Quote from Dick in Proud Dick
Dick: I don't understand. The university should have offered it to me first. I'm the star of the faculty. I'm the one whose brain everyone wants to dissect for science. Nina: Right, for science. Dick: I deserve it! Mary: I have tenure! Dick: Oh, tenure! I suppose if someone sticks around a third-rate university long enough, they'd have to recognize her lack of drive somehow. Mary: Dick, you're overreacting. Dick: I'm not overreacting. Overreacting would be going straight to the president of the university and telling him exactly how I feel. Mary: Where are you going? Dick: Straight to the president of the university and telling him exactly how I feel!
