- Shawn: They... went to the library.
- Alan: You mean the public library, the one that closes at nine?
- Shawn: Oh no, the other one.

- Minkus: I'm trying to quit!
- Eric: What about alcohol?
- Minkus: Could you use someone else as an example?!
- Topanga: You are so wise.

Model Family [1.15]
[edit]- Shawn: They were too perfect.

- Cory: That's like you.
- Minkus: Don't you hate it when Mom and Dad fight?
- Shawn: No. Into it.
- Cory: Well, we won't be fighting for long. I've got something that'll take the fight right out of Mom. Read it and weep, Little Big Hair.
- 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?

[edit]- Feeny: Mr. Matthews, unhand that Minkus!

It's a Wonderful Night [1.18]
[edit]- Eric: [looking at cover of movie] "Barney Does The ABC's." I don't wanna give the ending away, Cor, but... Z.

Kid Gloves [1.19]
[edit]- Topanga: Each of our bodies is the master creation of Mother Nature.

The Play's The Thing [1.20]
[edit]- Feeny: You will be a spear-carrier.

- Cory: You know, maybe if Hamlet had worn pants, he could have made a decision or two.
- Topanga: Was that a sexist comment?
- Cory: That's what I was shootin' for.
- Shawn: Don't worry about her- her dad sews.
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: Maybe, maybe not. I mean, I'm young and I'm fast. I can dodge hormones for days, years if I have to. I'm gonna stay twelve 'til I'm forty-two.
- Shawn: Tell me something. How do you ask a girl out?
- Cory: Simple. You open the door and say, "Get out, you're bothering me."
- Shawn: No, like, on a date.
- Cory: Well, Eric uses the shotgun approach. He just keeps dialing random numbers until he hears the word "yes."
- Shawn: Sounds like a lot of work.
- Cory: Yeah, and after all that, what have you got? A girl! What's the point?
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!
