  Arlo : Incurable nerve disease.

  Draft Clerk : And you have it?

  Arlo : It runs in the family! My father has it and my grandmother had it.

  Draft Clerk : It says here, "Do you know of any reason as to why *you* might not qualify for military service?" Not your father, not your grandmother.

  Arlo : I could get it.

  Draft Clerk : But, you don't have it now.

  Arlo : No.

  Draft Clerk : [writes down on draft form]  "None." You'll hear from us.

  Arlo : Peace.
