Transcript:

Ronald Reagan: Gosh, I'm awfully sorry you're leaving the team, Slackmeyer.... Phil: Me too, Mr. President. But I'm afraid the big cut in salary finally caught up with me....as you know, sir, $62,000 just doesn't go as far as it used to. Personally, I'm willing to make the sacrifice, but it's just not fair to my family. Besides, sir, it's your great new tax breaks that make is so irresistable to get back into a high bracket! Ronald Reagan: Hee, hee...hosted by my own petard, eh? Phil: Afraid so, sir. You've made it fun to be rich again!
