Admiral Al Calavicci : I love the theater! The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd...

Admiral Al Calavicci : [sings] "Chicks and dogs and pigs better scurry..."
Dr. Sam Beckett : Ducks.
Admiral Al Calavicci : "When I..." Ducks?
Dr. Sam Beckett : It's ducks and geese, not... pigs and dogs.
Admiral Al Calavicci : Ducks?
