Scott Dantley : If the army had the guns, we just might be able to stop the killing.
Pete Helmes : It's a bitch of a problem, isn't it, Jack?
Jack Issel : Well, actually, I've been reading that it's the *army* that's doing most of the killing.
Bob Nixon : Ha.
Sen. Issel : Jack, the army has been busting its ass to eliminate the murder and the torture and the human rights violations down there.
Scott Dantley : Left-wing terrorists fire-bombed our 26th Mr. Chicken franchise just yesterday.
Pete Helmes : The Marxists are denying the people of Latin America their right to eat Mr. Chicken. And, they're denying Mr. Chicken his human right to franchise and make a profit.
Scott Dantley : Well, I sure as hell don't want some made-in-Moscow Mr. Cabbage Roll shoved down my throat against my will.
Bob Nixon : Absolutely. Those peasants deserve the dignity and human right to eat Mr. Chicken when and where they please.
