My Fellow Americans (1996)

Marg Helgenberger: Joanna

Quotes 

• Matt Douglas : A cookbook. He wrote a cookbook. How dare he?

  Joanna : Well, you know, when he was President, he did cook for his guests all the time.

  Matt Douglas : That's not the point. Did George Washington write a book called "Your Wooden Teeth and You?" Did William Howard Taft write "Thirty Days To A Slimmer Ass?" It's shameful, just shameful.

• Matt Douglas : Look, Joanna, if the book goes, if it doesn't go, I don't really care. I'm only writing it 'cause, frankly, I don't know what else to do.

  Joanna : I'm sure you've got plenty of options.

  Matt Douglas : Not really. But I'll tell you one thing, I'll never be like Kramer, running around the country sucking up every dime that isn't nailed down. Now Jimmy Carter, there's a class act. He goes around building homes for poor people with his own hands. That's classy.

  Joanna : Well, you could do that.

  Matt Douglas : Yeah, yeah. Maybe in a couple of years, but, uh, right now, my attitude is, they didn't vote for me, let 'em freeze.
