John Lithgow: Dr. Dick Solomon

Quotes 

• Dr. Dick Solomon : I'm sorry, there is simply no room in the budget for raises. But I can go you one better: promotions! Sally, you are now *Senior* Security Officer.

  Sally Solomon : That'll look good on the old résumé.

  Dr. Dick Solomon : Tommy, you are now *Senior* Information Officer.

  Tommy Solomon : It's about time.

  [everybody is quiet for a moment] 

  Harry Solomon : What about me?

  Dr. Dick Solomon : Harry, you are now... Harold.

  Harry Solomon : Champagne for everyone!

• Dr. Dick Solomon : Look at this: the Chancellor has even cut off the free long-distance. So much for my 'International Ideas Exchange'.

  Sally Solomon : It's just you dialing random numbers and talking to whoever answers.

  Dr. Dick Solomon : Yes. Just yesterday, I had a brief but fruitful conversation with a Dutch lady about it being the middle of the night over there.

• Dr. Dick Solomon : Mary, I wish you could have seen me in there with the Chancellor. You would have been so turned on by my heroism. I know I was.

• Dr. Dick Solomon : That "shouting", young Pittman, is the sound of grass roots movement being born... And I am the sweet manure that makes it take hold!

• Dr. Dick Solomon : I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place: I'm going to march into the chancellor's office and resign!

  Tommy Solomon : Yeah, and I'm going to walk right up to Alyssa and turn in my pretzel hat!

  Dr. Dick Solomon : But what's Mrs. Fretzel going to say?

  Tommy Solomon : Oh, Dick... sit down...

• Dr. Vincent Strudwick : Yeah, Solomon - if it weren't for your cowardice, we wouldn't be right back where we started from!

  Dr. Dick Solomon : Coming from you, Strudwick, I'll take that as a compliment.

  Dr. Vincent Strudwick : It was an INSULT!

  Dr. Dick Solomon : Too late - COMPLIMENT!
