Miss Mullins Quotes in School of Rock (2003)

Spider: You're hot, you're so hot...

Miss Mullins: What? Are you warm?

Freddy: I'm just saying, name two great chick drummers.

Katie: Sheila E.? Meg White from the White Stripes?

Freddy: [Freddy winces] She can't drum!

Katie: She's a better drummer than you! At least she has rhythm.

[Miss Mullins passes and realizes that Freddy has rolled up his sleeves and spiked his hair]

Miss Mullins: Freddy! Where are your sleeves? And what have you done to your hair?

Freddy: It's called punk.

Miss Mullins: Well, it's not school uniform.

[She pulls his left sleeve down, and he turns away with a rebellious expression. Frankie, Michelle, and Eleni have observed this]

Frankie: Miss Mullins, you're the Man.

Miss Mullins: Thank you, Frankie!

Miss Mullins: [about the teachers] They hate me.

Dewey Finn: No they don't.

Miss Mullins: Yes they do, I can see. I wasn't always like this, you know, I wasn't always wound this tight. There was a time where I was fun. I was funny! I was. But you can't be funny and be the principle of a prep school! No, you cannot. Because when it comes to their kids, these parents have no sense of humor. No. And if something goes wrong its my head in the smasher. And these parents will come down on me like a nucular bomb! I can't make a mistake! I gotta be perfect! And that pressure has turned me into something that I never wanted to be!

Miss Mullins: [silently mouthing the words] A bitch!

Dewey Finn: No you're not.

Miss Mullins: Yes I am. I am a big one!

Dewey Finn: [alerted that Miss Mullins is approaching, Dewey starts writing on the chalkboard] ... And therefore, E=MC2. Oh, Miss Mullins, come in.

Miss Mullins: I'm sorry to interupt but Miss Lemmons said she heard music coming from the classroom.

Dewey Finn: Music? Uh, music. I haven't heard any music. Uh oh, you know what, Miss Lemmons must be on crack, right, kids?

Miss Mullins: Uh, well, what's that?

[Points at guitar]

Dewey Finn: Uh, how long is the job?

Miss Mullins: My guess is, as much as a few weeks, but we do need somebody to start immediately.

Dewey Finn: Mm-hm. So how much are we talking here?

Miss Mullins: We pay our substitutes $650 a week. Now, do you know when Mr. Schneebly will be back?

Dewey Finn: Hold on a sec. Oh, you know what? I think he's just coming in right now. NED! PHONE!

[Dewey plays with the phone cord for a few seconds, as though he is handing it over]

Dewey Finn: [impersonating Ned] Hello, this is Ned Schneebly.

[backstage]

Female Security Guard: Sorry. To get in, you've got to be in a band or have a pass.

Miss Mullins: I am principal of the school's band.

Female Security Guard: Oh, right on.
