• Miss Evelyn Togar : Just what do you have to say for yourself - young lady?

  Riff Randell : I've seen the errors of my ways. I'd just like to say to all students everywhere. That you may think the school is yours for awhile. But, it's always run by the Principal and her administration. Vince Lombardi High is - is your school Miss Togar. So you can have it.

  Miss Evelyn Togar : Well, I'm very happy to see that you've come to your senses. And what would you have done with the school anyway?

  Riff Randell : Rock the roof off it. Hit it, Marky!

  Joey Ramone : [singing]  Rock, rock, rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll High School, Well I don't care about history, Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll High School, 'Cause that's not where I wanna be, Rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll High School, I just wanna have some kicks, I just wanna get some chicks, Rock, rock, rock, rock, Rock 'n' Roll High School...

• Miss Togar : [holding phone to radio broadcasting live Ramones concert]  That, Mrs. Rambeau, is where your daughter is.

• Miss Togar : [meeting the Ramones]  Oh, well, I'm happy to see that some students still are interested in their studies.

  Johnny Ramone : Hey, we're not students. We're the Ramones.

• Miss Togar : And just what do you have to say for yourself, young lady?

  Riff : I've seen the errors of my ways. I'd just like to say to all students everywhere that you may think the school is yours for a while, but it's always run by the principal and her administration.

  Miss Togar : [to the police and parents]  Oh, that's nice.

  Riff : Vince Lombardi High is your school, Miss Togar. So you can have it.

  [the Ramones burst into playing "Rock and Roll High School"] 

• Miss Evelyn Togar : If its discipline that you students need, I am the one who can provide it for you.

• Miss Evelyn Togar : You have managed to upset the entire school with this god forsaken noise.

  Riff Randell : Noise? That's the Ramones best album. Number one with a bullet.

• Miss Evelyn Togar : I've noticed a number of peculiar incidents among the members of this student body - all having to do with rock and roll music.

• Joey Ramone : Things sure have changed since we got kicked outta high school.

  Miss Evelyn Togar : Oh! Where are you going?

  Joey Ramone : Mr. McGree's class.

  Miss Evelyn Togar : Oh, well I'm happy to hear some students are interested in their studies.

  Johnny Ramone : Hey, we're not students. We're the Ramones.

  Miss Evelyn Togar : Ramones? You're responsible for making that horrible Rock 'n' Roll music? You turned the whole school against me.

• Miss Evelyn Togar : I know we've had our differences in the past. But, I think its time we tried to understand one another. I think the problem is clear. I am a reasonable, well-educated, mature adult member of society and you are a spoiled, heathen, punk.

• Miss Togar : [Handed a note by Fritz Hansel as she is being installed by the school board]  Darling Evelyn, how I long for the feel of your luscious thighs.
