"You know, they do this in the movies, but I don't know if it's correct. Only the president is supposed to get a 21 gun salute."
"Really?"
"Yeah. The vice president gets a 19 gun salute, and so on down the line."
"Are you jealous? Do you want a 21 gun salute?"
"Me?"
"Yeah? Maybe a 22 gun salute? How about 23?"
"Nah, I want a random cacophony."
"Okay, I'll arrange that."
