| Kris: |
This makes democracy sound like an auction. |
| Tim: |
It is. Politicians are always selling out to the highest bidder. |
| Sam: |
Isn't that a lame generalization? Aren't politicians supposed to have integrity? |
| Ted: |
(smiling) What folks call 'integrity' generally means an inadequate price. |
| Sam: |
But some principles aren't for sale. |
| Ted: |
Maybe so, but politicians are eminent realists. And in the real world, every transaction has a price. |
| Terri: |
(in a Texan accent) God is the highest bidder in any transaction. If we forget His Voice, we're damned. |
| Kris: |
(chuckling lightly) Save yer sermons for Sunday . . . |
