Dick Quote #345
Quote from Dick in World's Greatest Dick
Candace: Well, I have some news. Maybe you'd better sit down. [Dick sighs] Tommy scored higher on the national merit quiz than anyone in Ohio's history.
Dick: It's not my fault!
Candace: Oh, that's a good thing. No, that's a good thing. You should be proud. You've raised a very bright boy.
Dick: I'm sorry. Could you repeat that?
Candace: You've raised a very bright boy?
Dick: No one's ever said that to me before. Say it again.
Candace: Well, actually, I wanted-
Dick: No, just say it! I love that - the bright boy part. Say it!
Candace: Bright boy. In fact, he's done so well, I think he should transfer to the Pickney Country Day School for the gifted.
Dick: Because I raised a gifted son?
Candace: Yes! Look at what you've already given him. The stimulation, the nurturing, and not to mention the genes he inherited.
Dick: You're right. I do give a lot as a father.

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
