Iris Quinn: Dean Warren
Quotes
-
Dean Warren : We've had another complaint about your class, Ben.
Ben Lockwood : Uh-oh. Millennials.
Dean Warren : Still. It sounds like your lectures are extreme.
Ben Lockwood : My own history is extreme. Truth is extreme. The classroom isn't a safe space where everyone gets to hear a fairy tale version of the facts, and if students can't handle perspectives that are different than their own, I don't know. Maybe they don't belong here.
Dean Warren : The tenure board would disagree.
Ben Lockwood : Uh... wh-what are you saying?
Dean Warren : You've been warned multiple times about the rhetoric in your class. Now we think you should take a leave of absence without pay.
Ben Lockwood : You know what my family's going through. I can't lose this job.
Dean Warren : You're passing on your own prejudice to our students, Ben. We're a university, a diverse one. Look, I'm sorry. I've always liked you. But you brought this on yourself.
-
Dean Warren : How are you?
Ben Lockwood : Oh, I'm good. I-I'm... I'm very good. Um... how are you?
Dean Warren : Wish I could say the same. Classes are overcrowded, budget's being cut. Minnie and I lost the house, too.
Ben Lockwood : Oh, no. No.
Dean Warren : That genesis event.
Ben Lockwood : Terraforming.
Dean Warren : Right. We're in student housing now.
Ben Lockwood : Oh, I'm sure Minnie loves that.

Dean Warren : Look, Ben, I'm sorry for what happened with you and the university.
Ben Lockwood : Oh! No...
Dean Warren : It was wrong throwing you out on the street like that. I don't think any of us understood what you were going through, but now...
Ben Lockwood : Now a lot of people are going through the same thing. Well, what's happening is happening to us, and that gives us power. That means that we can fight back. As a matter of fact, me and some friends, we are, uh, putting together something like a support group, and I would like very much for you to join us.
