- Clarence:
- How's the campaign against cigarette advertising coming along?
- Marmaduke:
- Well, we're facing big opposition from the tobacco companies, but I think we may be on
the verge of a breakthrough.
- Clarence:
- How so?
- Marmaduke:
- Well, if all goes according to plan, three weeks from now there'll be a total ban on all
forms of tobacco advertising - and sponsorship. You won't be able to find a single
cigarette brand name anywhere in town, no matter where you look.
- Clarence:
- And you think you can get that ban approved by Legco?
- Marmaduke:
- I hope so. We've got a few big names backing us up.
- Clarence:
- Like who?
- Marmaduke:
- Well, there's the Duchess of Kent . . . the Duke of Marlborough . . . and the grandson
of Winston - you know, Winston Churchill. We're going to use their names in a big media
blitz against tobacco ads.
- Clarence:
- Well, with big names like that you can't fail. How did you manage to get them?
- Marmaduke:
- Oh, I don't know. Just call it a lucky strike.
