Quotes 

• Vice-President Nance : [upon finally becoming President]  I plan to continue Bill Mitchell's call to arms. This is not my Presidency, this is *his* Presidency. I can't think of any better way to honor his memory, than to continue the ideals he initiated.

• Dave : You ever think back to how you got started?

  Vice-President Nance : Well...

  [chuckles] 

  Vice-President Nance : I was a shoe salesman. Not very happy about it. One day, my wife says to me, "why don't you try running for office? You know, you talk about it all the time. Why don't you just go do it?" So I tell my boss I have a dentist appointment, and go down to the registrar of voters on my lunch break... next thing I know I'm a councilman.

  Dave : Really?

  Vice-President Nance : My wife was my campaign manager, we had a budget of two thousand dollars - with advertising.

  [laughs] 

  Vice-President Nance : What about you?

  Dave : Me?

  Vice-President Nance : Yeah. How did you get started?

  Dave : [smiles]  Kind of the same way.
