The sound kind of sucks, I know, but you have to give credit to the director on this one. He (or she) cuts to a two-shot of Quayle and Bentsen just as Quayle is mentioning Kennedy. The look on Bentsen's face is just incredible. "And I'm going to be on a first-hand basis with these people because I will be the Vice President, and I will be in charge of drugs and space and things."
Of course, the Democrats lost the '88 election. Think about that for a second...for four years, the United States was 'a heartbeat away' from that glorified lemur running the country. Hail to the Chimp indeed.
