- Jessie: What did you do, sell your parents' house again?
- Danny: Jessie, would you like to be my dance partner in the contest?
- Jessie: (Standing up) I'd love to...(Seeing how short Danny is) but I don't believe in dance contests.
- Screech: (To the doll he was dancing with after being turned down by Lisa) It's all your fault, I told you to let me lead!

- Zack: Like the crew of the Titanic.
- Zack: The moral of the story, gang? Well, it's simple: (Zack shows a credit card with the name Lisa on it) The Lisa Card, don't leave home WITH it.
- Zack: Screech even sold his body to science.
- Jessie: Yeah, they gave him twenty dollars to take it back.

- Zack: How's she doing? Let me put it another way: If Lisa were a car, she'd be recalled.
- Slater: I'm confused, sir. You know, maybe I'm just trying too hard to get girls to like me.
- Mr. Belding: Hey, now I can identify with that. This may come as a surprise to you, but when I was your age, I wasn't... well, you know... the hunk I am now!
- Slater: I can't believe this, sir! No, I thought you were Stud City!

Zack's cell phone rings, which is answered by Mr. Belding

- Screech: Yeah.
- Mr. Belding: Are there any -
- Screech: One.
- Mr. Belding: ...side effects? Did you say one?
- Screech: Yeah, but it's a secret. I'm not supposed to tell anyone that I can see the future.
- Mr. Belding: See the future? Screech, that's -
- Screech: Preposterous?
- Mr. Belding: Right.
- Mr. Belding: Now, where was I?
- Screech: You were about to say no one has the power to see the future.
- Mr. Belding: Right, Screech, no one has the power to see the future!
- Screech: Oops, I'll pick them up!
- Mr. Belding: Pick what up? (knocks over pencil holder) Uh... Screech, I'm just curious. My mother-in-law is staying with us indefinitely. By any chance, can you tell me -
- Screech: She'll be gone by Tuesday.
- Mr. Belding: ALRIGHT!
- Jessie: You know, you guys, I just remembered; there was one time that I did not get an A. I was in the fourth grade, Mr. Simmons had a nervous breakdown and gave the entire class L's and Q's.
- Kelly: Why is getting an A so important to you?
- Jessie: It's not important. Alright, it is. I know it shouldn't be, but I just can't help myself. It's my whole identity.
- Kelly: What are you talking about?
- Jessie: Will you stop hollering at me? Everyone's gotta be something, right? She's the fashionable one, you're the popular one and, who am I?
- Kelly: The wacko one.
- [Students got slaughtered by Mr. Testaverde's midterm. Test results are in]
- Kelly: I do not believe this, C-! [Kelly grabs Zack's lapels after he overconfidently claimed he could help her] Zack Morris, I am a forgiving person, but this is going to take a very long time!
- Jessie: Lisa, what is that funny looking letter next to my name?
- Lisa: It's a Q, Jessie.
- Jessie: No, really, really, I can take it. Whatever I got, I deserved. For the first time in my life, I took the easy way out. I'm prepared to face the consequences.
- Lisa: It's a B, Jessie. [Jessie faints]
- Screech: Zack, I got an A!
- Zack: Hey, Screech, how did you do that?
- Screech: Well, I was seeing so many pictures, I just stayed up all night and went over everything.
- Zack: Ohh, you cheated! You studied!
- Slater: As for me, D+, and now we go to the bottom of the barrel, Zack Morris, F- for scamming. I get back my bomber jacket, and you can use your cellular phone to order me a pizza.

- Lisa: Eric, it's not what you think.
- Eric: Is it true, yes or no?
- Lisa: Yes, but you don't understand...
- Eric: Oh, I understand. So, when you told me you liked me, that was a lie too? Lisa, I never wanna see you again. (walks out of the Max)
- Lisa: Eric, wait! Eric, listen to me!
- Jessie: Lisa, is that true?
- Lisa: (crying) Yes, but when I took the tickets, I didn't like him. Now, I don't like me. (Jessie consoles Lisa)
- Jessie (to Eric): You are a selfish, inconsiderate excuse for a human being. If I was a guy, I'd punch you out.
- Eric: Yeah. Too bad you're just a chick.
- Jessie: Just a chick? Just a CHICK?! (punches Eric right in the face)
- Eric: I can't believe you just did that!
- Jessie: C'mon! Want more?! You know, I was really excited about you coming here. I never had a brother, and I thought we could have fun! Be close and do things together. I tried to make us like a real family, but you wouldn't even give it a chance! And you know what? I don't want a brother anymore. (she storms out of the room)

- Jessie: Ms. Billingham, is the only reason you want me now is because Harvard wants me, too?
- Ms. Billingham: Well, Ms. Spano, we are the "Harvard of the West."
- Jessie: Well Ms. Billingham, thanks, but no thanks. If Stansbury is that hypocritical, then they'll just have to do without Jessica Spano.
- Slater: AND, without A.C. Slater.

- Screech: Do you have any brochures I can look at, so I--- (Kelly yanks him by the collar)

- Jessie: Then I won't be there to see it.
- Slater: I never thought I'd be dating a real princess.
- Christina: And I never thought I'd be dating a real American Cheesecake.
- Slater: That's beefcake.
- Lisa (to Jessie): Girl, if I were Leslie, I woulda slapped you until my hand hurt, and then I woulda slapped you for making it hurt.

