  George Feeny : That's because you are seeing your students succeed and grow right in front of your eyes.

  George Feeny : Yes, it does my boy. Indeed it does.

• George Feeny : Oh, Eric. I just had a phone call. I need to ask you a favor.

  Eric Matthews : Oh, no problem. Just give me your keys, I'll mow your lawn and water those ugly little plants.

  George Feeny : You don't think I'd actually let you inside my house? No, no. No, what I'm talking about is a lot more important than watering plants.

  Eric Matthews : Look, Mr. Feeny, don't get my hopes up that you're actually gonna trust me with something, okay? I'll wash your car. No biggie.
