Vice-President Nance Quotes in Dave (1993)

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]

Dave: What?

Vice-President Nance: How did you get started?

Dave: [smiles] Kind of the same way.
