Harry Quote #176
Quote from Harry in World's Greatest Dick
Harry: Well, as Harry Houdini once said, pick a card, any card.
Tommy: It's my mission to be a teenager, but right now I hate my father, I hate my school, and my life seems hopeless. Some teenager I am.
Harry: Cut the deck.
Tommy: If I'm going to do my job, I've got to be in a real school, one with metal detectors and pregnant cheerleaders.
Harry: Fold the edges of your card ever so slightly.
Tommy: I mean, why am I even putting myself through all this? So Dick can feel proud?
Harry: Pick another card, add the value, multiply it by four.
Tommy: So, I mean, this whole thing's crazy. I'm not Dick's son. I'm the information officer. I've got to bring this mission back on course.
Harry: Write the number on your arm so that I cannot see it.
Tommy: There's only one thing left to do...
Harry: Shuffle.
Tommy: Sabotage. [flicks the cards off the roof]
Harry: All right. We're okay as long as none of those are clubs. Pick a card. [Tommy throws the cards off the roof] Ta-Da!

‘World's Greatest Dick’ Quotes
Quote from Sally
Dick: What is it about the father-son relationship that makes communication so difficult? Is it the father using his son to make good on his unfulfilled dreams? Or is it the son defining himself by rejecting his father?
Sally: It's neither. It's both. It's men.
Dick: And how did you acquire this new expertise?
Tommy: Oh, yeah. What happened with Glenn?
Sally: Well, remember when we said that two sexes must be so limiting? I think Glenn found a loophole.
Quote from Dick
Dr. Menard: I have never seen such reprehensible behavior.
Dick: I know. I don't blame you if you have to expel Tommy.
Dr. Menard: Dr. Solomon, we still consider Tommy Pickney material. It is you who are banned from the Pickney.
Dick: I'm banned? Well, guess what. Tommy didn't even want to come to this robot factory outlet. I made him. Me, me, me! And now I'm putting him back in a real school where he can be himself, the kind of school where kids aren't judged on how well they test or how much they know, where they aren't judged at all, where they have the freedom to stay faceless and nameless from K through 12, carrying their diplomas straight through the Golden Arches and on into their waiting McJobs! Come on, Tommy. We're going home.
Quote from Mrs. Dubcek
Mrs. Dubcek: Sally. There's something I have to tell you about your boyfriend. He cooks, he loves the arts, he wears great shoes, and he's single.
Sally: Yeah. What's your point?
Mrs. Dubcek: Sally, marry this man.
