Transcript:

Zonker: I can't believe I didn't even know the draft was being reinstated. I try so to keep up. Boopsie: It's not your fault, Zonker. You've been in training. Mike: Zonker, it's not the draft. It's just registration. There's a big difference. Registration's just a political ploy. Zonker: You think so, Mike? Mike: Positive. The draft is still to unpopular. Zonker: Maybe you're right. Besides, they'd have to take women, too. And the country sure isn't ready for that! Mike: That was Congress's feeling. Zonker: Huh? You mean, we're on our own? Boopsie: Of course, silly. We'd just get in the way.
