• Roger Stuart : [watching Greg Stillson on TV]  Do you believe this guy? He's just getting warmed up. Gonna vote for him, John?

  Johnny Smith : I'm not even registered.

  Roger Stuart : You're not registered?

  Johnny Smith : No.

  Roger Stuart : Well, get registered, pal, and vote against this turkey. He's dangerous.

  Greg Stillson : ...my opponent. And I see all around me so many unemployed. What are you people doing here in the middle of the day? Middle of a workday! You're standing out in the cold! Look around. Look at each other. How do you feel about each other? Are you proud of your communities? Would you send the guy next to you to the U.S. Senate? Huh? You can't even trust your own local people. You don't feel good about yourself!

  Roger Stuart : A real man of the people. Jesus, what an act. Can't they see through this guy?

  Johnny Smith : I'm mixed up. You both acted like you were friends this morning.

  Roger Stuart : Guys like Stillson, you got to walk a thin line. You can't get too close, 'cause if they lose, they'll drag you down with 'em. On the other hand, if he wins - and this turkey just might - you got to make sure you're thought of as a good friend.
