Quotes
-
Johnny MacKay : [while waiting to see President Grant at the White House, MacKay talks to the man sitting next to him] Have you met the President?
[the man nods, MacKay moves closer to him]
Johnny MacKay : What's he like?
Jesse Grant : Plain as a mud fence. Smokes like a chimney and... drinks now and then, too. I'd say he fits better in some tent than... this place.
Johnny MacKay : What are you, a missionary?
Jesse Grant : Me?
[chuckles]
Johnny MacKay : You don't act like you like our President.
Jesse Grant : You're wrong there, son.
[pauses]
Jesse Grant : I'm his father.
