"I know you're gonna say it's crazy" "Actually I gonna ask you if you have mustard" "C'mon." "C'mon Rog, really" " What do you think?" " It's just crazy." "It's crazy?" "But who cares?" "Hobbes was a lousy teacher" "We have to face the facts he was a lousy teacher" "He was dull... academic..." "Just plain lousy" "But he had a genius for one thing..." "That was getting grants" "He could raised money for crazy projects" "For example, who do you think is paying the rent of this place?" " Not you." " Nope."

" That's what I'm here for" "I don't think I can do it until 9'30 10 o'clock?" "That would be OK?" " That's perfect" " Not too late?" " No, that's fine" " Thank you so much, doctor" " Don't worry" "OK" "Ms. Ementhal is ready, doctor" "Tell Ms. Ementhal, I'll be right there with her, will you?" " You see how beautiful the grass is?"
