Cory Matthews quotes from Girl Meets World

Riley Matthews

This is normal, healthy teenage rebellion. This is supposed to happen. I'm right on schedule. How could this go wrong?

Farkle Minkus

Educate her, Hambone.

Cory Matthews

Chapter One: Crushing defeats. Godzilla versus Japan.

Farkle Minkus

Japan loses, Riley.

Cory Matthews

Really loses.

Farkle Minkus

Tell her how bad they lose.

Cory Matthews

They lose so bad their voices come out of their mouths three seconds later.

Riley Matthews

I would like to begin with peace talks.

Topanga Matthews

Is this an apology?

Riley Matthews

This is a diplomatic solution. May I sit at the table?

Cory Matthews

Why don't we let her sit down and see what she has to say?

Riley Matthews

Mother.

Topanga Matthews

Daughter.

Riley Matthews

I understand that you wanted me at the bakery because it was important to you. You understand that I wanted to do something else that was important to me, even though you didn't see the value in it.

Cory Matthews

Bad road, Riley.

Riley Matthews

You don't care about what's important to me. You only care about what's important to you.

Cory Matthews

[nervously] It's good to see her again, huh? Yeah. [to Riley] Really bad bumpy dirt road, Riley, with no lights and a cliff, and some sort of weird hitchhiker with a banjo! Turn around now!

Riley Matthews

We need to teach Maya the meaning of Christmas.

Maya Hart

Bah, humbug! My mom and I don't know how to do Christmas. We throw snowballs at the skaters in Rockefeller Center.

That was you? I almost died!

Cory Matthews

Girls listen, I know this is difficult. Don't worry. We're gonna make the right decision.

Riley Matthews

[fighting tears] Mom, there's a decision?

Topanga Matthews

Yeah. Girls, I'm sorry, but there's a decision.

Topanga Matthews

There are a lot of exciting reasons to go. A new place, a new adventure, my promotion. There are a whole lot of reasons to go.

Riley Matthews

Without any reasons to stay?

Topanga Matthews

Only one. Every time I watch you girls in the bay window, I remember how much we wanted a place like it of our own.

Cory Matthews

Yeah, we called it a nook.

Topanga Matthews

Yeah. A place where important decisions are made, and the best next steps of your life are planned and considered. We would do great in England. We would do great anywhere in the world. I could run the London office. Maybe someday I'll get to run the New York office. But the place I love running is this place, where you're in right now, where your friends come in and you plan the best next steps of your life. Like we're doing right now. This is my bay window, and I'm not leaving it.

Cory Matthews

Told you she would make the right decision.
