"You Can't Take it With You"- Grandpa
Where does the fun come in? Don't you think there ought to be something more? You must have wanted more than that when you started out. We haven't much time, you know- any of us.
I have a lot of fun. Don't see anybody I don't want to , don't have six hours of things I have to do before I get one hour to do what I like in.
I used to get down to that office nine o'clock sharp no matter how I felt. Lay awake nights for fear I wouldn't get that contract. Used to worry about the world, too. Got all worked up about whether Cleveland or Blaine was going to be elected president- seemed awful important at the time, but who cares now? What I'm trying to say is that I've had thirty-five years that nobody can take away from me, no matter what they do to the world. See?

Your grandpa is right about some things, to be sure. But I'm inclined to think that it did matter whether Cleveland or Blaine got elected. I'm a Cleveland man, myself. Oh, you can't assume everything he does is going to jibe with what you want, think and feel. I was never happy about the way he handled those striking railroad workers, but if they held that election again, Cleveland would get my vote.
I never was happy about Benjamin Harrison. And all the same, although Bryan lost, they did the right thing when they nominated him.
