Guru: Who are you? Do you know who you are? Harold Fine: I’m trying. Guru, I’m really trying. Guru: When you stop trying, then you’ll know who you are. Harold Fine: Well, I’m trying to stop trying. Guru: Good.

Prime Minster Count Rupert Mountjoy: We must declare war on the United States. Benter: But we can never win such a war! Prime Minster Count Rupert Mountjoy: Of course not, but we could win the peace. I’ve given this a lot of thought gentlemen and I’m perfectly positive that I am right. You must remember, the Americans are a very strange people. Whereas other countries rarely forgive anything, the Americans forgive anything. There isn’t a more profitable undertaking for any country than to declare war on the United States and to be defeated.
