Episode Quotes |

Narrator: Ninth grade man. Noble, upright, virtuous. I went into my last year of Junior High thinking I knew all the answers. And suddenly all I had was questions. (Kevin flexes his hand) Plus a dislocated thumb.
| (Kevin enters a classroom for the first time, sits down and notices a beautiful girl named Madeline)
Narrator/Adult: Haw...haw...Uhnuhnhunhuhh...Gulp!
Kevin: (bends over and picks up Madeline's pencil from the floor) Excuse me. You uhh... dropped this. And I... hmm... eh...picked... picked it up. For you.
Madeline: Thank you - ...
Kevin: KE - K - Kevin.
(Sound of electrical buzzing noise as Madeline grabs the pencil)
Narrator/Adult: Fact!! Lead conducts electricity.
| Paul: I don't understand this.
Kevin: Huh...?
Paul: My schedule! Look what they gave me. Chemistry!
Kevin: So, what's wrong with that!?
Paul: Are you kidding? Don't you know what happens if I get into chemicals? I am allergic to soap!
Kevin: Paul...
Paul: I knew this year would be a disaster. What did you get?
Kevin: Uh. Let me see.
Paul: I bet you got something neat. Like astronomy. Or physics.
Narrator/Adult: Sure, something neat. Like, say...Industrial arts?? Shop? It was encouraging to know that the board of education had such confidence in my intellectual prowess.
( Kevin walks through the shop, then leans on a machine)
Shop Student: Hey, hey. Don't stand next to that machine!
Kevin: What? Why?
Shop Student: That baby ate Ray Spike's index fingers. It's kind of a shrine. You are new here, aren't you?
Kevin: Yeah. But by mistake.
Shop Student: Heh. That's what they all say...
Kevin: No really! See there's been a mistake on my schedule. (Kevin hands him his class schedule)
Narrator/Adult: If it had been a blueprint, this kid might have been able to read it. But since it was in English, it was pretty obvious, this kid didn't have a clue.
Kevin: Is there a teacher here?
Shop Student: Ah, yeah, Nestor. But you don't wanna talk to Nestor.
Narrator/Adult: Of course I did. After all he was a teacher, an employee of the public school system.
Kevin: Where is he?
Shop Student: Over there!
(Mr. Nestor is preparing to lift a band-saw as a show of strength)
Mr. Nestor: Awright. Let's go. I got it. It's up. It's clear. Awright, buttheads! Back to it.
Kevin: Uh, Mr. Nestor?
Mr. Nestor: Yo!
Kevin: Hi. I am Kevin Arnold.
Mr. Nestor: That so?
Kevin: Yeah. I wanna speak with you about my schedule.
Mr. Nestor: (listens with a deaf ear) Schedule? Heh?
Kevin: Yes, Sir. About this class.
Mr. Nestor: This class? Heh?
Kevin: Well, I think, possibly, there's been a mistake.
Mr. Nestor: Mistake. Ha?
Narrator/Adult: Okay. So far, so good. So far as I can tell.
Kevin: Yeah, well. The fact is that I am not very good in Industrial Arts. I think I'd be better at something like, uh, chemistry, or, uh...
Mr. Nestor: (to another kid) Martha! Your eyes, (pointing to his eyeglasses) watch your eyes! Bullethead. Oh, where were we?
Kevin: Well, as silly as it sounds, uh, I think they've got the wrong Arnold.
Mr. Nestor: Wrong Arnold. Heh?
Kevin: Uh, right. So...
Mr. Nestor: (to a kid using a tool wrong) Burber! Not the screwdriver, the chisel. Idiot! So, you want out? Is that it?
Kevin: Kind a. I mean if that would be all right with you.
Mr. Nestor: Okay. I'll let you out.
Narrator/Adult: There. Finally!
Mr. Nestor: There is one thing though. You gotta arm wrestle me for it!
Narrator/Adult: Uh-huh. Things were starting off with a bang. And it wasn't even lunch yet.
