Quotes 

• Amy Matthews : Okay Cory, you educate me. You tell me what love means to you.

  Cory Matthews : Mom listen, I haven't been with Topanga for 22 years but we have been together for 16. Ok, that's a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were 2 we were best friends. I mean I, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, I knew her favorite food. Then we got to be 6 and Eric made fun of me because it wasn't cool to have a best friend that's a girl, or even know a girl.

  Eric Matthews : Yeah, and you listened to me. Idiot.

  Cory Matthews : So for the next 7 years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those years the lost years.

  Topanga Lawrence : You were the one who made him throw dirt me?

  Eric Matthews : You were a girl, noogie head.

  Cory Matthews : Then when I was 13 Mom, she put me up against my locker, she kissed me. I mean she, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance, she always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said, all I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about. And when I'm with her I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that's, that's what I think is love Mom. When I'm better because she's here. And now she won't be. So I'm finished.

  Topanga Lawrence : I think it's a good thing that Cory is the only boy I've ever loved. And I was looking forward to doing all of the things that people do who are in love. With Cory. And not just with some guy in Pittsburgh because I'm there.

• Mr. George Feeny : Even though this isn't a classroom at the moment, would you mind if I taught you a lesson anyway?

  Topanga Lawrence : Please.

  Mr. George Feeny : Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when I cared for someone as deeply as you two care for each other now.

  Cory Matthews : You believe we love each other?

  Mr. George Feeny : And for no reason I understood, my wife was taken from me, and I haven't been so deeply in love since.

  Cory Matthews : [to Topanga]  Feeny believes we love each other!

  Mr. George Feeny : I believe that when you find love, you hold on to it, and cherish it! Because there is nothing finer, and may never come again. And that, my dears, is the most important thing I could teach you.

• Amy Matthews : Topanga, your parents don't know you're here, do they?

  Eric Matthews : No. No, they don't.

  Alan Matthews : Topanga, your parents are gonna be very worried about you.

  Topanga Lawrence : Why would they be worried about me now? They weren't worried about me when they decided to move. I told them how much Cory meant to me and how I couldn't be away from him. I guess I was too young to say things like that, that I didn't know.

  Alan Matthews : So you ran away from them?

  Topanga Lawrence : I ran away to Cory.

  Alan Matthews : Okay... It just got serious now.

  Amy Matthews : Topanga, I'm gonna have to call them.

  Cory Matthews : No, Mom! Didn't you hear what she just said? Her parents don't understand her. Just like you two don't understand me. We want to be together, okay? That's what we want!

  Amy Matthews : Topanga, I know you miss Cory. But to come here, without your parent's permission, that's just wrong!

  Cory Matthews : How could it be wrong, Mom, if she loves me enough to do that? I mean, I'm sorry I didn't do it myself.
