'Doc' - Passenger on Yacht: I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization. The beast of the jungle, killing just for his existence, is called savage. The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized... It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?
Bob: Now just a minute... What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal, as it is for the man? Now take that fellow right there, for instance.
