Quotes 

• Jack Donaghy : Let's cut to the chase. I need you to assure me you would never allow the government to interfere with the sale of one company to another.

  Steven Austin : The government shouldn't interfere in anything! What happens inside a man's own rain poncho at a minor league baseball game is his own business.

  Jack Donaghy : Well Steve, we should stop talking... before I change my mind.

• Jack Donaghy : What should be the role of the government for you?

  Steven Austin : Limited. I believe in small government.

  Jack Donaghy : Excellent answer.

  Steven Austin : Or no government at all. If it works in Antarctica, why can't it work here? But if we have to have government, make it as small as possible. Dwarves, tiny buildings, pizza bagels for lunch.

  Jack Donaghy : Maybe we should stop at small government.

• Jack Donaghy : I've been reading up on you, Steve. Honestly, I want to like you. But I see that you're not affiliated with the Republican Party.

  Steven Austin : The party system is broken, Jack. I don't believe in parties. I don't join 'em, and I never get invited to 'em... Hint, hint.

• Steven Austin : [a campaign commercial]  This country has lost its way. We need to start over and return to what made our nation great. My name is Steve Austin, and I'm a lifelong resident of Rhode Island, and the manager of a local paintball facility. I will clean out Washington, like it's the bathroom of a paintball facility. Vote Steve Austin. And if you're blind, I am the wrestler.

• Steven Austin : You probably know me from the future, where I am the President of the United States, Steve Austin.

• Steven Austin : [Filming a campaign commercial]  I am a constitutional originalist, and I believe that our founding fathers had it right. We need to get back to their America. No paved roads. Rum used as an anesthetic. Legalized slavery...

  Jack Donaghy : [interrupting]  All right. Some good pieces.
