Reminds me of this:
Price: Really, Hendo? A cunning and subtle one?
Hendo: Yes, sir.
Price: As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?
Hendo: Yes, sir.
Voice: On the signal, company will advance!
Price: Well, I’m afraid it’ll have to wait. Whatever it was, I’m sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman round here?
