Trip: Listen, Sal, there's nothing wrong with you that a good dose of George Will couldn't cure! Sal: Hey, blow it out your weejuns, okay, man? Mike: Boys, boys! Don't try to change each other! You guys are classic archetypes! Use that as part of your education! You two span the spectrum from the brooding cynicism of a premature burn-out to the pop'n'fresh optimism of a Reagan air-head! Trip: May the best man win! Mike: That's the spirit! Sal: See you in the car.

“Pop ‘N’ Fresh optimism of a Reagan airhead”Wish I’d seen that during his presidency. It’s so accurate as well as funny.
