Hans Conried: Professor Amos Pomfritt

Quotes 

• Dobie Gillis : Gee, I don't know, sir. I think the way the people use a language is the right way and if the rules says no, then the rule ought to be changed.

  Professor Amos Pomfritt : In the 25 years that I have devoted to this underpaid profession of teaching, I have heard many an asinine outburst but never one so asinine as yours. I can only assume that your recent passage through puberty has affected your mind, for you, sir, are a presumptuous driveler, a cretinous barbarian, a thick-tongued oaf, an ill-bred churl, and in the future, you will be good enough to keep your mindless opinions to yourself!

• Professor Amos Pomfritt : If you two would be kind enough to take your grubby little hands off of each other, I should like to commence my lecture.

• George Hammer : He's a maniac! He's a public menace.

  Professor Amos Pomfritt : Oh, now, George, he's not as bad as all that.

  George Hammer : What?

  Professor Amos Pomfritt : I think we should let Pansy go out with him.

  George Hammer : You trust your daughter with that - that Jack the Ripper?
