00:57 "The nice thing about adults is that we don't blow little things out of proportion." (Proportion is how important something is, and he says that the teachers don't argue with each other. The joke is that they do argue.)

3:34 "Great, but can you please keep your papers a little more tidy? You're ruining our feng shui." (Feng shui is the ancient Chinese belief of balance from the placement of objects.)

3:46 "It's a dust ruffle. Huh? I bought the fabric and Fern sewed it. We girls want to spruce up our desk area a bit. But it's so girly, and it blocks my solar panel." (Muffy bought the fabric, and Fern sewed it. Fern is the girl with the bow. The girls want the desks to look better, but it covers where his solar panels come out.)

7:21 "George, can you be a dear and sharpen this pencil for me?" ('Dear' is a word used to show affection or friendliness.)

8:08 "Hey! You promised me those stickers! If you waste them on Brain's desk, your dust ruffle is toast!" (If she puts the stickers on the desk, Francine will destroy the dust ruffle, because she wants the stickers. If something is 'toast', it means that it is doomed.)

8:53 "George, I now have Sue Ellen's United Nations report! Widdle down that pencil anymore, and it's history!" ('Widdle' means 'to cut', and he is mad that George is making it so short. If something is 'history', it means that it will be destroyed and people will only be able to remember that it was there.)

9:44 "What in Aunt Betsy is going on here?!" ('What in_____' is an exclamation of surprise and anger. He is actually the principal.)

11:11 "My rubber-band ball! Hey! Come back here! Close the gate so it doesn't bounce out! It's headed for the topiary! Come back, ball! Let's help and corner it!" (The ball of rubber bands that Sue Ellen tossed out the window somehow bounced to Muffy's pool. Binky still wants it back, and the other kids are helping him catch it. A 'topiary' is a group of bushes that are cut into shapes, such as animals or heads. To 'corner' something is to surround it so that you can capture it no matter which way it goes.)
