PQ: "John, would you consider my hand gestures to be violent imagery? I've always gestured to get my point across. Do you think I'm crossing the line? Violent imagery must be stamped out!"
JC: "I'm on board with this anti-violent imagery initiative. Violent imagery is a serious problem, leading to violent colors and other violent sensations. Surely we can start by toning it down with our ties. Besides, red ties are for Republicans, aren't they? My tie not only has violent colors, but it has a violent pattern as well. I'm so ashamed. I shall call a news conference tomorrow to renounce this tie and roll out a program to curb violence in ties."
PQ: "Very good. The people's business will move forward!"

Quinn: "A friend of mine, we'll call him friend A, gave me a great idea. So you make the deal with the Speaker on the budget, and then I'll do an amendatory veto and slash all the programs and spending for his members only and I'll keep in the budget the spending for your members and the House Republicans. Then you can double cross him and refuse to call the over-rides for a voted. Okay?"
