Notorious (1994)

William Daniels: George Feeny

Quotes 

• George Feeny : As Principal of this high school, I'm expected to keep order. Unchecked, these pranks undermine my authority and breed disrespect.

  Cory Matthews : So I guess I get punished for something I didn't do.

  George Feeny : Name the person who did, and you walk out of here scot-free.

  Cory Matthews : I'm sorry. I can't do that.

• Cory Matthews : So how long am I suspended for?

  George Feeny : You're not. Detention for five days. One for each letter in Weeny. Which in this instance, should properly be spelled W-E-E-N-I-E, shouldn't it, Mr. Hunter?

  Shawn Hunter : [to Cory]  You told him?

  Cory Matthews : What do you think?

  Shawn Hunter : I think you wouldn't. I'm an idiot.

  George Feeny : He refused to rat you out, Mr. Hunter, and he now faces a week of detention in your honor, but the punishment for not being caught, Mr. Hunter, is far, far worse

  Shawn Hunter : I did it, Mr. Feeny. I confess.

  George Feeny : I will be watching you every day of your high school career, which in your case could be decades.

  Shawn Hunter : But I just confessed!

  George Feeny : Too late, Mr. Hunter! You are my new special friend

  [Mr. Feeny leaves and Shawn turns to Cory] 

  Shawn Hunter : Why didn't you turn me in?

• George Feeny : To be somebody special, is a quality from within, Mr. Matthews. To give you an example, I think it's a very rare quality for you to put a friend's welfare before your own.

  Cory Matthews : But just a second ago, you wanted me to rat on him.

  George Feeny : As the new principal, yes, but as your teacher, as someone who lived next door and watched you grow up, I never expected it for a moment.
