Favorite Scene

the ending with the reading of the scores, of course :)

but a few other quotes I liked:
Jaime: I could be making more money, with less hours, and have people treat me with respect.
wife: Respect? Jaime, those kids love you.

Jaime: We're going to have to stay late again. Of course you know, we have pizza because they deliver. We can get fried chicken, hamburgers... with cheese. We'll need donations. No really, you owe me money anyway; you don't deserve the grades you're getting.

Jaime: You're like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!

this last one I've actually used on my kids so many times that I've heard them using it on each other. :) I don't know if it's an old line or what but this was the first place I ever heard it.

It is a pretty good movie. It shows how a teacher cared about his students and was able to get them to rewrite their destinies. I'm not so sure how many of them would actually go along with the extra classes, though, but I guess because Escalante was so interesting to them, they went along for the ride.

Oh, you were asking for your favorite scene. Well, I liked it when Escalante dressed up like a chef and we hear a kid saying, "I want a burger. Hold the french fries, hold the onions, and the pickle."

Angel: I strangled him and his body's decomposing in my locker!"

Whenever the class goes "LAATE!" (that's what my school does lol)

And when the kids fixed up Mr. Escalante's car

Lol... "whats callcoolus"

There are soooooo many to choose from, so I'll give a few.

The scene where Angel's friend, 'The Finger Man' when asked whether he know his timetables sarcastically claims he knows 'my ones, my twos, my threes' (giving the third single finger at the teacher).

The scene where Angel is sitting, trying to act tough while Mr. Escalante is asking him 'Minus two plus two...come on...you're embarrassing yourself in front of the whole class...minus two plus two....I'll break your neck like a toothpick....' to which Angel gives him an evil gaze and replies 'Zero'.

Also, the scene where the girl is fed up with doing all the quizzes and attempts to get her friends into a mutany. It backfires and she is left on her own to explain why she didn't do her homework. Angel hollers from the back of the class 'Give her the chair!' and the rest of the class chants 'chair, chair, chair..'

Lots of classic scenes to choose from!

I like the part where he’s hearing the test scores and immediately says, “I want the original scores reinstated”

"I want the original scores reinstated" - He didn't even wait to hear more, he knew right away.

"What's calcoolus?"

The mock crucifixion

"Minus two plus two"
