John Christopher Jones: Dr. Sullivan

Quotes 

• Dr. Sayer : [in job interview]  It was an immense project. I was to extract 1 decagram of myelin from 4 tons of earth worms.

  Dr. Sullivan : Really!

  Dr. Sayer : Yes. I was on the project for 5 years. I was the only one who believed in it. Everyone else said it couldn't be done.

  Dr. Kaufman : It can't.

  Dr. Sayer : I know that now. I proved it.
