Mayor Peter Chase : Some days I feel like quitting. You ever feel like that?
Frank Reagan : Yeah. Lots.
Mayor Peter Chase : Why don't you?

Mayor Peter Chase : Oh, come on. A father, grandfather, pillar of the community.
Frank Reagan : Well, my kids are middle-aged and have their own life, my grandkids are mostly elsewhere, and "pillar of the community" mostly translates as "forgotten but not gone."
Mayor Peter Chase : I had no idea you were so hard on yourself. Or is that something you trot out looking for some sympathy?
Frank Reagan : I'm not looking for sympathy. You asked, I answered.
Mayor Peter Chase : Mm.
Frank Reagan : Anyway, I'm sorry to let you down. You have a good night
