'" ..Well, it relieves me that you're not just a lost American wandering
around in a fog -- "
    "I'm not an American, damn it!  I'm a Canadian.  You English never know
the difference!"
    "Sorry, sorry, sorry!  Of course you're a Canadian.  Do you know what
that is?  A psychological mess.  For a lot of good reasons, including some
strong planetary influences, Canada is an introverted country straining like
hell to behave like an extravert.  Wake up!  Be yourself, not a bad copy of
something else!"'

BONE

Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase "Maple Leaf Rag", no?
