Dick Quote #684
Quote from Dick in Tom, Dick and Mary
Mary: [answers phone] Hello. Oh, hi, Tom! I had a wonderful time, too! No, I will not let you buy me lunch. I'll buy you lunch. I insist! Okay. Good-bye, Tom. [hangs up] Nina, I'll be back in about an hour.
Nina: Have a nice lunch.
Dick: Nina, I need to send something over to Tom, and I seem to have lost Tom's address. Who is he again?
Nina: I don't know, and it's none of my business.
Dick: Well, it's none of my business, and I'm obsessed with it.
Nina: I thought the two of you were over. Why do all men think once they plant the flag, they own the mountain?
Dick: I spent two years climbing that mountain, and I'm not about to let another man yodel on it!

‘Tom, Dick and Mary’ Quotes
Quote from Sally
Dick: Well, what about dinner?
Sally: It's so much harder than I thought. I actually have to learn how to respect my coworkers if I'm going to keep this job.
Tommy: "No offense but you're offending me." What's this?
Sally: Oh, it's a pamphlet about understanding and tolerance and all that crap. Anyway, I read it, and as hard as this is to believe, sometimes I think I make people feel uncomfortable.
Tommy: Oh, get out.
Quote from Tommy
Tommy: You know what the Aztecs' problem was? They were at the wrong apex of the technological world arc.
Mary: I've never heard of that.
Tommy: Oh, it's my own theory. You see, technology begins in China in 5,000 B.C., with, um, literature and architecture and pasta and alcoholic beverages and fireworks.
Mary: Oh. Would you like an Oreo?
Tommy: Oh, thank you.
Mary: Oh, please continue. This is fascinating.
Tommy: So over the centuries the techno-arc moves through the Middle East, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Florence, Europe, the Americas, until it gets back to the Pacific Rim, but it always travels west.
Mary: So you're saying, the earth's rotation affects civilization.
Tommy: Exactly! And every dominant society is in sync with the arc.
Mary: And the Aztecs are-
Tommy: They're off the arc by 2,000 years, and that is why their advancements are never recognized.
Quote from Sally
Sally: Hey, guys! Good news!
Dick: What is it, Lieutenant?
Sally: I got a job. A real job. Look.
Dick: "Sally Solomon, Stern and Bower, Inc."
Sally: It's my I.D. I have a parking pass, medical, dental, pension, profit sharing. I'm thinking of retiring in Mexico.
Tommy: Well, your dollar goes further there.
