But a true believer can be reduced to the helpless laughter of a hyena in a feather factory by some scenes. At one point, Vic is memorizing the opening ritual for his lodge meeting. Rush is checking and prompting him from a copy made by Miss Gregg, Vic's secretary. The following exchange takes place...
