Dewey Finn : Hey, you've got some everybody wants: You've got talent, girl! You have an incredible singing voice, and I'm not just saying that. You've heard of Aretha Franklin, right?
[Tomika nods]
Dewey Finn : She's a big lady. But when she sings, she blows people's minds. Everyone wants to party with Aretha! And, you know who else has a weight issue?
Tomika : Who?
Dewey Finn : Me. But when I get up there and start doing my thing, people worship me! Because I'm sexy! And chubby, man.
Tomika : Why aren't you on a diet?
Dewey Finn : Because I like to eat. Is that such a crime? Look, you know what? That's not even the point. The thing is, you're a rock star now. All you gotta do is just go out there and rock your heart out. People are gonna dig you, I swear. Let's go out here and show 'em what you got, what do you say?

Lawrence : [to Freddy] You're an idiot.
Freddy Jones : Hey, shut up!
Lawrence : No, you shut up!
Freddy Jones : Hey, you wanna go?
Tomika : Hey, if you touch him, I'll shove those sticks down your throat, got it?
[Freddy retreats; Tomika turns to the class]
Tomika : Mr. S was cool. We worked too long and hard not to play the show!
Freddy Jones : Okay, so what are we supposed to do?
Alicia : [stroking a stuffed toy Owl] I say we get out of here and play the damn show!
