Sidney Bracey: Jenkins

Quotes 

• Jenkins : Professor, if you'd only go out and find life, you'll enjoy living it.

  Professor Post : Oh, but, Jenkins, how often have I told you, that requires money. And I have saved, in 12 years, exactly $4,564.23. I'm saving that for a rainy day.

  Jenkins : Yes sir. Poor Professor Pervison said that and it rained the day they buried him.

• Jenkins : Everybody's happy and excited over the drag. Will you be going, sir?

  Professor Post : Oh, no, no. I'd rather sit here and read Aristotle.

  [He turns the book right side up and then continues] 

  Professor Post : You know I'm lying, don't you?

  Jenkins : Yes, sir.

• Professor Post : I didn't sleep very well myself. I have twitches

  Jenkins : Yes, that's what Prof. Ferguson told me in this very room, the night he shot himself.

  Professor Post : Shot himself?

  Jenkins : [Pointing to where Post is sitting]  Yes. In that very chair.
