Tony Blair/Og Oggilby: Oh... I knew this would happen! I was a perfect idiot to ever listen to you!
George Bush/Egbert Sousé: You listen to me, Og! There's nothing in this world that is perfect.

On Private Social Security Accounts
George Bush/Egbert Sousé: Ten cents a share. Telephone sold for five cents a share. How would you like something better for ten cents a share? If five gets ya ten, ten'll get ya twenty. A beautiful home in the country, upstairs and down. Beer flowing through the estate over your grandmother's paisley shawl.
Prescreened Republican/Og Oggilby: Beer?
George/Egbert: Beer! Fishing in the stream that runs under the aboreal dell. A man comes up from the bar, dumps $3,500 in your lap for every nickel invested. Says to you, "Sign here on the dotted line." And then disappears in the waving fields of alfalfa.
Prescreened Republican: Gosh! Do you think he was telling the truth?
George/Egbert: You don't think a man would resort to terra-diddle, do you?

On the Future of Iraq
The getaway car careens through streets, over ditches (over the heads of ditchdiggers), around curves and up a mountainside, missing collisions at every turn with the pursuit vehicles. An unruffled George/Egbert gives nonchalant comments about the traffic and scenery. As the car starts to fall apart, he jokes:
The resale value of this car is going to be nil after you get over this trip.□
