- The Duck of Freedom!
> Well, it is an enormous duck, to be sure.
- I knew this day would come...
> How did you know, Charlie?
- I dreamt it, Bill!
> You dream a lot of things, Charlie.
- Not like this dream, Bill! It had power, significance. A sense of reality!
> Whatever you say, Charlie.
- Just tell me one thing, Bill...
> Yes...?
- Is the duck wearing a hat?
> Yes, the duck is wearing a hat.
- And what colour is the hat, Bill?
> If you had your glasses on, you'd see.
- Please, Bill! Just tell me! I need to know!
> Okay, Charlie... it's... erm...
- What colour, Bill?
> A kind of... beige.
- Beige?
> Yes. The duck's hat is beige.
- Damn.
> What?
- Then it can't be the Duck of Freedom.
> Why not, Charlie?
