OK, I'm very sorry, my sexual problem...
Ok, my sexual problem, huh?
I've never read that. That was a Henry James novel right?
A sequel to "Turn of the screw"?
You know what it is? It's the influence of television!
Now Marshal McLuhan deals with it
in terms of it being a high intensity of,
you understand, hot medium...
What I would give for a large sack of horse manure!
What do you do when you are stuck
in a movie line with a guy like this behind you?
Wait a minute! Why can't I give my opinion? It's a free country...
He can give it. But do you have to give it so loud?
Aren't you ashamed to pontificate like that?
And the funny part of it is, Marshall McLuhan,
you don't know anything about Marshall McLuhan...
Now wait a minute, really?
I happen to teach a class at Columbia called "TV, media and culture".
So I think that my insight into Mr. McLuhan
has a great deal of validity.
Oh, do you? Well, that's funny, because I happen to have Mr. McLuhan right here.
So, so let me, just let me...
Come over here

I heard what you were saying.
You know nothing of my work!
You mean my whole fantasy is wrong.
How you ever got to teaching courses in anything is totally amazing...
Well, if life were only like this!