- Jessie: Aww, that's nice.
- Tommy: I'm sorry...you ugly old bat! (runs away)
- Jessie: You little brat!!
- Kelly (to Laura): Thinking about Zack?

- Slater: Hey, you started it, man, by making me look like a jerk at the Max!
- Zack: Well, that's what you are.
- Slater: What did you say?
- Zack: You heard me. Now why don't you get out of my face?

- Zack: Then I'll just have to make you, punk!
- [Zack and Slater begin fighting]
Student-Teacher Week [4.2]
edit- Zack: (after he takes Slater's side in skipping Kelly's test) Come on, Kelly, I bet a lot on this game.
- Kelly: And I bet a lot on you. First, as a friend, then as a boyfriend, now as a principal. I used to think you were something special. I guess I lost that bet.
- Slater: Well, you're special to me, Zack. Really special!
- Zack: Why be a teacher when you can be a principal? It's the easiest job around. You don't do anything. Ask Belding.

edit- Ken Kelly: Zack, can you be at the Max today at 4:00?

- Mr. Belding (interrupts Zack): In detention. I told you not to use this phone on school property again.
- (After Mr. Belding shows up Zack and wins the trip to Hawaii)
- Mr. Belding: A trip to Hawaii? This is great! Now I have an anniversary gift for Mrs. Belding! And to think, all this time, I just thought you were trying to get out of detention.
- Zack: Yeah, I was doing this, all for you. (mumbling to himself) Took weeks of planning.

edit- Zack: What's wrong, Lisa?
- Lisa: This ring put a green stain on my finger!
- Zack: Why would it do that?
- Lisa: Because it's not real gold, DUH!
- Zack: Well, maybe it's just yours. (the rest of the gang reveals green marks after removing their rings) Maybe it's just ours.
- (More students show up with green marks on their fingers)
- Nerd: There he is!

- Screech: No.
- Zack: See?
- Screech: Except for the fact that he's dead.

School Song [4.24]
edit- [When the gang re-writes Screech's school song]
- Screech: There you are, you butchers! You've totally changed my song!
- Lisa: No, we didn't, Screech. It's still about Bayside.
- Slater: Yeah, and we used most of the words you did. "The", "and", "it". "Bayside".
- Screech: Oh. Well, in that case, it's okay then.
- Bayside Glee Club (singing their school song): It seems like only yesterday we started, but soon we'll put away our books and pens. We'll go on with our lives once we have parted, but how can we say farewell to our friends? The double dates, the parties, and the dances, crammin' for a midterm until 3:00. The football games, the Max, and the romances, soon Bayside will be just a memory. Our 4 years here have all become unraveled, and so our high school story finally ends.

- Screech: Class of 2003, let me leave you with one wise thought. Be kind to all geeks, dweebs and nerds. Ten years from now, they'll be the ones with all the money.

- Zack: High school is the best time of your life. So love, live it, and if you have any time left, do some homework.
Graduation [4.26]
edit- Jessie (after Lisa gives Screech a kiss): Lisa, I thought you didn't like him. Why did you kiss him?
- Lisa: I'm gonna miss him, he's a decent guy.
- Jessie: Lisa, he once got dressed, and THEN took a shower. He may be decent, but he's still a dorky guy.
- Lisa: Well, if it wasn't for that "dorky guy," you wouldn't be valedictorian! Ohhhh...
- Jessie: Valedictorian? What do you mean?
- Lisa: Forget it. I promised not to tell.
- Jessie: Lisa! I have to know! How did he make me valedictorian?
- Lisa: All right. Screech's average was higher than yours, but he told Mr. Belding to let you be valedictorian because it meant so much to you. This sure would be a much better world if there were more dorky guys, don't you think?
- [last lines of the series]
- Zack: How about that? I actually graduated high school! [jumps off the stage] Right here, guys! [graduation caps go flying as the studio audience applauds and the theme song plays one last time]

- Kelly: Who are you?

- Jessie: Slater, since we're together, I think we should share the household chores.
- Slater: Sure, you cook and I'll eat.

- Zack: Kelly, this news disappoints me verily! I thought you and I could go over some more scenes from "Romeo and Juliet".
- Kelly: Oh that's a good idea, Zack. Sorry, Slater.
- Slater: What? I don't believe this. You'd rather study than go to the beach?

- Jessie: Not me, I'm in perfect health. I eat properly, exercise daily, get the right amount of rest.
- Slater: You sound like a commercial for Oat Bran.
- Lisa: What's wrong Kelly?
- Kelly: Men, especially Zack Morris.
- Slater: Hey, don't judge us by our worst specimen.
- Jessie: Eh, I hate coffee. Suzy, can I have another cup please?
- Zack: So why are you drinking it?
- Screech: What else is she gonna do with the coffee Zack?
- Zack: Use your head as a donut and dunk you in it.
- Screech: No way, my head would never fit in the cup.
- Slater: [talking to Jessie] Guys are great at math. It's just a shame you weren't born a man.
- Jessie: Yeah, it's a shame you weren't born one either.
[after Jessie storms off in a fit, a group of students are looking at her]
- Kelly: She's my friend... but not my best friend. Actually, I hardly even know her.
[Kelly has just stormed away from Zack]
- Screech: I'm leaving, too! I'll send for my ant farm.
- Lisa: Screech, stop and smell the roses.
- Screech: Oh, I smelled the roses once and a bee flew up my nose!
- Screech: Oh no, Zack! Last time you had an idea, I wound up naked in a jar full of jellybeans!
