Quotes 

• Ms. Kelly : Can you tell us anything about ovulation or how pregnancy occurs?

  Cory Matthews : Well, the man's got the sperm, and the woman's got the egg. Now, once a month, an egg slides down the Philippine tube towards the uterus. The first sperm to reach the egg wins, it gets a medal, it's born, you name him Cory, you push him out the door, and nothing make sense for the rest of his life.

  Ms. Kelly : Congratulations. You seem to have a thorough understanding of the life cycle.

  Cory Matthews : Hey, I live it.

  Ms. Kelly : Do you have any questions?

  Cory Matthews : Yeah. How do you get a girl to say 'hi'?

• Ms. Kelly : Good afternoon, class. I'm Ms. Kelly, and I'll be filling in for Mr. Dubin for the next few days.

  Shawn Hunter : On behalf of the entire class, I'd like to say... stay as long as you like.

  Ms. Kelly : Now, right now, you seem to be covering...

  Shawn Hunter : CPR, and I'm today's dummy.

  Ms. Kelly : No, actually, we seem to be up to human reproduction, which I hope we can discuss in a mature fashion.

  [Some students in the class giggle] 

  Shawn Hunter : Oh, stop being so young. You know, I'm not as young as they are. I've stayed back, like, 50 times.

  Ms. Kelly : Really? How old are you?

  Shawn Hunter : 24?

  Ms. Kelly : Really? What are you doing in a seventh-grade classroom?

  Shawn Hunter : I'm a cop.

  Ms. Kelly : Sit down.

  Ms. Kelly : All right, but I'm watching you.

• Shawn Hunter : Stop obsessing, man. You're gonna pop a lobe.

  Cory Matthews : You're right. I should relax, 'cause this coupling thing, it's just a phase. I mean, how long can it last... a few weeks?

  Jonathan Turner : [Enters walking with Ms. Kelly]  The cafeteria's right this way. They know me there. I'll get us a good table.

  Ms. Kelly : You would do that for me?

  Jonathan Turner : Oh, yeah. I'm very tight with Bertha, the lunchroom lady. Yeah, I once rescued a dolphin from her hair net.

  Cory Matthews : OK, maybe it'll last a few years.

  George Feeny : [Enters walking with an older, female teacher]  Yes, I'm acting principal now, and the pressures would be daunting for a man half my age. Fortunately I have a vitality that belies my years.

  Cory Matthews : I'm the only one who doesn't know how it's done.

• Ms. Kelly : All right, the name of the place where the eggs are stored.

  Cory Matthews : What are the gonads?

  Ms. Kelly : No, sorry. I was looking for, what are the ovaries?

  Cory Matthews : Oh, the o... Yeah, I always mix those two up.

  Ms. Kelly : Try not to. Your future will be brighter.
