Dick Quote #713
Quote from Dick in Dick on a Roll
Billnitzer: Well, Dr. Solomon, these plans are fine. The ramp is structurally sound.
Dick: Rubber stamp. Smart move.
Billnitzer: Like I said, personally, I don't see why you need it. There is the ramp on the south side.
Dick: South ramp. South ramp. The hollow refrain of the ruling class. No, no.
[Susan Billnitzer rolls out from behind her desk in a wheelchair and pulls up alongside Dick]
Dick: You can't possibly understand how important this ramp is to the quality of life for the university. Until you've seen the world from the vantage point of a wheelchair... much as you yourself are now doing.
Billnitzer: You know, your request kind of surprised me, considering the south ramp is right there next to the handicapped parking. Why would you want to go all the way around in front?
Dick: Well, because it's further. And, uh... I, for one feel that I've made my point.

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.
