Mary Quote #23
Quote from Mary in Truth or Dick
Mary: I thought, foolishly, this would be a good opportunity for my colleagues to get to know you. No one wanted to meet you. I made that up.
Dick: So you lied?
Mary: I was bending the truth to flatter you. There's a difference.
Dick: Oh, I see. So when we met, you said you were pleased to meet me. Was that a lie or truth-bending?
Mary: Figure of speech.
Dick: And when you said you were impressed with my resume?
Mary: Light conversation.
Dick: When I moved in, you said you didn't mind sharing your office?
Mary: Diplomacy. Anything else?
Dick: Yes, is that really the color of your hair?
Mary: Absolutely!

‘Truth or Dick’ Quotes
Quote from Dick
Dick: Do you notice how this James Brown is always getting somewhere? He's getting up, getting down, getting back.
Sally: You know, we should contact him. I mean, as part of our mission to study life on this planet.
Dick: Yes, but according to this, he's more of a machine. A sex machine.
Quote from Dick
Dick: On the subject of universal truth, Albert Einstein once said... [speaks German] Any thoughts on that? Anyone? Yes, Caryn.
Caryn: Dr. Solomon, I think you were speaking German.
Dick: Yes, German. Einstein spoke German. [sighs] Okay, I'll simplify. "Scientific proof is nothing more than conditional truth." We all understand what truth is, don't we? Now, I have three of Einstein's equations on the board. Two of them are false, and one is true. Who can spot the true one? Anyone? How many of you think it's number one? [all hands go up] I'll give you a hunt, it's not number one. Here's another hint, it's not number two. How many of you think it's number three? [all hands go up] Well, you're wrong. I lied. I made them all up! You see, lying accomplishes nothing. You can't trust someone who lies. Oh, you work with them. You think you know them. They ask you to substitute. You make a fool of yourself. They get mad. And your sister can't even get a driver's license.
Pitman: Dr. Solomon, is this going to be on the final?
Dick: The point I'm making is, you have to tell the absolute truth, or else you just end up confusing people.
Caryn: But, Dr. Solomon, sometimes you just can't tell the truth.
Dick: But why not?
Quote from Harry
Sally: You know, cars must have some huge power we haven't discovered yet. Look at this. The lines, the waiting, the testing.
Harry: Yeah. Can you imagine what you must have to go through to get a gun?
