Quotes 

• Dewey Finn : [on sticking it to "The Man"]  Yes! But, you can't just say it, man. You've gotta feel it in your blood and guts! If you wanna rock, you gotta break the rules. You gotta get mad at the man! And right now, I'm the man. That's right, I'm the man, and who's got the guts to tell me off? Huh? Who's gonna tell me off?

  Freddy Jones : Shut the hell up, Schneebly!

  Dewey Finn : That's it Freddy, that's it! Who can top him?

  Alicia : Get outta here, stupid ass!

  Dewey Finn : Yes, Alicia!

  Summer Hathaway : You're a joke! You're the worst teacher I've ever had!

  Dewey Finn : Summer, that is great! I like the delivery because I felt your anger!

  Summer Hathaway : [proudly]  Thank you.

  Lawrence : You're a fat loser and you have body odor.

  Dewey Finn : ...All right, all right! Now, is everybody nice and pissed off?

• [improvising an educational song] 

  Dewey Finn : Math is a wonderful thing. Math is a really cool thing. So get off your ath, let's do some math. Math, math, math, math, math. Three minus four is?

  Summer Hathaway : Negative one.

  Dewey Finn : That's right. And six times a billion is?

  Marco : Six billion?

  Dewey Finn : Nailed it. And fifty-four is forty-five more than what is the answer, Marta?

  Marta : Nine.

  Dewey Finn : No, it's eight.

  Marta : ...No, it's nine.

  Dewey Finn : ...Yes, I was testing you... it's nine. And that's a magic number.

• [Dewey is lounging at his desk] 

  Michelle : Are you going to teach us anything? Or are we just going to sit here?

  Dewey Finn : [mumbles]  Just do whatever you want.

  Summer Hathaway : I want to learn from my teacher.

  Dewey Finn : [loudly]  Besides that! Freddy, what do you like to do?

  Freddy Jones : [drawing flames on the name tag on his desk]  I dunno... burn stuff?

  Dewey Finn : [to the entire class]  Look, just go out and have recess.

  Summer Hathaway : My parents don't spend $15,000 a year for recess.

• Summer Hathaway : Groupie?

  Dewey Finn : What's the matter?

  Summer Hathaway : You want me to be a groupie?

  Dewey Finn : Well, a groupie is an important job.

  Summer Hathaway : I researched groupies on the Internet. They're sluts! They sleep with the band!

  Dewey Finn : No, that's not true! They're like cheerleaders.

  Summer Hathaway : I don't want to be a cheerleader. Look, my mother's a room parent, and she's not gonna be happy when she hears about this.

  Dewey Finn : Okay, I didn't want to say this to you in front of the other kids 'cause I didn't want make them jealous, but I made a special position just for you. And it's the most important job of all: band manager.

• Summer Hathaway : [concerned]  What's wrong?

  Dewey Finn : What's wrong, Summer? Didn't you hear? We lost!

  Freddy Jones : Hey, chill out, dude. Rock isn't about getting an A. The Sex Pistols never won anything.

  Lawrence : Don't let the Man get you down.

  Zack Mooneyham : [deeply agrees]  Yeah I mean, dude, you gotta cheer up. We played a kick-ass show.

  Dewey Finn : We did, didn't we? It was unbelievable, wasn't it?

  Summer Hathaway : [deeply agrees]  Yeah.

• Dewey Finn : [to the class on his first day]  Okay, Miss Dumbum ain't your teacher today, I am. And I have a headache and the runs. So I say, time for recess!

  Summer Hathaway : But Mr. S, that poster charts everyone's performance. We get gold stars when we master the material covered. How do we get gold stars if we just have recess?

  Dewey Finn : [after looking at the work performance chart poster where Summer has received many gold stars]  What kind of a sick school is this?

• Dewey Finn : [after the kids have chosen non-rock "influences"]  You guys, this project is called "Rock Band"! I'm talking about bands that *rock*. Led Zeppelin!

  [the entire class gives him blank stares] 

  Dewey Finn : Don't tell me you guys have never gotten the Led out. Jimmy Page? Robert Plant? Ring any bells? What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motorhead?

  [exasperated] 

  Dewey Finn : UGH, WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THIS PLACE? Summer, you're the class whatever. Go to the board.

  Summer Hathaway : [corrects him]  Factotum.

  Dewey Finn : Factorer. 8:15 to 10, rock history. 10 to 11, rock appreciation in theory. And then band practice till the end of the day.

  Frankie : What about math?

  Dewey Finn : No, not important.
