- Topanga Lawrence: I should go.
- Cory Matthews: No. Topanga, you're not leaving your own wedding reception.
- Topanga Lawrence: [to Amy] I'm sorry for any pain I've caused.
- [leaves the house]
- Cory Matthews: Topanga, wait.
- [to Amy]
- Cory Matthews: How could you say that to her?
- Amy Matthews: I'm sorry.
- Cory Matthews: You're sorry? So for fifteen years, you've been lying to me?
- Amy Matthews: No.
- Cory Matthews: No, you've been lying to me about how you feel about us and you've been lying to me about how you feel about her.
- Amy Matthews: I want what I believe is best for you, Cory and Topanga...
- Cory Matthews: What's best for us, Mom, is for you to trust us! I love her! All right? I will always love her. And you know something else? We didn't get married because she wanted you to be there!
- [leaves the house as well]
- Shawn Hunter: [to Alan and Amy] Can I crash on your guys' couch? I don't want to be up this late with all the creeps and weirdoes.
- George Feeny: [walks into the house] How you doing?
- Alan Matthews: [to Amy] Come on, it's 3:15. Only creeps and weirdoes are up now.
- Eric Matthews: [walks into the house] How you doing?
- Eric Matthews: [to Alan and Amy] What are you guys doing up? The only people up now are creeps and weirdoes.
- Shawn Hunter: [walks into the house] How you doing?
- Alan Matthews: [to Cory] Why don't we let them talk?
- Cory Matthews: Because I'm afraid she's gonna kill Topanga and bury her in the sandbox!
- Cory Matthews: Hold it! Remember me, Cory? Don't I get to do anything? No, no, no! I don't get to propose, I don't get to put the ring on her hand, I don't get to do nothing!
- Alan Matthews: Welcome to marriage.
- Amy Matthews: [during her toast at Cory and Topanga's wedding reception] I have watched these two grow up. Boy, have I. And here they are now, adults, just fresh out of high school. Don't know anything about the world at all. I'm sorry. I can't do this. This is a mistake and I do not support it.
- [to Topanga]
- Amy Matthews: Why couldn't you have just gone to Yale?
- Eric Matthews: [raises his glass happily] Here, here!
- Eric Matthews: Well, I guess it's time for Feeny's favorite student to make a speech, huh? For 40 years, I have watched you educate young men and women. Boy, have I. I'm sorry. I can't do this. This is a mistake and I do not support it!
- [points at Topanga]
- Eric Matthews: Why couldn't you have just gone to Yale?
- Amy Matthews: [to Topanga] It's very hard for a mother to think that another woman is going to take her place with her little boy.
- Topanga Lawrence: I could never take your place. I just love your little boy, Mrs. Matthews.
- Amy Matthews: Amy. Use my name.
- Topanga Lawrence: Amy.
- Amy Matthews: And if there is going to be another person to take my place, I want it to be you.
- Topanga Lawrence: Thank you.
- Topanga Lawrence: I'm sorry, Cory.
- Cory Matthews: Wow!
- Topanga Lawrence: I don't know what to say.
- Cory Matthews: Do! You know, "do"? It's the first half of your favorite word, "don't."
- Topanga Lawrence: I don't like your tone.
- Cory Matthews: You don't like... I drive 1,000 miles to marry her and she don't like my tone. That is really rich.
- Topanga Lawrence: I want my family to be at my wedding. I want your family to be there. Cory. I want to wear a wedding dress. A white, lacy wedding dress.
- Cory Matthews: Of course, white. The way we're going, bright white. Snow white. Whiter than the white-hot light of a thousand burning suns!
- Topanga Lawrence: How long are you gonna be mad at me?
- Cory Matthews: Ten minutes.
- George Feeny: I couldn't sleep.
- Alan Matthews: Why not?
- George Feeny: Well, you got all the lights on, everybody's yelling and Eric parked his car in my garden.
- Eric Matthews: So? What the hell do you care? You're moving. Go ahead, Feeny, retire. Take care of yourself. That's what you're best at.
- Amy Matthews: The man has given the last 40 years of his life teaching people.
- Eric Matthews: Don't care. Kill his flowers. Kill them.
- George Feeny: Eric, when someone you care for makes a considered decision to change his life, then those who do care should offer their support and respect his decision.
- Eric Matthews: Oh, Feeny, you had me at "Eric," man. Come here.
- [hugs Mr. Feeny]
- Alan Matthews: You're right, George. We should accept what they've done and do something to show our support. I mean, after all, we're talking about Cory and Topanga here.
- George Feeny: Cory and Topanga? I was talking about a going-away party for me.
- Cory Matthews: [to Topanga] We ran off together and you know what we did? Nothing. Our big dramatic moment, and you know what we did? Nothing.
- Topanga Lawrence: I don't care about a big dramatic moment, Cory! It's not right to run off together because we think we have something to prove. When we get married, I want to have a big cake. I want doves.
- Cory Matthews: No doves. You were right. You did the right thing. Our marriage should be a celebration, not a secret.
- Topanga Lawrence: Thank you.
- Cory Matthews: You owe me the rest of your life, you know
- Topanga Lawrence: It's yours.
- Amy Matthews: [about Cory and Topanga] They're too young to even think about marriage.
- Alan Matthews: I understand that you don't want our little boy to make a mistake, but he is not a little boy anymore.
- Amy Matthews: Please. I still lay out his clothes and what she wants to do...
- Alan Matthews: Topanga.
- Amy Matthews: Right. What she wants to do...
- Alan Matthews: Topanga. Use her name.
- Amy Matthews: Right. What Topanga wants to do is...
- Alan Matthews: Lay his clothes out for him.
- Amy Matthews: What?
- Alan Matthews: Take care of him. Be there for him. Amy, do you think that this would bother you as much if this was some girl who couldn't take care of him as well as you have? Do you really think that Topanga isn't right for him?
- Amy Matthews: It isn't about that. They are too young. He's not ready. I'm not ready.
- [brushes away her tears]
- Amy Matthews: Yes, she's right for Cory. She loves him. And yes, she... she'll take care of him and he'll be happy. Oh, God. I'm jealous of her.
- Alan Matthews: [to Cory] I'm really proud of you, Cory. You stood up for what you believed in and you made your own decision.
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, but, I mean, Topanga was right. It would have been wrong to get married just because you said we shouldn't.
- Alan Matthews: I raised a good man.
- Cory Matthews: You calling me a man?
- Alan Matthews: Yeah. You want to get off that swing and do something about it?
- Cory Matthews: Yeah, I do.
- [he and Alan hug each other]
- Eric Matthews: Jack, Jack, Jackie, Jack, Jack. Live a healthy life, eat all your vegetables, honor your father and your mother, and heaven will reward you with a hot-hot-hottie-hot hottie-hottie-hot-hot for a roommate.
- Eric Matthews: [to Rachel] Hey, I bought you this bird. It reminded me of you because it has bright red feathers and it eats like a bird.
