• Charlie Eppes : Let me ask you something. Did you actually think that I was jealous of Ron Allen?

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : [chuckles]  Well, I mean... yeah, maybe a scootch.

  Charlie Eppes : I'll be honest with you. You weren't exactly wrong. But not jealous of Ron, not specifically.

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : But...?

  Charlie Eppes : Well, you know, when I was a 13-year-old freshman, it wasn't much fun but it was cool. Everything I did was that much more impressive because of how young I was.

  [sighs] 

  Charlie Eppes : Now I'm 30 years old.

  Dr. Larry Fleinhardt : Listen, listen. Paul Erdich published more than 1500 papers. He died, literally, at the chalkboard at age 83. C'mon, you haven't seen your best years yet, Charles.

  Charlie Eppes : No. But uh... they'll never come ahead of schedule again.
