Quote from Tommy in Why Dickie Can't Teach
Dick: I'm through with teaching. It's the career fair for me. Tommy: Dick, you can't quit. You're a terrible teacher. That's your greatest strength. Dick: What? I'm so confused I feel like I'm taking one of my own classes. Tommy: Your real job is to be High Commander. And the mission says you're forbidden to change the world. Dick: So? Tommy: So, are any of your students smarter than they were four years ago? Dick: Well, no. Tommy: That's right. Dick: So what you're saying is, by day, I'm Dick Solomon: mild-mannered, incompetent physics professor. But by night, I'm Dick Solomon: brilliant, charismatic, steel-abed High Commander. Tommy: Yeah, something like that.
