Quotes

Cory: Minkus, get a life. That's your homework assignment. Get a life. (edit)
Cory: Five measly bucks a week, you probably make that in an hour.
Mr. Feeny: Yes I do, that's how I can afford that Ferrari in my drive way.
Cory: You don't drive a Ferrari.
Mr. Feeny: Oh right, it's a Gremlin. (edit)
Cory (about The Diary of Anne Frank): You have to read this book, and you have to pass this test; not because of me, but because when someone calls someone else a bad name, it's not good that just that one person jumps up. We all have to jump up. (edit)
Cory (reading from The Diary of Anne Frank): In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Shawn's mother's maiden name is Cordini. (edit)
When Cory does roll call, Topanga Lawrence is called first. Class attendance sheets are normally in alphabetical order, and Shawn Hunter would at least be before her. (edit)
The first day Cory teaches, he writes his name on the chalk board and underlines it. A couple seconds later it disappears. (edit)
