Recess: School's Out
2001
Mrs Finster: Hey, teacher! Leave them kids alone!
Gus: Ninjas! Why did it have to be ninjas?
Becky: Like, I am so through with him, Melissa. He asked me if I spoke French, then winked at me.
(Holding diary out of Becky's reach) TJ: Uh uh uh. I got copies. Now either you give me a ride or this baby hits the internet.
Ashley: Got off our planet, alien scum!
(after seeing a tractor beam shoot at the sky) Vince: Now that right there. That was messed up.
Benedict: All those years, I still thought about you. How you embarrassed me! How you humiliated me! How you destroyed my relationship with Muriel Finster, the only woman I ever loved! TJ: That part still grosses me out, sir. Principal Prickly: Shh.
Principal Prickly: I'll let you in on a little secret, Detweiller. Every adult you've ever known was a kid at sometime in his life. You think we don't remember summer vacation? Riding our bikes down the creek. Catching polliwogs in a jar. Camping out under the stars. Well you're wrong! Sometimes I sit there in my office, looking out at you kids in the playground and I think, "They don't know how good they got it. In a few years, they'll be grownups like me and all those good times will be memories for them, too". So go ahead. Put a whoopie-cushion in my chair. Put fake vomit on my carpet. Make fun of my "big, saggy butt". But don't ever say I don't care about summer vacation, 'cause those memories are the last part of childhood I got left.
(Principal Prickly and "TJ" are dressed as guards) Principal Prickly: You sure this gonna work, Detweiller? TJ: Come on, Mr Prickly. Don't you watch old spy movies? This trick is pure gold. (To guard) Uh, Mr Benedict wanted to see us about a very important matter. Guard: Hey, you two aren't guards! TJ: Ruuuun!
King Bob: I, King Bob, as my last official act before entering middle school, hereby anoint this boy here King Freddie the second. (to King Freddie) King Bob: May you boss around all of the kids with fairness.
Mrs Finster: I'm stuck! Curse these bodacious hips of mine!
Gretchen: I've been studying the moon with the 200-inch telescope at the observatory, and I've discovered some peculiar eccentricities in it's orbit. Counselor: You know, Gretchen, maybe you should try out one of these neat anti-gravity harnesses. The other kids love 'em, and look - you can do backflips, just like real astronauts. Gretchen: But - (Counselor flips away. Gretchen sighs) Gretchen: Why do I bother? TJ: (from space suit) Because you're driven by a passionate desire for knowledge.
Ashley: Hey, remember that summer after the second grade when we went down to the pond every day to catch minnows? Gretchen: Or how about that summer we all carved our initials in that big tree in the Wilson's backyard? Vince: And Spinelli spelled her's wrong. Ashley: Hey, I was seven. And "S's" are tricky. (Gus begins sobbing) Ashley: What's your problem? This is the first summer you've lived here. Gus: I know, and I'll never have any of those memories.
Benedict: Same old noble Pete. Always standing up for the rights of children. TJ: (to Prickly) You?
(Last Lines) Principal Prickly: But don't forget, come September, you're mine! I haven't forgotten about that "big-saggy butt" comment! TJ: Hey, September is a long way off.
