Quotes3

  • Dobie Gillis: Gee, I don't know, sir. I think the way the people use a language is the right way and if the rules says no, then the rule ought to be changed.
  • Professor Amos Pomfritt: In the 25 years that I have devoted to this underpaid profession of teaching, I have heard many an asinine outburst but never one so asinine as yours. I can only assume that your recent passage through puberty has affected your mind, for you, sir, are a presumptuous driveler, a cretinous barbarian, a thick-tongued oaf, an ill-bred churl, and in the future, you will be good enough to keep your mindless opinions to yourself!
  • Professor Amos Pomfritt: If you two would be kind enough to take your grubby little hands off of each other, I should like to commence my lecture.
  • George Hammer: He's a maniac! He's a public menace.
  • Professor Amos Pomfritt: Oh, now, George, he's not as bad as all that.
  • George Hammer: What?
  • Professor Amos Pomfritt: I think we should let Pansy go out with him.
  • George Hammer: You trust your daughter with that - that Jack the Ripper?
