Quotes

  • Peggy: Donovan? She has been out of the game for three years, getting her Master's degree or something. Why would they pick her instead of me?
Bobby: Maybe it's alphabetical.
Peggy: No. That was struck down in Zagarello v. State of Texas.
  • Ms Donovan: Normally, I try not to give too many A's, but this time it didn't really come up.
  • Hank: An F in English? Bobby, you speak English.
  • Bobby: I finally picked my essay topic: "Why Bobby Hill Loves America".
Hank: I'd like to see your teacher give an F to the U.S. of A.
Peggy: Hank, that woman could fail ice cubes to the Eskimos.
  • Bobby: Oh, that's crappy! I'm gonna get another F.
Peggy: Well, with that attitude and a poorly written essay, yes.
  • Ms Donovan: Yes, well, I wish I could stay and chat, but I've got to teach a class. And you?
Peggy: I could stay and chat.
  • Bobby: I find my best ideas come to me while I am soaking in the tub, sipping on a cup of cocoa.
Peggy: Well, that's very interesting, because when I am stuck on a musing column, what I'd like to do is find someone helpful to bounce ideas off of.
Bobby: That's not really my style. What works for me, see, is the cocoa.
Ms Donovan: That's because you're a writer, Bobby. Your mother's just a muser. It looks like the torch has been passed and it has finally been lit.
  • Bobby: I find that adverbs are overrated and that your adjectives are your go-to guys.
  • Peggy: You know, he has never even thanked me, not once. And would it kill him to say to people "My mom helped me with that line" or "My mom wrote that essay; I had nothing to do with it"?
Hank: Well, I agree he shouldn't take credit, but you shouldn't have written it for him in the first place. From where I'm sitting, you both screwed up. Now, what are you going to do about it?
Peggy: Well, I cannot speak for Bobby --
Hank: Well, you have no problem writing for him.
Peggy: Damn straight. I got an A.
  • Ms Donovan: It seems both you and Clark Peters believe that, quote, "when it comes to tea cosies, it's either crotchet or the highway." Now, that doesn't sound like the Clark Peters I know. The Clark Peters I know likes to burn things.
  • Peggy: Wait, obviously, someone has hacked into my Kaypro.
  • Peggy: What did they teach you in that graduate school?
Ms Donovan: How to survive.
  • Hank: What you two did was wrong. You've not only disgraced the flag, you've disgraced the republic for which it stands. If I were you, I'd start writing your apologies. (to Peggy) And if I were you, I'd hide yours from Bobby.
  • Peggy: And remember: we are stealing this flag, we are not disgracing it.
  • Bill: (weeping over his damaged flag) What kind of animal would do such a thing?! A bear?
