Quote from Dick in Dick on a Roll

Chancellor: I would like to start the ceremony by asking Dr. Solomon to say a few words about his achievement here today.
Dick: No, no. Uh... now, there were a lot of people working together here. I- I don't deserve all the blame for this achievement. Right, Sally?
Sally: It's all you, big guy. [crowd cheers]
Chancellor: Go ahead, Dick. Break the ground.
Dick: No, no, no. Please. [applause] If you want to follow somebody, look to Susan Billnitzer. She uses the south entrance, and she's never been happier. So, everybody listen up because this is important. Stop listening to me.

Quote from Dick

Dick: Yesterday, December second, a day that will live in infamy, I pulled myself up these steps, one cement injustice after another. But today I pledge to you, my sisters and brothers, that until they build a north ramp on this side of Hoff Hall, I will not rest. Except for the occasional nap.

Quote from Mrs. Dubcek

Don: You were born in 1968?
Mrs. Dubcek: I don't want the boys to be intimidated by my experience.
Don: Whatever. You're in.

Quote from Dick

Mary: Dick, why are you doing this? You'll be better in three weeks. Why do you care so much about this ramp?
Dick: Well, I care because they care.
Mary: You're only doing this because you like it that people are listening to you. A second ramp is unnecessary and stupid.
Leon: Dr. Albright, you think helping disabled people is stupid? [crowd boos]
Mary: No. [crowd hisses] Oh, shut up. That's not what I meant!
Dick: You just can't stand that everyone here thinks I'm right and you're wrong.
Mary: Dick, what's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
Dick: Yes, but I'm both right and popular, and everybody hates you.
