Comptroller Topinka: There’s a lotta things about me you don’t know anything about, Rodney. Things you wouldn’t understand. Things you couldn’t understand. Things you shouldn’t understand.
Rodney: I don’t understand.
Comptroller Topinka: You don’t wanna get mixed up with a Moderate like me. I’m a loner, Rodney. A rebel. So long, Rodney.
Comptroller Topinka: Now, you’ve got to listen to me! You have any idea what you’d have to look forward to if you stay here at the State Fair? Nine chances out of ten, we’d both wind up on a stage giving a speech…Rodney, I’m saying it because it’s true. Inside of us, we both know you belong working in DC. You’re part of making America get back to work, it’s the thing that keeps you going. If that plane leaves the ground for DC and you’re not on it, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Rodney: But what about the Fair?
Rick: We’ll always have the Paris, IL rally! We didn’t have, we, we lost it until our schedulers fix the dates. We got it back.

No, we can’t dance.
I know what happens to people who dance with you.
They end up as the punch lines in ads for weird little guys with unnaturally colored hair.
I’m not going to end up in one of those ads.
