Principal Potter Quotes in Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)

Miss Banks: That was Mrs. Tingle. She's sick with the flu. She sounded really bad.

Principal Potter: She hasn't been sick since - in fact, I don't think she's ever been sick.

Miss Banks: Do you think it's serious?

Principal Potter: God, I hope so.

[Both chuckle]

Principal Potter: I was thinking...

Mrs. Tingle: No, don't do that Mr. Potter, we still prefer that bristling wind effect you have on us.

Mrs. Tingle: Oh, by the way... happy birthday.

Principal Potter: It's not my birthday, Mrs Tingle.

Mrs. Tingle: No, not your natal birthday, the AA one. You've been sober, how long is it now?

Principal Potter: Four years.

Mrs. Tingle: There! I knew it was this week. Me and dates, you know, that's the curse of being a history teacher. Well congratulations, that's quite an accomplishment. Just think, not one sip of alcohol in over four years, that's almost... unbelievable

Principal Potter: Mrs. Tingle, I have waited twenty years to tell you this. You're fired.
