Border Agent
When you're visiting the Great White North of Canada, you got your Canado's and your Canadon'ts. Right there, top shelf, number one: don't go tellin a Canadian you don't follow hockey.
Wallace Bryton
Of course. I should have known that. It makes them sad, right?
Border Agent
Canadians don't get sad. Sadness was made by the USA.
Wallace Bryton
Oh, c'mon, what does that mean?
Border Agent
Take off, it's true! Right there, on our flag. It's right there when you look at it, and you see past that sacred maple leaf, you know what you see?
Wallace Bryton
A white wall.
Border Agent
You see that, in America, you're red white and blue, but in Canada, you're red, white, but never blue, eh? Ever.
Wallace Bryton
Gotcha. That's actually... I never thought of it that way before. I just thought of Canadians as, you know... nice.
Border Agent
Well, that right there is another Canadon't. We're not nice, we're optimistic. There's a difference.
