Eric: That's a dead bird!
Adam (offended): Not to me! (edit)
Cory: Every time I fall asleep, I dream that I kill Shawn. Now, what kind of person am I that would want my best friend dead?
Mr. Feeny: Well, now, you know you don't want Shawn dead.
Cory: Oh, how do you know who I want dead? (edit)
Adam (talking to his stuffed parrot): Polly want a cracker?
Eric: Polly want an autopsy! (edit)
Shawn: I turn off the lights and I hear him moving around in the dark like a rat. I wake up the next morning; the closets are reorganized, my shorts are ironed and my hair's been moussed. (edit)
Cory: It was raining. You had a new umbrella. You let me take a look at it; and then, I shoved it down your throat! And I opened it.
Shawn (disturbed): You opened it?
Cory: Oh Shawn, I Mary-Poppined ya. (edit)
