- Topanga: [reading off Cory's paper] "My model wife won't care how dirty my room gets. She'll always let me win at video games. She'll play street hockey any time of the day or night." Why don't you just marry Shawn?

Boy Meets Girl [1.21]
[edit]- Cory: Beautiful? I've seen hormones turn a normal guy's face into Craters 'R Us.
- Feeny: Yes, there will be side-effects, but those, thank goodness, will be the province of your seventh-grade teacher.
- Cory: If it happens.
- Feeny: Oh, it will happen.

- Cory: Simple. You open the door and say, "Get out, you're bothering me."

I Dream of Feeny [1.22]
[edit]- Shawn: Feeny's test tomorrow is gonna be such a killer.
- Cory: Yeah, I don't understand why we have to learn anything about geography. Why do we have to learn where everything is? I'll just be like my dad and drive around 'til I find it.
- Cory: [before a test] I am so nervous!
- Shawn: You? My palms are sweating so much I can't even read the answers I wrote on them!
