Tommy Quote #82
Quote from Tommy in World's Greatest Dick
Tommy: What is Dick's problem? I don't want to go to the Pickney school.
August: Of course you don't. Your father's a professor. By rejecting education, you're rejecting him. Rejection's the most powerful weapon there is.
Tommy: [scoffs] Well, maybe on Earth. I know this is going to be miserable. I already hate it there. You know, all those brainy girls are going to be ugly.
August: Are you saying that intelligent girls are, by definition, unattractive?
Tommy: Yeah, most of them are. Oh, w- Well, not all of them are. I mean- In fact, on the graph of smart girls and the graph of pretty ones, you're the sole intersection, the single point of perfection in an infinity of stupid and homely.
August: Wow. You are gifted.

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

Sally: Yeah. What's your point?
Mrs. Dubcek: Sally, marry this man.
