Episode Quotes
 
Nick Reed: I saw that.
Allie: Saw what?
Nick Reed: You looking at me.
Allie: I was not looking at you.
Nick Reed: Yeah, you were.
Allie: You're delusional.
Nick Reed: It's cool, I don't mind.
Allie: I was looking at the doorway which I was gonna use to get to my next class.
Nick Reed: Which is in the opposite direction.
 
Tom: You know, you might want to ease the students into your way of doing things.
Jing Li: It's not my way... it's our way. At least it used to be.
 
Bryan: I seen this scenario before, it's pretty bleak.
Trip: What're you talking about?
Bryan: She's seeing you as a friend, man. You're only three hours away from 'shoe shopping'.
Trip: 'Shoe shopping'?
Bryan: As soon as she takes you shoe shopping, you become an accessory, like... her best gay pal or her favourite handbag or something.
 
Nick Reed: This is stupid. You get off on torture, man, that's your business.
Jing Li: You think you know anything about martial arts?
Nick Reed: Yeah. Do you?
Jing Li: Show me.
 
Allie: What were you gonna say, Trip?
Trip: Well, he was acting all suspicious - talking on the phone in Chinese.
Nick Reed: Hm, maybe because... he is Chinese.
 
Tom: Well, at first, I thought it was just something to do until I got settled in but then the kids started coming in and I could see it was making a difference. I know now that this is exactly what I wanna do with my life.
Beth Rodgers: Look, all your life, you've beat the odds, you've fought back. You have to again. Don't desert these kids.
Tom: You're right.
 
Tom: Look, I dunno how to say this, seifu.
Master Li: Best way to say anything is to open your mouth and let the words come out.
 
Tom: Now, I'm not asking, I'm telling you... leave my school.
Jing Li: You think you can defeat me, Tom? Hmm? Throw yourself at my feet. Beg for forgiveness. Or I'll kill you.
Tom: You're not worthy of anyone's respect.
 
Master Li: (to Tom) Sometimes I think tradition sucks.
