- Quotes
Dr. Dick Solomon: How can we honor the memory of a man like Leonard Hanlin? Well...
[long pause]
Dr. Dick Solomon: He was governed by the laws of physics, as are all living things. It is a scientific fact that hearts and clocks slow down as they approach the speed of light: the point at which matter is converted into energy. Dr. Hanlin's heart approached that speed on Friday evening, at 7:57, according to the coroner, converting his matter into energy... Into pure white light. Though he is no longer with us... he is all around us.

[Plays at the end of the episode.]
Compared to the last few episodes, this is a better and funnier episode. John Mahoney delivers the goods as the detested professor in his brief appearance. Watching Dick try to write a eulogy is some good comedy work. John Lithgow continues to amaze me as Dick. When the eulogy is spoken, that is what we need-a good ol' belly laugh. Also, the Big Giant Head is finally spoken about for the first time here. Many laughs = great episode.
Quote of the Episode:
Sally Solomon: When *are* we going to leave this planet? Dr. Dick Solomon: When we know everything there is to know about life. Harry Solomon: Whoa, good thing we have cable.
