Theodore Roosevelt:
[to Hay, while boxing]
You know as well as I do that we can't have Arab desperadoes running around kidnapping American citizens. If I had my way, I'd go in there with a couple of Winchesters, a batallion of Marines - but, I can't do that, can I? John Hay:
[breaks up Roosevelt and his opponent]
No. Theodore Roosevelt:
Has this Raspuli-? John Hay:
Raisuli. Theodore Roosevelt:
Raspuli, Raisuli, whatever - has he made any terms? John Hay:
No. Theodore Roosevelt:
Good - that gives us an excuse!
