[Luke rises from his desk, walks up to the front of the classroom and places a rock on Mrs. Tingle's desk]
Luke Churner: Plymouth Rock.
Mrs. Tingle: Your work, Mr. Churner, reminds me of a student that sat in that same seat some 20 years ago. He, too, had "No future" printed on him... Do give your father my best.

Trivia
In the scene where Ms. Banks is subbing for Mrs. Tingle she tells the class that "Josephine was just a little slut-bag whore, who was leaving her panties all around town." This is very similar to a line from another Kevin Williamson movie, _Scream (1996)_. In Scream, Billy tells Sydney that her mother "was a slut-bag whore who flashed her shit all over town".

When Mrs. Tingle first walks down the hall and kids try to get out of her way, two students dodge her twice. A fat white girl and a black girl wearing a blue dress separate from each other twice. The second time you see them split, the black girl screams as she moves. See more »Quotes

One of the funniest movies I have seen in ages. Excellent cast, particularly Mirren as Mrs. Tingle. The supporting cast are not far behind. For some reason it did badly at the box office, possibly because of the subject area. However I would make it a must see movie.
