Mr. Donald, there is a rumor going around that if you were elected President, you might not serve.

DONALD
Well, it's a job, right? Like any other job. I have to see what the competition is offering. How much do they pay?

WOLF
I think the Presidency pays about $450,000 a year.

DONALD
So little? That would hardly cover my travel expenses.

WOLF
Travel expenses are added to the salary.

DONALD
450K is barely in the one percent.

WOLF
Mr. Donald, the Presidency is the highest office in the land.

DONALD
Not in terms of salary. I could get more by sitting on a couple of Boards. Or giving a few speeches.

WOLF
But think of the prestige and the influence. You would be head of the most powerful nation in the world.

DONALD
It would be the most powerful nation in the world because I was the head of it.

WOLF
America did alright without you for almost 250 years now.

DONALD
Yeah, but think how well it would do with me, okay?

WOLF
Please reconsider! You would create a national crisis. An elected President who refused to serve. Especially when you've chosen to be your own Vice-President.

DONALD
But think of the headlines. My face would be on every television screen in the world.

WOLF
Yes, refusing to be President.

DONALD
Publicity is publicity. So long as they remember your name.

WOLF
What about the name of your country.

DONALD
That would get a lot of publicity, too.
