Wright Thompson Quotes:

  • Dr. James Paxton: Nature doesn't influence Man! Man influences Nature! One man, one strong man can change Nature!

    Wright Thompson: Oh, you're wrong, Dr. Paxton. It isn't one man, it's many men working together.

    Wright Thompson: In 10 million years I couldn'ta done worse!

  • Wright Thompson: You don't like my kind of guy, do you?

    Andy Ostergaard: Listen, buster. Each one of them has taught at more colleges than you flunked out of.
