Quotes 

• Superintendent Skinner : [to T.J., who is dressed as a punk]  Hello, son! I notice you're not lined up with the other students!

  Theodore J. 'T.J.' Detweiler : That's because I reject you, man! You and everything you stand for!

  Superintendent Skinner : Well that's fairly disturbing...

  Principal Prickly : [nervously]  W-well that's just T.J. Detweiler, sir. He was just joking around.

  [He brings Gretchen forward she's dressed as a goth] 

  Principal Prickly : Ahhh, here's the intelligent and courteous Gretchen Grundler. Say hello to the very important man, Gretchen.

  Gretchen Grundler : Greetings are depressing. Life is pointless. Leave me now to grapple with my own irrelevance as I confer to young adulthood... man.

  Vince LaSalle : [desperately grabs Prickly]  I know I gotta make weight, but I can't live on ginseng and egg whites forever!

  Mikey Blumberg : [covered in fake zits]  I'm breaking out! Yet another sock hop spent alone with my regrets...

  Gus Griswald : [blandly]  I have father issues.

  Superintendent Skinner : By Jove, Prickly! These are just the types of problems you'll be encountering in Middle School! It's the perfect opportunity for you to show off your one-on-one counseling skills.

  Principal Prickly : Oh... well, certainly, sir!

  [to TJ] 

  Principal Prickly : You, back off!

  [to Gretchen] 

  Principal Prickly : You, cheer up!

  [to Vince] 

  Principal Prickly : You, eat something!

  [to Mikey] 

  Principal Prickly : You, cut back on the fried foods!

  [to Gus] 

  Principal Prickly : You, mow the lawn!

  Spinelli : [dressed up as a cute Valley Girl]  You are so dreamy!

  Principal Prickly : Argh! Get a hamster!

  Superintendent Skinner : Prickly! What decisive handling on those children's strange problems!
