All of our children will be President of the United States

"Doctor, we've taIked about a good many things...but there's one thing we haven't talked about. Have you given any thought to the problems your children will have?"

"Yes, and they'll have some.And we'll have the children. Otherwise, you couldn't call it a marriage."

"Is that the way Joey feels?"

"She feels that all of our children will be president of the United States (Italics mine)... and they'll all have
colorful administrations. (pause)Well, you made her, Mr. Drayton. I just met her in Hawall."

"But how do you feel about that problem?

"Well, frankIy, I think your daughter is a bit optimistic. (laughs) I'd settle for secretary of state.(Italics mine)"
