Dick Quote #101
Quote from Dick in Body & Soul & Dick
Dick: Your time is short, and I barely know any of you. Close your books. I want to sit among you. I want to share your thoughts, learn your fears, expose your darkest secrets. Who's first? Bug, what about you?
Bug: Uh...
Dick: Why are you called Bug?
Bug: I got hit by a Volkswagen.
Dick: And Leon?
Leon: What?
Dick: Where are you from?
Leon: Here.
Dick: You see? This is fascinating. Uh, who's next? Pitman.
Pitman: Uh, what about you, Dr. Solomon? Where are you from?
Dick: [stands up] Okay. I'm sure that you've all heard of the radio telescope. Well... funny story. True story. I'm not human. [bell rings] Well, that's all the time we have. Oh, and by the way, I assume that some of you have taken a class from Dr. Hanlin. Does anyone have any stories about him? [all hands go up] Oh, good. I need something nice. [all hands go down]
Caryn: Oh, sorry.

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!
