After I transcribed my shorthand, I replayed that part of the movie and double checked that I had it correct, word-for-word. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wizard: "Why anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from we have universities; seats of great learning where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But!

Wiz: (mumbles) "Doctor of Thinkology." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: I have no idea how to spell 'universitatus committiatum'; so I guessed.
