On the Record: Professor T

The main event:
Professor T: “We don’t want to make a trial the show you take on the road before you take it to broadway. THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT!”
Let me rephrase…
Professor T: “Tom, have we seen a case like this before?”
Tom: “Uh…”
Professor T: “Let me ask the question a different way. MARK! have we seen a case like this before?”

What would he do?
Professor T: “A reasonable person doesn’t jump out of a car!”
Student: “Uh..wait, yes they do!”
Professor T: “Does the reasonably prudent person walk all over frail old men?”
