Harry Quote #366

Quote from Harry in The Physics of Being Dick

Dick: What is wrong with this world? You dole out moonshine to a roomful of boozehounds and everybody loves you, while I shape young minds with the elegant laws of physics, and what do I get? Nothing.
Harry: Here's the deal, Dick. Around here, a guy can't even give peach schnapps away. But you put it in a pineapple glass, add a little umbrella, call it a shooter, I can't make 'em fast enough.
Dick: Harry, that's brilliant. You're saying I gotta give physics a little razzle-dazzle, right?
Harry: Okay.
Dick: Of course. This is the nineties. Kids want what's cool. They want the latest, the here and now. They want the Fonz!
Harry: Ayyy! What are you gonna do?
Dick: I'm going to career day!
Harry: All right! You do that! What an idiot.

Quote from Dick

Dick: Morning, class, I'm sorry I'm so late. A funny thing happened today. I learned that there is a, uh... A small group of people that doesn't find physics absolutely exhilarating. Isn't that hilarious? [silence] [students let out a slight chuckle] Exactly. So I was wondering, what drove you to take it?
Bug: Well, uh, it's required.
Pitman: And we want to graduate.
Dick: So that's all that brings you back to my class, a requirement? Not one of you yearns for a career in physics? [Leon raises his hand] Not one soul longs to make physics his lifework? [Leon waves his hand] Not one among you aspires to place physics--
Leon: Dr. Solomon.
Dick: Leon, please, tell me you have to pee.
