Great Teacher Onizuka

“You know, when I was in high school, I was a troublemaker. I hardly went to school. Before I knew it, I was expelled. When I couldn't go anymore, was when I first realized, that school was a great thing. There's a lot of friends and lots of fun things. When I got this old, I wanted even more to go to school. That's why I became a teacher. Because, if I become a teacher, I could stay in school until I die, right? That's why I'm really happy now. I want you to be like that too. I want you to like school. Once it's over, it's too late.”

“We cannot go back to the past, no matter how hard we try. No matter how wonderful it was. The past is nothing but the past.”

“Give a kid a smoke and he'll be happy for a day. Teach him how to smoke... he'll be happy for his whole shortened life.”

“[Onizuka's p*nis is bit by a snake]Someone. Suck the poison out! ...Fuyutsuki-chan! I beg you! Suck it out quickly!”

“You think you can just escape? Walk out of this world like it's some bad movie? It's too easy to make like a bird. To flap your wings as you chicken out after causing all these problems. The tough part's walking. Taking what comes along and walking right through it. That's what real people do.”

“A brat who is afraid to be hurt isn't qualified to love someone.”

“Sometimes violence is the only way to get the message across.”

“It's my job to make school fun.”
