The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T1953
Dr. Terwilliker:
[after hearing Bart practice] That's not bad. But not good! You're still not loud enough, still not fast enough! Rhythm still off, still misses the beats!
Bart Collins:
What?
Dr. Terwilliker:
Well, it takes time. It takes years! [smiles] Sometimes it actually does take forever.
Bart Collins:
What?
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:
What others?
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! Tomorrow, the Terwilliker Institute - my Happy Finger Institute! Tomorrow we will celebrate the official grand opening! Tomorrow, down below me, I will have five hundred little boys - five thousand little fingers! And they'll be mine, all mine! Practicing 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
Bart Collins:
I- I don't believe it! This is crazy!
Dr. Terwilliker:
And who are you to tell me what is crazy? Away! Go back your cell! And put on your official Terwilliker beanie!
