"You have to get to know them really well. Get them to start talking. And then they'll tell you the most absurd things."

"Do you talk to ducks besides me?"

"Maybe."

"Whooooo?"

"My sources have asked to be left unnamed and uncited."

"Why? I won't hurt ducks."

"Well of course not, you're a duck. But they don't know that."

"I wouldn't hurt ducks even if I was a not a duck."

"Well, that's very good of you, but you recall the aviophopic people."

"But is that very many people?"

"Probably not. Ducks are notoriously paranoid."

"I didn't know that."

"And now you are enlightened."

"I'm not paranoid."

"Well, you're an odd duck, and not all ducks are paranoid."

"Okay."
