Clarence:

Well I must say I'm impressed. We've had new coins minted - getting rid of the British association. And now there's this new flag.

 

Marmaduke:

You like it?

 

Clarence:

Very much. It represents the very stuff of which Hong Kong is made. It symbolises all that Hong Kong has come to mean to those of us who've lived here for a decade or so.

 

Marmaduke:

Clarence:

Rubbish!

 

Marmaduke:

Yes. That would have been more appropriate.
