Quote from Dick in Angry Dick

Frank: She says you're some big deal professor at the college.
Dick: Hardly. It's quantum astrophysics. A drugged monkey could do it. What about you?
Frank: I work the line at the ball bearing plant.
Dick: No, the Cincor plant?
Frank: Yeah.
Dick: Are you kidding? I love your bearings. What do you make? Thrust bearings or linear?
Frank: Actually, I do journal bearings.
Dick: Wow! Is that plain or rolling contact?
Frank: On a good day, both.
Dick: Man, the stories you must have.
Frank: A few, a few. You know, I thought you'd be more of an egghead.
Dick: No, all meat.

Quote from Harry

Dick: Pseudofamily.
Tommy: Where have you been?
Dick: I have been in Frank Muller's garage. We bragged, we laughed, we tinkered. He let me touch his stuff. It feels good to be around Frank. It fills an empty space I've been feeling right here. I think it's because we're friends.
Harry: [sings] So no one told you it was gonna be this way. [all clap]

Quote from Dick

Dick: It seems that some of the subtler principles of electron motion were beyond everyone's grasp. [all groan] Be thankful it's just a grade. In most places, this kind of performance gets you a spanking that still burns when you're blown out the airlock.
Leon: Dr. Solomon, are you at least going to grade us on a curve?
Dick: Of course not. I grade on a transient loop.
Leon: What?
Dick: It's very simple. Your expected score is located here, the parameters of your actual performance are here, here and here, driving the expectation versus performance data into the last three loops, two of which can't be seen because, of course, they're factored only in time.
Caryn: So is my "A" still an "A"?
Dick: Oh, Caryn. No.

Quote from Harry

Harry: Who is that smoldering beauty with the fiery eyes?
Mrs. Dubcek: Katie Couric.
Harry: Katie Couric. It sounds like something beautiful stuck in your throat.
