I'm sorry. I just can't.

There's not a socialist in the bunch.

Come on, Mr Very-Nearly-President! Now's your chance. Seize the day! How're you gonna take away our guns with a crew like this? Do you really expect to nationalize industries with these guys? Are these the people you're going to use to kick in my door in the middle of the night and drag me off to a gulag in the Dakotas?

I can still hope. It was all about hope, right? A place called hope we can believe in, right?
