Shawn: How come it's called A Christmas Carol, anyway.
Cory: Yeah, there is nobody in this story named Carol. (edit)
Mr. Feeny: And so ends Dickens' masterpiece; A Christmas Carol.
Shawn: Wait a minute; that's not the end. Where's the Grinch? (edit)
Mr. Feeny: You know what my favorite part about Christmas is?
Cory: I go away for a week?
Mr. Feeny: Yeah, that's pretty special. (edit)
Shawn (about a basketball net he gave Cory): It belonged to my dad. It's real old so it might not be genuine imitation nylon.
Cory: Whoa, if it's that old it could be actual nylon. (edit)
Mr. Feeny (as Santa Claus): So, young Morgan, what would you like for Christmas this year?
Cory: Good grades for your big brother!
Mr. Feeny: Ho, ho, ho. (edit)
