Tommy Quote #342
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.
