- Natalie: Do you realize how lucky we are to have Mr. Gideon? He was a reporter, a correspondent. He's got leather patches on his sleeves. Now, if that's not journalism, I don't know what is.

- Jo: It's my sacred duty as a reporter to make a disgusting spectacle of him.

  Blair: Ow! You chipped my nail! Mrs. Garrett, Look! (Wiggling her finger at Mrs. Garrett)
  Mrs. Garrett: Oh. (Wiggling her finger back at Blair) That's very good, Blair.
  Blair: Mrs. Garrett. Jo struck me!
  Tootie: Yeah, assault with a deadly semicolon.
  EDIT SHARE
- Blair: It isn't that. Jo's mad because he made her look stupid in front of the whole class. He should have done that in private.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jo: Roy, would you give me break? I got enough problems with Gideon!
  Roy: Is some obnoxious creep giving you a hard time? Tell him to get lost.
  Jo: Get lost.
  EDIT SHARE
- Jo: It's not that simple, Mrs. G. See, Gideon and I have a kind of love, hate relationship. I love journalism and he hates me.
