Dialogue

|
"Mr. Nixon, sir? As a career politician with a deep commitment to serving the needs of myself, I am honored to meet you."
|
|
"The pleasure is all Nixon's, Nixon's main man."
|
|
"I was wondering -- as a relative novice in the ways of political wrongdoing, might I pick your brain for a bit? With all humility, of course..."
|
|
"Nixon apologizes if this seems indiscreet, but, what is this “I” word you use to indicate you are discussing yourself?"
|
|
"Er ah... the first person singular. Indicating the speaker is referring to him- or herself."
|
|
"Dick Nixon is not familiar with this particular turn of phrase. Dick Nixon feels that it connotes weakness in the speaker."
|
|
"But isn't it -- forgive me, oh Vile Sachem -- kind of mandatory? An inescapable convention of -- by your pardon, oh Satanic Sage -- the English language?"
|
|
"Well, Dick Nixon doesn't claim that Richard M. Nixon has a scholar's grasp of grammatical rules."
|
|
"But it seems to Richard Milhouse Nixon that--"
|
|
"Hey! My name is Milhouse!"
|
|
"Go away, blue child."
|
|
"--anyway, it seems to Nixon that a great leader should always separate himself from the rules of grammar, or, it seems, all reasonable behavior."
|
|
"I will learn... er, that is, Quimby will learn this moronic lesson well."
