Dr. Terwilliker:

Bart Collins:

Dr. Terwilliker:
Well, my little watch tells me that's all we can hope to do today. Tomorrow however, oh tomorrow, what a day! At 6 AM sharp, all the others will arrive!

Bart Collins:

Dr. Terwilliker:
Well, I say, you don't think I built this great piano just for you! Have you no concept that I am on the eve of my greatest triumph? Tomorrow, I will fulfill the dream of my lifetime!

Bart Collins:
I- I don't believe it! This is crazy!

Dr. Terwilliker:
And you are you to tell me what is crazy? Away! Go back your cell! And put on your official Terwilliker beanie!
