I have an announcement to make.
Is this announcement gonna be good news?
Yes and no.
Oh, wow, man, you better give us the bad news first. [Woodman enters the classroom] Boy, that was fast!

Hey, Mr. Kotter, are you glad to be back in school?
Arnold, this is the second most painful day in a schoolteacher's life.
What's the first?
Payday.
S4 E2The Drop-Ins (2)
Check it out, Mr. Kotter, we decided to give you one more chance.
Yeah, but this is your last chance, 'cause if we're still stupid next year, forget it.
Why do you even want this job?
To make a lot of cash money!
I 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?

Well, uh, you can try, but you're picking at an empty field.

I'm workin' with inferior equipment here!
BBeau
Yeah, your hands and your brain!
Look, Mr. Woodman, you yank me off that paper, you're gonna lose a great deal of advertising retinue!
