• Paul Hunham : I guess I thought I could make a difference. I mean, I used to think I could prepare them for the world even a little. Provide standards and grounding like Dr. Greene always drilled into us. But, uh, the world doesn't make sense anymore. I mean, it's on fire. The rich don't give a shit. Poor kids are cannon fodder. Integrity is a punch line. Trust is just a name on a bank.

  Miss Lydia Crane : Well... look, if that's all true, then now is when they most need someone like you.

• Miss Lydia Crane : So, how'd you get stuck holding over? I thought it was Mr. Endicott's year.

  Paul Hunham : No, I know. I'm being punished. Yeah, Dr. Woodrup is...

  Miss Lydia Crane : A pompous ass with a dictator complex? Oops! What I meant to say was, well, he's a lovely compassionate educator with a really groovy beard.

• Paul Hunham : [Referring to Woodrup]  You know, I've had a lot of former students ascend to positions of authority. He's the only one I've ever had to report to.

  Miss Lydia Crane : He was your student?

  Paul Hunham : Oh, yes. My first year teaching, and he was an asshole even then.
