Duke: Hey! Who are all those damn kids on my beach? Zonker: I think they're students, Uncle Duke. Duke: Good lord. It's September already? Honey: First, let me welcome all of you in the class of '89 to the Baby Doc college of physicians. It's a pleasure to see so many freshly scrubbed faces. I'm Dean Honey, and I'll be co-ordinating orientation week. I'd like to start our first session by having each of you speak about why you're here in medical school. Let's go clockwise. Starting over there, state your name first, please. Person: My name is Harry Baskell. I enrolled because I want to see Halley's comet. The best viewings are in the South and I couldn't get my parents to spring for a trip. Honey: That's...that's...an amazing admission, Mr. Paskell. Person: Thank you. Honey: How many others became med students to see Halley's comet? Woman: Yo! Boy: Me. Person 2: Absolutely.
