![“A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. If they [said], "And the, um, a microwave, uh," you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.” quote by Morgan Freeman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/52a/morgan-freeman-1202_fine_a-scientist-sounds-like-a-scientist-beca_889672.jpg)
