[to the crowd, trying to decline being nominated for mayor] I've known all of you all my life. I've mowed your lawns. I delivered milk for your babies. I even know the dogs and cats.
Judge Dennis: [aside to Doc Bissell & Rev. Upperman] That milk and baby part is remarkable. Rev. Upperman: After that, he could be president!
