Alice: I'd love for you to show me around your American balls! (edit)
Jeff: Actually, pimps get more respect than public school teachers. (edit)
Principal Wiggins: (points to the bass player) So what do"you think of him?
Tina: Uhh, Em Tuxedo t-shirt. Is it 1985 already? (edit)
Calvin: (taking Dick's original speech) Look let me do a little rewrite. I'll keep your content. I'll soften the edges a bit.
Dick: Okay, but keep that stuff about the bird flu. I'm serious that thing's coming. (edit)
Dick: (giving his farewell to the seniors) Let's face it, school isn't about you. It's about the teachers. See you grow up, you move on. We stay here. We come back every year...to deal with the bureaucracy, and the bad manners and the lighting that is flattering to no one. All in the name of trying to crow bar some knowledge into your air tight skulls. Now why do we do this? You better believe it's not for the money. Maybe it's because for all the challenges here my friend was right; there's always hope and the promise of the occasional meat thermometer. So why don't you all raise a bottle...I know you've got'em...To us. (edit)

Summer of Love

Dick refers to driving to Haight Ashbury to get some of that Summer of Love. Summer of Love refers to the summer of 1967, particularly on the West Coast of the United States, when the so-called "hippie movement" came to full fruition. The beginning of which is attributed to the "Human Be-In" that took place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on Jan. 14, 1967 and was where John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas wrote the song San Francisco:

If you're going to San Francisco,
be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you come to San Francisco,
Summertime will be a love-in there. (edit)

"Well written"
It's time for the senior prom, and Alice reveals she never went to a prom. She has volunteered to chaperone, so Jeff does so as well.
