Pitman: Dr. Solomon, it's a little hard to concentrate with all the shouting outside.
Dick: That shouting, young pitman, is the sound of a grass-roots movement taking hold, and I am the sweet manure that makes it flourish.
Caryn: Dr. Solomon, it sounds like the other professors kinda...
Leon: They hate you.
Dick: Don't be silly, Caryn. They wouldn't even be out there if it weren't for me. Listen, they're chanting my name. I guess that makes me a kind of a working-class hero. Who agrees? [Bug raises his hand] Thank you, Bug.
Bug: Actually, I was wondering if we're going the full hour. All the other classes are cancelled, and I'd like to, uh, you know, do nothing.
Dick: Bug, if the students choose to show their solidarity with our cause by staging a walkout, I, for one, would never stand in their way. [all leave]
