Ricky Stratton : [snapping off the TV as his daydream ends] Dad, I owe you an apology.
Edward Stratton III : You certainly do, son. The President hasn't finished his speech yet.
Ricky Stratton : No, Dad. What I meant was, you were right about us getting our school statue back without pulling the same underhanded sneaky stuff those guys pulled on us. I'm gonna talk to those guys, man-to-man, and see if we can't work out our differences.
Edward Stratton III : Well, I'm glad to hear you feel that way, son. What changed your mind?
Ricky Stratton : Hey, I learned my lesson when I sent the Seventh Fleet to recapture The Love Boat and ended up destroying America.
