Quote from Mary in Why Dickie Can't Teach

Tommy: Hey, Dr. Albright, do you have a minute?
Mary: Oh, sure, Tommy. Here at Pendelton, our doors are always open to prospective students.
Tommy: Thanks. Uh, it's about Dick. I'm really worried. He's being incredibly selfish and bull-headed.
Mary: And...?
Tommy: Well, I- I need your help. We had this fight, and now he's forcing me to go to Pendelton.
Mary: Oh, no. [closes door] Oh, Tommy, I felt so dirty trying to get you to go to this two-bit clown college.
Tommy: And rightly so.
