*MRS TINGLE*-he is a man…he will always pursue that which is unobtainable
1) I’m gonna burn in hell for this. 2) It’ll be a party!
1) What’s the matter, Mrs. Tingle? Getting a little scared yourself? 2) Scared? Oh,no, Dear, things are just starting to get fun.
Banks: Certainly Mrs. Tingle… (after Tingle leaves) Skank.
Banks: Now, Josephine was just a little slut-bag whore who was leaving her panties all over town. And Napoleon was a short little asshole who was off killing people because they were taller than he was, while Josephine was home gangbanging the townspeople.
Jo-Lynn: (after impersonating Linda Blair from The Exorcist) You really should get a TV.
Jo-Lynn: (to Tingle) I can’t believe you don’t have a TV. I mean, it’s like not having toilet paper. I could be at home watching Sally-Jesse or Oprah or Jerry. Where else are you gonna see; ‘man has sex change to become lesbian’?
Jo-Lynn: Mrs. Tingle, you are just full of surprises. If you weren’t such a bitch, I would really like you.
Jo-Lynn: There was just this little voice inside of me that just said, ‘Do it!’
Leigh-Anne: That’s why it’s a little voice, Jo-Lynn. Your not supposed to listen to it.
Leigh-Anne: (to Luke) What are you doing? You are such a loser!
Tingle: (interrupts) Oh really? I think the race is still on for that title, Ms. Watson.
Leigh-Anne: You won’t kill me.
Tingle: Oh no, what I have planned for you is a fate worse than death. You’ll wear that ‘nametag’ so well.
Luke: And don’t let her mess with your head.
Jo-Lynn: Don’t worry. The sow is mine.
Potter: Mrs. Tingle, I’ve wanted to say this for twenty years. Your fired!
Leigh-Anne: (finally getting the meaning of the word) Now that’s ‘ironic.’
Tingle: (approving) Well done, Ms. Watson.
Tingle: (after a student has fired a crossbow, nearly killing a student) Don’t tease us Mr. Barry. When you shoot, make it count.
Tingle: Even the innocent sometimes burn at the stake.
Tingle: Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday.
Potter: It’s not my birthday, Mrs. Tingle.
Tingle: No. Not your natal birthday, the AA one. You’ve been sober, how long is it?
Potter: Um… um… four years.
Tingle: There! I knew it was this week. Me and dates, you know that’s the curse of being a history teacher. Well, congratulations, that’s quite an accomplishment. Just think, not one sip of alcohol in over four years. That’s almost… (dead serious tone) UNBELIEVABLE.
Tingle: Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday.
Potter: It’s not my birthday, Mrs. Tingle.
Tingle: No. Not your natal birthday, the AA one. You’ve been sober, how long is it?
Potter: Um… um… four years.
Tingle: There! I knew it was this week. Me and dates, you know that’s the curse of being a history teacher. Well, congratulations, that’s quite an accomplishment. Just think, not one sip of alcohol in over four years. That’s almost… (dead serious tone) UNBELIEVABLE.
Tingle: Who do you think your fooling? You’re so scared I can smell it. Your fear is the most predictable thing about you you’ve lived your whole life in fear. Terrified of making a mistake. Scared to death you won’t get that ‘A’, that scholarship, that ticket out. Afraid you’ll never escape your mother and her nametag, or your father who won’t return your calls. That’s why you shun to Luke and every other boy who’s ever tried to lay his hands on you. You’re afraid of getting that ‘bad seed’, afraid of giving birth to a child you never wanted. A child you could only blame for your own wretched existence. Stuck in a small town, with a small life, destined to become that very thing you despise the most. I know all about it, Leigh-Anne. I wrote the book!
Tingle: Your work, Mr. Churner is very reminiscent of a young man who sat in that same chair some twenty years ago. He too had the words ‘no future’ printed on his forehead… give your father my best.
Don’t say I can’t act!
graduation is not til next week ms. watson!
Irony is the opposite of what is or might be expected. For example, if Ms. Watson was expecting an A on her history project, she might find the actual result to be rather ironic.
Oh LeAnn, you present yourself with such self assured tenacity, but your fear is showing around the edges. You can do better.
Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday. IT’S NOT MY BIRTHDAY. No, not your natal birthday, the AA one. How long has it been now? UUHH, F-FOUR YEARS. Ahh, now i knew it was this week. Me and dates. That’s the curse of being a history teacher you know. Just think, not one sip of alcohol in over four years, it’s almost…unbelievable!
Oh, Mrs. Tingle, threats are a sign of weakness.
sometimes the innocent burn at the stake.
The smartest girl in school caught cheating, it will be scandalous.
Why don’t you just grab a beer.
You poor dear. I pray you’re a good waitress.
