[On the School TV] Attention, students, this is Max Keeble speaking. First, I'd like to say to my friends, Megan and Robe, that I, I know that I acted like a jerk, and I'm sorry for ever getting you involved in this. I screwed up, but you guys are my best friends, and that's forever.
[Jindrake is walking through the halls] I don't know what else to say, but I'm sorry.
[Jindrake stops and backs up to see the TV] Probably doesn't matter to you anymore, but I'm
not moving.
[Jindrake: [notices Max on TV, and runs to the office] Keeble!] And McGinty and Dobbs. It's me you want, so leave my friends alone. I may have run before, but I am all through running now. You want me, I'll be at the parking lot, 3:00.

[Jindrake: You've acted like a criminal, so I'm going to treat you like a criminal.] [Jindrake points model cannon at Max] I'm not a criminal. People who do crimes are criminals, like you.

This Thursday, Superintendent Knebworth will be here to inspect the school. And so I am upgrading my policy of zero tolerance to one of...sub-zero tolerance, which is more than zero.

And now, without any further ado...what's that I hear? The pitter-patter of little feet? Allow me to introduce to you the newest addition to the Curtis Junior High School Cottontails! Three foreign exchange students from Eastern Europe and their names are...unimportant because they're here to lead us to gridiron glory! Why, all they need is a place to play! Students, I give you your new football stadium!

You may be under the impression that I encourage horseplay and malarky. I don't encourage it. I ex-courage it. It means the opposite of encourage. Look it up. And so, young man, remember, study rhymes with buddy. Scram.

And let me just remind the citizens of Curtis Junior High that we are now T-minus...several hours until the Superintendent Knebworth visit. That is all. Thank you.

Dobbs: Keeble! Caught your act in the assembly! Looks like you could use some help with managing your portfolio.
Max Keeble: Hey, that's my lunch money!

Principal Jindrake: What is the meaning of this?
Max Keeble: Hey, I didn't do that.
Principal Jindrake: So you want to save the filthy little beasts, eh? Perhaps you want me to give the animals my car. Do you want me to give my car to the smelly goat?
Max Keeble: Goats don't drive, sir.
Principal Jindrake: I don't care what you want me to do. The smelly goat will never get my car.
Ever.
Max Keeble: The animals have nowhere to go. Some creep's closing down the shelter.
Principal Jindrake: I'm closing down the shelter, silly boy.
Max Keeble: What?
Principal Jindrake: All I need now is the right bulldozer. I'm thinking big and yellow. Where did you think I was going to build Knebworth stadium? In your house?
[sarcastically] Ha, ha. Your house. That's rich. There wouldn't be room.
Max Keeble: Whoa.

Principal Jindrake: So the second teacher says, "I agree. That's why they call it a lounge." Ha. Well, here we are in the Curtis Junior High library.
Superintendent Knebworth: Hmm. Smallish.
Principal Jindrake: Yes, but we're biggish on books...especially sports books. In fact, the one we're waiting for is
Crazy Legs: The Bobby Knebworth Story.
