Dick Quote #104
Quote from Dick in Body & Soul & Dick
Dick: How can we honor the memory of a man like Leonard Hanlin? Well... he was governed by the laws of physics, as are all living things. It is a scientific fact that hearts and clocks slow down as they approach the speed of light, the point at which matter is converted into energy. Dr. Hanlin's heart approached that speed on Friday evening, at 7:57 according to the coroner, converting his matter into energy, into pure white light. Though he is no longer with us, he is all around us. [goes to sit down]
Father: Thank you.
Mary: That was absolutely beautiful.
Tommy: Matter to energy?
Sally: Could you have been more trite?
Harry: Why didn't you just phone it in?

Quote from Harry
Dick: Why does death have to be so inconvenient?
Harry: [holding an apple] Mmm, to die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dream. Oh! [turns apple around to reveal three bite marks that look like the holes of a skull] There's the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
Dick: What's that from?
Harry: I don't know, some Mel Gibson movie.
Quote from Dick
Mary: I can't believe this. I've never seen anybody die before.
Dick: I know, it's amazing. One minute, he's active, and the next, he's inert. First he's limber, and then he's stiff. His eyes are twinkly, then they're milky. He's rosy, then sallow. Oily, then dry. Gurgly, then silent.
Mary: Oh, will you stop!
Quote from Dick
Dick: If we measure X in grams and Y in centimeters per second, then Z is measured in a unit of energy we call ergs. The complete conversion of one gram of mass into energy thus releases one times three times 10 to the 10th power squared, which brings me to another point-- Your lives are fragile, and you're all going to die!
