Shawn: Cory, the first thing I learned on the street, is that any judge who spontaneously makes you balloon toys will, at the end of the day, actually hang you. (edit)
Cory (playing football with Morgan): Down. Set. Hike. Button-hook!
(throws the ball and hits Morgan in the back)
Morgan: Ow. Why'd you do that?
Cory: Because I called a button-hook you woman! I didn't say stop and go. I didn't say down and out. I didn't say post. I said button-hook. Now was the ball not there waiting for you?
Morgan: If you don't stop yelling, I'm going upstairs to play with Barbie and Skipper. (edit)
Topanga: Cory, I don't get it. You and your father have always gotten along great.
Cory: Yeah, cause I've always been safe and dependable Cory. Well tonight a new Cory is born. Dark wild Cory; built for speed. 24, 25, 26. Look at me, I'm breaking the law.
(sirens and flashing lights appear behind them)
Cory: Well, we all saw that coming. (edit)

"Out of character"
Interesting episode, but Cory's actions don't seem to match his normal personality
