Quotes 

• Eric Matthews : [while punching the man that punched Cory]  That's my brother! Nobody hits my brother!

• Eric Matthews : [about cleaning out the garage]  You know, Cory, this would have been fun to do together.

  Cory Matthews : Oh, Eric, come on. It's not a big deal. Besides, I didn't want you to waste a Saturday.

  Eric Matthews : Oh, but you didn't mind asking Shawn to waste a Saturday?

  Cory Matthews : No, Shawn... Shawn loves this stuff. Remember where he's from.

  Shawn Hunter : I do love trash.

• Eric Matthews : [about Rachel's old tank top]  Rachel, did you wear this?

  Rachel McGuire : I used to.

  Eric Matthews : I'll give you 50 bucks for them.

  Angela Moore : Sold.

  Topanga Matthews : Why do you want Rachel's old tank top?

  Eric Matthews : I'm a collector.

• Cory Matthews : Hey, Eric, I've been looking for you.

  Eric Matthews : Well, you found me.

  Cory Matthews : Uh, listen, I just want to apologize about before. You know, the reason I didn't call you was not because I didn't want you to be there.

  Eric Matthews : I'm listening.

  Cory Matthews : Because that's... that's not what I was thinking about.

  Eric Matthews : Okay, so what were you thinking?

  Cory Matthews : Well, I wasn't really thinking anything. You know, it's not that big a deal. I mean, maybe we'll do it again sometime.

  Eric Matthews : Really looking forward to that.

  Cory Matthews : Okay.

  Eric Matthews : So then why are you apologizing?

  Cory Matthews : Uh, well, I'm apologizing because you seemed hurt.

  Eric Matthews : That's very considerate.

  Cory Matthews : No problem.

  Eric Matthews : Are you really sorry or are you just sorry you got caught?

  Jack Hunter : [to Shawn]  You know, you're right. He does seem well-rested.

• Cory Matthews : Eric, come on. Why are you being such a jerk?

  Woman : [to Cory]  Excuse me, honey. How much is this frame?

  Cory Matthews : Just one second. Look, Eric, I've apologized. What do you want me to do?

  Eric Matthews : Nothing.

  Woman : It couldn't be very much 'cause there's a scratch on it.

  Cory Matthews : Lady, just one second, okay?

  Woman : I can't wait here forever.

  Cory Matthews : Lady, please. Eric, I'm not a mind reader, okay? What do you want me to do?

  Woman : You're not gonna sell anything if you ignore the customers.

  Cory Matthews : Could you be any more annoying?

  Man : Hey, buddy, watch your mouth. That's my wife.

  Cory Matthews : Could she be any more annoying?

  [the man punches Cory in the face] 

• Cory Matthews : [after Cory and Eric end up in the emergency room after the fight at the garage sale]  Eric, uh, I really appreciate the way you had my back today. You know, and thanks for waiting with me here, too.

  Eric Matthews : It's okay.

  Cory Matthews : No, it's not okay, you know? I mean, because you're my brother and today, you reminded me how important it is to have a big brother to look out for you and I'd like to think that I'd be there for you, too.

  Eric Matthews : I'm sure you would.

  Cory Matthews : Because that's what being brothers is all about, right? Being there for each other when one of us is in trouble.

  Eric Matthews : Yeah, as long as we don't have to see each other in between, right?

  Cory Matthews : What?

  Eric Matthews : Well, what about when we're not in trouble, Cor?

  Cory Matthews : Well, we can do stuff.

  Eric Matthews : I don't know. Today was a pretty big day, you know? A garage sale, a fist fight, ended up here at the emergency room. I'm not sure we can count on this kind of thing happening all the time.

• Cory Matthews : Eric, look, I'm really trying here, okay? I just want everything to be all right with us.

  Eric Matthews : Big brother, little brother. I got your back. You got mine. It's fine. Don't worry about it.

  Cory Matthews : Damn it, Eric. Is this all because I didn't let you clean out the stupid garage? All right, I'm sorry, okay? Now what do you want from me? What?

  Eric Matthews : Look, it's not about the garage, okay? It's about the fact that you shut me out of your life a long time ago.

  Cory Matthews : That's not true.

  Eric Matthews : It's... oh, well. Let's look at it this way. We used to do stuff together and now we don't.

  Cory Matthews : Yeah, we do.

  Eric Matthews : When?

  Cory Matthews : We just spent the whole day together.

  Eric Matthews : Today? Oh, yeah, you're right. I forgot. You know something? I take it back. It is about cleaning out the stupid garage. Dad wanted us to do that together and you chose to leave me out. Those are our memories! You have any idea how it felt to go down there and see Shawn and Topanga there instead of me?

  Cory Matthews : Look, Eric. We're brothers, okay?

  Eric Matthews : You know what? You're right. You're right. No, we're brothers. We're not friends. No, it means you don't have to like me and you don't.

• Cory Matthews : Eric, come on. This is stupid, all right? It's no big deal, you know? We'll go home, forget this ever happened, we'll clean out the garage and be done with it.

  Eric Matthews : Okay. You know what? While we're at it, why don't we just move all that crap to the end of the driveway and sell it?

  Cory Matthews : Why do you want to have a garage sale? I mean, that's... that's, like, our childhood.

  Eric Matthews : Well, yeah, but I mean, like you said, it doesn't really matter. Why don't we just sell it, split the money right down the center and then, you know, we can be done with it, go back to the way it used to be, you know? "Hey, how you doing?" "Fine, how you doing?" No need to apologize for anything.
