   I've watched White Christmas any number of times over the years but
   this is the first time I picked up on this exchange between Bob
   Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye). The boys are trying
   to figure out a way to drum up some business for the General.

     Davis: We've got to stay up here and dream up some way of getting
     people to come into this place."
     Wallace: What do you suggest?
     Davis: I don't know. Should be something unusual, some kind of a
     novelty, that, umm..
     Wallace: Well tell me, please! What would be a novelty in Vermont?
     Davis: Who knows? Maybe we can dig up a Democrat.
     Wallace: They'd stone him!

   A lot has changed in 50 years.
