Quote from Dick in Dick on a Roll

Sally: Why aren't you at the big ramp dedication? Everybody's waiting for you.
Dick: Oh, Sally, I was so wrong about this ramp. And now I need you to help me come up with a reason why it wasn't my fault.
Sally: Well, have you thought about taking responsibility, or is that just out?
Dick: Oh. Every day of my life, I'm right and people think I'm wrong. And now when I'm wrong, there's no one around to call me an idiot. Where are all my critics?
Sally: Well, Tommy's at school, Harry's with Vicki, but, for what it's worth, I think you're an idiot.
Dick: Thank you, Sally. Don't tell the others, but you're my favorite.

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

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.
