Tommy Quote #80

Quote from Tommy in World's Greatest Dick

Tommy: Oh, uh, Dick, I got to get new sneakers. My toes are bursting out of these things.
Dick: I just bought you those three months ago. You know you're a freak, don't you?
Tommy: Leave me alone. I'm growing.
Dick: If it were just the growing, but for every inch you sprout, you become that much more insolent and do that much worse in school.
Tommy: So what?
Dick: You're going to become the world's tallest idiot.
Tommy: Why are you on my case?
Dick: I just can't stomach another of those interminable parent-teacher conferences.
Tommy: Look, I did not ask to be the teenager, okay? You made me.

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.
