2 quotesStrategic Choices in Political Family Dynamics
Robert F. Kennedy
You're out of your damn mind, Jack! You couldn't have made a worst choice if you tried.
John F. Kennedy
I spoke with Dad and he agreed.
Robert F. Kennedy
You spoke with Dad?
John F. Kennedy
If we wanna win, we need Johnson.
Robert F. Kennedy
Why didn't you consult with me?
John F. Kennedy
We also agreed we'd never convince you it was a good idea.
Robert F. Kennedy
Maybe because it isn't. I mean, Johnson and his men have just spent the last 72 hours trying to convince the entire delegation you have Addison's disease.
John F. Kennedy
I do have Addison's disease.
Robert F. Kennedy
That's not the fucking point!
John F. Kennedy
Kenny, we will win the liberal vote anyway. We need Southerners, we need Texas.
Robert F. Kennedy
The only person Lyndon Johnson will ever be loyal to is Lyndon and Johnson.
John F. Kennedy
Bobby, I'd rather him serve under me as Vice President than fight me for control of the government as leader of the Senate.
Robert F. Kennedy
We can't be the only ones who think this is a bad idea.
John F. Kennedy
As it turns out, you might not be because he hasn't accepted it yet.

The Importance of First Impressions in Romance
Hitch
So, tell me about her.
Vance
Have you ever met someone, and you knew right away she was gonna be important to you? Not just because of her looks, but that X factor?
Hitch
How'd you meet her?
Vance
Actually, I was in a shop buying pajamas for my mom-
Hitch
And by that, of course, you mean you were buying lingerie for another woman.
Vance
Yes. You can't help where you meet somebody. And the lingerie is for a woman I'm no longer seeing... But anyway, the girl I met, the one I was talking about... She's so sweet, funny, Southern. She gives me her number... Now she won't return my phone calls. I don't know what it is about her. I just can't get her out of my mind. You know? Food has lost its taste. Colors, they seem dull. Things that used to matter... I don't know, they just no longer do. I think things aren't gonna snap back unless I... Unless I bang her.
Hitch
...Excuse me?
Vance
You know, bang her. Clear my head. Get in, get off, get out.
Hitch
...I think you may have misunderstood what I do, exactly.
Vance
No, I was told that you help guys get in there!
[taken back]
Hitch
Right, but see, here's the thing - my clients actually like women. "Hit it and quit it" is not my thing.
Vance
Let me make one thing clear to you, rabbi, I need professional help.
Hitch
Well, that is for damn certain. And I'm glad you can admit it because generally, that's the hardest part.
Vance
You see what I'm doing? This is what I'm about - power suit, power tie, power steering. People can wince, cry, beg, but eventually they do what I want.
[grabs Hitch by the wrist]
Hitch
Oh! So that's, like, a metaphor?
[not intimidated]
Vance
Oh, yeah.
Hitch
Right. Well, see, I'm more of a literal kind of guy. So when I do this... This is more like me saying that I will literally break your shit off if you ever touch me again. Mmkay, pumpkin?
[he reverses the grip, twists Vance's arm back and slams him on the table]
