VinnieI got my own idea of what God is like: I know he's a sharp dresser, and he's good-looking, and of course he's Italian.
Yeah? Well, if you ask me, all that stuff about harps is a lot of jive. God is backed up by a jazz rhythm section. He got a piano, a bass guitar, and a drummer with a good right foot.
You're the leader of the Sweathogs, right?
VinnieAm I the leader of the Sweathogs? Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope live in the woods?
An integer is a counting number. If the sequence is 1,2; 2,3; 3,4; etc., the integer is apparent.
It's apparent to who?
So find the value of 'X'?
'X'? I don't know.
Right! 'X' is unknown! So what's 'Y'?
'Y'?
VinnieWhere?
VinnieYou know, Mr. Kotter, prayer is good for you.
Oh, I know that, Vinnie, I know. I prayed all morning, the whole time I was on the subway comin' to work. I prayed that we'd get to my stop before the two guys who were kickin' the conductor noticed me.
VinnieI ain't gonna hurt any old relics. Not even Mr. Woodman.
Get bent, Barbarino!
VinnieI went to a wax museum once. I saw Raquel Welch. You know that that wax comes right off in your hands?

Miss Holzgang said we could draw our favorite thing, so I drew this bea-utiful girl! Oh!
I drew a picture of a cheese Whopper.
Yeah, and I drew a picture of Arnold getting heartburn.
VinnieAnd I drew a picture of me.
My name is Abu Kareem Hassan. What is, is. What was, will be. What will be, was, but will be again.
VinnieWe better hurry up, I'm startin' to understand him.
BarbarinoYou know what I think? I think that we moved the furniture and we worked very hard. I think it's Miller time.
Well, we got the time. Who's got the beer?
BarbarinoI know this. One of these days, you're gonna have to get off them pills and go cold duck.
That's cold turkey, turkey.
BarbarinoWhatever it is, it's for the birds.
Check it out, Mr. Kotter, we decided to give you one more chance.
VinnieYeah, but this is your last chance, 'cause if we're still stupid next year, forget it.
VinnieWhy do you even want this job?
To make a lot of cash money!
VinnieI make $68.50 a week and $10 of that goes to Uncle Sam.
Oh, sure, you get your uncle a job here, but not your friends?
