Principal Gold

Sexual tension, male-female dynamics...all part of the high school experience.

Principal Gold
[Seeing Olivia and 'Sebastian' meeting outside his office]

What is...? Oh... Getting to know the opposite sex are we? Male female dynamics, all that. Sexual tension... it's all part of the high school experience... Continue, continue, please. But keep it cleaned up. Abstinence is key, abstinence is the best way to not... is to not. Uh- [Pretending to respond to someone in his office] Hm? [Goes back inside his office]

Principal Gold
[Handing 'Sebastian' his food at lunch]

Have a great apple and sandwich! [The next student steps up and begins to ask for something] No.

Principal Gold

I think I played soccer once, or was it chess?

I am convinced he's hiding something.

Principal Gold

Oh, nonsense, Malcolm. He may be a little lost and confused, but deep down he's an all-American, red-blooded male, just like yourself.

[Walking by, dressed as Sebastian, while on the phone]

Mom, I will pick out my own dress. And no, I will not wear high heels. Because heels are a male invention designed to make women's butts look smaller. And to make it harder for them to run away.

Principal Gold
[Silence; Malcom looks pointedly at Principal Gold]

Malcolm, have you ever tried to run away in high heels?

No, sir, I...

Principal Gold

Not that easy. Not that easy...

Principal Gold
[Malcolm and Monique have convinced Principal Gold to break up the soccer game and reveal that Viola is impersonating her brother; the real Sebastian is there, and has proved he is male by exposing his genitals. This proves extremely embarrassing for Principal Gold.] [Shouting through his megaphone directly into Malcom's ear]

MALCOLM! CAN YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE CURRENT SITUATION?

[Also embarrassed]

No more than has already been shed, sir.

Principal Gold

Okay, if you want to roughhouse, please take it at least 500 yards...

[Shouting, as he walks quickly over to where the Illyria and Cornwall players are fighting]

Break it up. Break it up! [Grabs a Cornwall player and an Illyria player] Okay, tough guys. You want to box, then get out of my stadium. Or otherwise, get on with the game. All right?

Principal Gold
[Through his megaphone]

Come on now, Armadillos of Illyria...

That goes for the rest of ya. Now get on and play some real football! Like a bunch of girls!

Principal Gold
[Through his megaphone, trying unsuccessfully to mimic Dinklage's charismatic voice]

Yeah! Let's play some real football like a bunch of girls!
