- Screech: [Zack just won the track meet] Zack, I haven't seen you run that fast since the time you stole Cindy Zefferelli's bathing suit.
- Zack: Chief Henry?
- Chief Henry: Yeah.
- Zack: Hi I'm Zack Morris from Miss Wentworth's class.
- Chief Henry: Oh, the kid who thinks he's part Indian. With that blond hair, you must be from some Malibu surfing tribe.
- Zack: Why couldn't the white men have got along with the Indians?
- Chief Henry: Why can't Arabs get along with Israelis? And why can't I get along with my ex-wife?
- Jessie: [Giving her family tree report] My ancestors shipped black people, slaves. Ok? They were slave traders. Lisa, can you ever forgive me? I'm so ashamed.
- Lisa: Jessie, you had nothing to do with it.
- Jessie: Just say it. You hate me. Unleash those centuries of repressed anger.
- Lisa: Jessie, you're being silly.
- Zack: [Pointing at the book Henry lent him] Why didn't you tell me my ancestor was a famous chief?
- Chief Henry: Well, you weren't ready to listen.
- Chief Henry: I know. But I'm ready now.
