Dick: This is a disaster. What am I gonna do? I can feel the Andrew K. And Eileen B. Fleischman foundation grant slipping away!
Nina: I told you to send out that chain letter.
Dick: Nina, some of my students have lucky charms. Do those work?
Nina: Ooh, it couldn't hurt. Try to remember an item you had when something really great happened to you.
Dick: Like the day I met Mary?
Nina: Oh, yes, what did you have in your pocket the day you met her?
Dick: Lint. Lint! My lucky lint!
Nina: Your lucky lint?
Dick: Oh, damn! I let Harry play with it, and he lost it.
