Recess
1997
T.J.: You realize we may have to get married after this. Spinelli: You realize I may have to kill you after this.
Butch: The future is girls... and we're all going to like it!
(about Ms Finster) Mikey: She looks so happy like that... Spinelli: Yeah... let's go destroy her life.
Spinelli: It's not martial arts, it's survive. It was invented by the French.
T.J.: I don't have one best friend... I have five!
T.J.: We're all Ashley's too. Ashley Armbruster: But, you aren't even girls! Gus: Hey, it's the nineties.
Coach Kluge: You went and done it, didn't you, LaSalle? You went and became a... vegetarian!
Spinelli: Boys kissing girls? Girls kissing boys? Gretchen: Surely, there must be some mistake. I mean, this defies the rules of nature and physics. Besides that, it's disgusting!" T.J.: But Butch says it's the future. His brother Joey told him. Spinelli: Oh, please! The day I stop caring about dodgeball is the day the Earth starts spinning around the sun. Gretchen: Which explains the D minus you got in Science.
Billy: Eventually I stopped calling him Safety Man and started calling him just Gus, but to me, he'll always be... El Diablo!
Gelman: And if you ever tell a teacher on me again, I'll hit you so hard your clothes'll hurt!
Upside Down Girl: (after Digger Dave has given her advice on how to hang) Do something about him, Detweiller. If I have to come down from here, nobody's going to be happy.
T.J.: Never kid a kid who hasn't had his recess.
T.J.: (receiving test scores) F? That's terrible! Gus: F! I'm so disappointed in myself! Gretchen: A-? My life is flashing before my eyes!
Gus: Ashley A and Gretchen are walking to school together! Vincent Pierre 'Vince' LaSalle: How many times do we have to tell you, Gus, eating paste is bad for you!
King Bob: So shall it be written, so shall it be done!
(repeated line) T.J.: Tender
(repeated line) Ashley 'Ashley B' Boulet: Scccaandaaloussss
Miss Alordayne Grotkey: Ok, so everyone who didn't do their homework last night will be challenged to a double load. (the class groans) And anyone who did their homework can have the night off. Gretchen: YES! WOOHOO! (realizes she's the only one cheering) Umm, I mean... Boo, the unfairness?
Mikey: (after Gus kicks a brand new ball over the fence) Can I borrow a pencil, Gus? I *LOST* mine. Billy: Hey, maybe Gus kicked IT over the fence, too.
All of kids on playground: (in unison after finding out that Vince is playing golf with Principal Prickley) Vince and Prickley, standing on the green/P-U-T-T-I-N-G/First comes par, then comes bogie, then comes Vince dressed like an old fogey!
Miss Muriel P Finster: I'd call you a pack of wild animals, but even wild animals don't throw food. Except for monkeys. But you're not monkeys, are you? No, you're children, children who act like monkeys.
T.J.: Mikey, what are you doing? Mikey: Communing with people who appreciate my innate spiritual gifts. T.J.: I appreciate your insane spiritual gifts, Mikey.
Gretchen: But... but you were supposed to study the homework and learn from it! Spinelli: Gretchen, what colour's the sky on your planet?
Gretchen: Oh, well. Maybe if I eat right and take lots of exercise I'll live to see the next total eclipse. In a hundred and twenty two years.
