• Van Den Luecken : Don't let us be impatient. Let's always remember the words they have on the Statue of Liberty.

  Inspector Hammock : "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!"

  Van Den Luecken : No. You are referring to the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. What I meant, was a simple poem, inscribed on the base of the said statue... "Give my your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shores. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Or, is it the shining door, Mr. Inspector?

  Inspector Hammock : I'm afraid you've got me there, Professor.
