- Cory Matthews: Mr. Feeny, look, the show's proving that we're absorbing the right kind of knowledge. I mean, that's why we're the champions.
- [the class applauds]
- George Feeny: Hold it, hold it. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Champions of what, Mr. Matthews? Of a generation whose verbal and mathematical skills have sunk so low, when you have the highest technology at your fingertips? Gutenberg's generation thirsted for a new book every six months. Your generation gets a new web page every six seconds. And how do you use this technology? To beat King Koopa and save the Princess. Shame on you. You deserve what you get.
- [bell rings]
- George Feeny: Sit down! Stay where you are. For the first time, I choose to walk out on you.
- George Feeny: Ms. Lawrence, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Hunter. You're early for my class. Why are you early for my class?
- [Shawn raises his hand]
- George Feeny: Mr. Hunter?
- Shawn Hunter: Johann Gutenberg. Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450.
- George Feeny: Yes, I believe I taught you that.
- [Cory raises his hand]
- George Feeny: Mr. Matthews?
- Cory Matthews: Can you teach us something else?
- Susan Kalliback: This is an outrageous star demand. Is this the thanks I get for making you famous?
- Cory Matthews: Actually, nobody recognizes me without my brain head.
- George Feeny: I'm going to try and put this as kindly as possible: the show has turned into a circus, and you 3 are driving the tiny car.
