Man: You know, son, you may not be aware of it, but I had to take a major cut in salary to work for this Administration. Coming here hasn't all been gravy. Mark: Dad, tell me something: why is it whenever someone makes a trade-off between a huge salary and enormous power, he wants people to think he's made some big sacrifice? Man: Because it is a sacrifice, dammit! Do you think I enjoy being one of a handful of people responsible for the economic destiny of the greatest power on earth? Mark: No... no, of course not. Why do you do it, Dad? Man: For Ronnie, of course. What a guy. I still can't get over his operating room jokes.
