux

I know stuff. I know a lot of stuff. I know stuff about you.

You don't know anything about me.

IZIsaiah 'Zay' Babineaux

Boom, boom.

Why would you do that?

IZIsaiah 'Zay' Babineaux

Boom, boom.

I don't understand.

IZIsaiah 'Zay' Babineaux

Boom, boom!

[panicked] All through kindergarten, I never fell asleep once! I was faking all my naps! Faking them. I can't do it. I don't know how Maya can just fall asleep anywhere!

Cory Matthews

Lucas! Why are you the only one here that didn't say "I'm sorry?"

Lucas Friar

'Cause I never do anything.

Cory Matthews

No, because you respect the rules. Because you know without them, civilization becomes chaos. The rest of you are gonna spend the afternoon thinking about that, with the exception of Lucas the Good.

Lucas Friar

Aw, boy. Is that gonna stick?

I'm already making T-shirts.
