Roland Quote #72

Quote from Roland in The Candidate

Johnny: Well, I just stopped by to pick up a nomination form for town council.
Roland: You know, I gotta hand it to you. Um, it takes a brave man to face defeat yet again, when his ego is so battered and bruised.
Johnny: Well, I don't plan on losing, but thank you for the vote of confidence.
Roland: Johnny, nobody plans on losing. But with all due respect, this is a kind of a different playing field for you.
Johnny: Roland, I ran the second largest retail video chain in North America, so...
Roland: Well, that's good to hear, so you're used to coming in second, huh?
Johnny: Could I get a nomination form, please?!
Roland: Look I'm just trying to help you out here, okay? I've been in politics for 18 years, and let me tell you something, pal, it ain't a cakewalk, okay?! Say goodbye to your privacy. You walk into a restaurant, everybody's gonna know who you are!
Johnny: Well, everyone knows everyone here, because there's only one restaurant.
Roland: I mean, just taking your boy for ice cream cone can turn into a media circus.
Johnny: Well, your son is 30, and you never see him.

David: Thanks.
