Dave (film)

"I forgot that I was hired to do a job for you and that it was just a temp job at that. I forgot that I had two hundred and fifty million people who were paying me to make their lives a little better and I didnt live up to my part of the bargain. See, there are certain things you should expect from a President. I ought to care more about you than I do about me... I ought to care more about whats right than I do about whats popular. I ought to be willing to give this whole thing up for something I believe in."

"Dave Kovic was an ordinary guy who was asked to impersonate the President. When they gave him a chance to make the country better...he did."

"Shes great. Shes really exotic. Shes a princess. Shes Polynesian — well, half Polynesian, and half American. Shes... Amnesian."

"If youve ever seen the look on somebodys face the day they finally get a job, Ive had some experience with this, they look like they could fly. And its not about the paycheck, its about respect, its about looking in the mirror and knowing that youve done something valuable with your day. And if one person could start to feel this way, and then another person, and then another person, soon all these other problems may not seem so impossible. You dont really know how much you can do until you, stand up and decide to try."

"[singing in the shower] Hail to the chief / Hes the one we all say "Hail" to. / We all say "Hail" / Cause he keeps himself so clean! / Hes got the power, / Thats why hes in the shower..."

"In a country where anybody can become President, anybody just did."
