He's got dutch blood, it explains everything, no one from the country is sane till the opposite has been proven.

that's not really an answer is it.

I don't think those images show up quite as you think they do.

No Boxy, it's the RoCatEer, silly.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Ah, yes. The RoCateer. My apologies, it's been a wee while since I saw the movie.

... about 17 years, I think.
