Quote from Jay in Travels with Scout
Gloria: What were you thinking? Who takes a little boy to a horror movie? That's loco, Jay. Jay: This is no big deal. You want scary? When I was his age, I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis. I slept with a butter knife under my pillow in case I had to fight some Soviet colonel. Gloria: Why would they send a Soviet colonel to get a little boy? Jay: Because I could identify every commie plane.
