      • Shakespeare (to Dwayne): Of course it's about math. But tell her it's about her. The woman's fine!

      • Professor Mann: Now someone else could pick it up and think... Ron: It was too damn long!

      • Whitley: Math is no one's first love! Dwayne: It's mine. Ron: I thought it was Denise Huxtable.

      • Dwayne: (Reciting his poem called "My First Love") She's always been a challenge to me From our very first hello I pursued this woman of mystery Determined she would not be a puzzle to me I soon found comfort in her complexity I look into her dark and smoky eyes Admiring her angles and curves Her elliptical lips She divides men from boys Adding and subtracting hearts Until alone I stand, heart in my hand She is mine Solve for x, my first love.

      • Whitley: Kim, Dwayne Wayne wrote me a love poem. He said I had elliptical lips! Kim: Oh Lord.

      • Ernest: Hi, Kim. Freddie (to Kim): Don't even look at him.

      • Dwayne (offering his suggestions for how to alter the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet): Juliet, thee like thou and thou likes thee. Yes, I said 'yes,' woman. Why don't you and me go down to the midnight parking lot at Bumpy's and get busy?

      • Kim: So, did you get some sweet lip or not? Freddie: Kim, there are times when not touching is just as stimulating as touching. Kim: Aw, no sweet lip! Freddie: And this is not one of those times!

      • (Walter has just recited his poem, "Ode to Jaleesa.") Dwayne: I think I now know why Jaleesa left you standing at the altar.

      • Professor Mann: Do you like Michael Jordan? Dwayne: Who doesn't? Ron (angrily): Piston fans.
