GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We're just about out of time. But as you know, we're reaching out to a different audience here online. We're asking all the candidates a series of quick questions, just to have a little bit of fun at the end here. What's the worst job you ever had?

MITT ROMNEY: Bailing hay at the ranch I worked on. I'm allergic to hay.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: That counts. TV guilty pleasure?

MITT ROMNEY: Watching Modern Family with my wife.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Totally a guilty pleasure. Great show. Favorite junk food?

MITT ROMNEY: Let's see. I love good pretzels and-- peanut M&M's.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Boy, we're on the same page on a lot of this stuff. [Happinest day of your life] other than wedding day and birth of children?

MITT ROMNEY: Well, the best times are always-- family gathering times, Christmas and so forth. But-- other than those family times, it would have to be the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Winter Games in 2002.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Who would play you in the movie?

MITT ROMNEY: I would like Gene Hackman. He's my favorite actor. (LAUGH)

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: He's a terrific act-- boy, you have answers to all these. I'm a little surprised. What's your personal theme song? (LAUGH)

MITT ROMNEY: I-- I don't have a theme song. I-- I guess right now it would be-- On The Road Again.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Fair enough. Final question. Name a fifth president who belongs on Mount Rushmore.

MITT ROMNEY: I got a couple. John Adams and Ronald Reagan.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Terrific. Governor, thanks for playin' along today. Thanks for the interview. We'll see you soon.
