"Baba Bebe? You mean the one who brainwashes young people?
My kind of guy!"
"My name is Abu Kareem Hassan.
What is, is.
What was, will be.
What will be, was, but will be again."
"We better hurry up, I'm startin' to understand him."
Arnold Horshack repeated this mantra a number of times in the same episode.
...miracles cannot be rushed."
"Look, Arnold, I am... Arnold, what you just said, that was beautiful. It made a lot of sense."
"Of course! Births cannot be rushed. For example, first, the stork has to be notified."
You have one character, a bit naive, named Arnold....
"What's that?"
"That's a Bicentennial Knish."
Show aired in 1976, when EVERYTHING was Bicentennial THIS and Bicentennial THAT...
That line got a LOT of laughs in 1976.
(Epstein was trying to quit smoking. Finally, he made a deal with Kotter: if Kotter gave up snacking on knishes,
Epstein would give up cigarettes. The rest of the scene, they pulled cigarettes and knishes out of hiding all over
the classroom. Kotter had this knish behind the US flag in the corner.
"..what's that satchel for?"
"It's for the money. What am I gonna do, stuff 250 G's in my pocket?"
"Hey, Juan, um, they gonna give us a check."
"Oh, no, I don't take checks. Checks bounce."
"Well, this one's gonna be from New York State."
"Especially those!"
One character's named Juan, the show is in New York State....
"Teaching this class is about as much fun as root canal work."
"I thought all the routes to your canal dried up a long time ago!"
This is a school...
"Oh, but Mr. Woodman, Rembrandt painted plenty of nudes."
"Well, I wanna see Rembrandt in my office, too!'
Mr Woodman's one character- the Vice-Principal.
" 'James Buchanan' is not anywhere. It's in Bensonhurst, which is in Brooklyn, which is where I spent four degenerate years as a student. You know how rough that is? The gangs there don't use guns. They insert the bullets manually."
The name of the school, and its location in Brooklyn. During the opening of the show, the sign displaying
the name "Brooklyn" was featured.
"So nobody did it. I think we should put a candle in the window, because the last time this happened, three wise men came from the east."
"I feel like this is just the beginning. Today, Buchanan, tomorrow, who knows? Governor Barbarino, Senator Barbarino, Emperor Barbarino!
You know, Julius Caesar was an Italian."
Vinny Barbarino, the first big role for John Travolta.
"Now, now, now, Juan, you hot-blooded young turk!"
"I'm a Puerto Rican Jew!"
"Same thing. Your blood is hot."
Juan Epstein was a Puerto Rican Jew.
"Julie, baby, did I ever tell you about my uncle Ben?"
"No. Did he make rice?"
At the end of EVERY episode, Gabe Kotter told his wife Julie a joke, supposedly a story about one of his uncles.
If it has to do with me, ask me...no need to guess...and just to avoid confusion, here's the missing quotation marks from my flubbed attempt above. " "
Practical application:
"How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle."
"How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle."
D'oh! (That's not a quote...but if it were, it would have been Homer Simpson...)
D'oh! again...I tried to edit the above post so that the honeysuckle quotation was removed. I posted it in the wrong thread, should be in the movies thread. So, how bout this:

Now it's my turn.
"You know, if women ran the world there'd be none of these stupid wars!"
"Yeah, all the countries would nag each other to death!"
"Well, better get rid of the old set anyway."
"Set what set?"
"An old stove, and old husband, and they both take too long to heat up."
"Larry, haven't you ever thought of telling a girl the truth?"
"Well, I figure, anyone who puts on eyeliner, fake eyelashes, and plastic nails isn't someone who wants to hear the truth."

"...Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society.'
Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll
reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare..."
