A Conversation About Appearance and Identity
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
I can't show my face.
Og:
What's wrong with your face?
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
Are you blind, boy? I'm black!
Og:
I think it's very becoming.
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
It is NOT! I'm a white man, dammit! A white man! At least I was, up until a couple of days ago.
Og:
Well, that's a coincidence! I was green a couple of weeks ago! Don't you find the occasional change of color interesting?

Why, what's happened?

A blight has fallen over Ireland!
Finian McLonergan:
The British are back?

Never have I seen such a curse befall a folk in all me four hundrend and fifty... nine years! Poor Ireland!
Finian McLonergan:
Poor Ireland!
Og:
Suffering Ireland! The native land!
Finian McLonergan:
Me native land! A fine lot of faery folk you are! You and your associates letting all this happen! Why don't you wish it away?
Og:
We've lost the power!
Finian McLonergan:
You've lost the power to make wishes? What has Ireland to live for now! Answer me that!

Doom and gloom! DOOOOOOOOM AND GLOOOOOOOOM!

Who's the author of this foul outrage?

A monster, McLonnergan!

A monster? You mean the old flame-breathing type with the head of a dragon?
Og:
Oh, no, this is a tiny wee monster, about... your size.
Finian McLonergan:
Lead me to him! Who is this monster?
Og:
You'll excuse me for pointing, Mr. McLonnergan... but it's you.

I wonder who thought it up.

Questioning Reality and Yearning for Truth
Finian McLonergan:
How dare you come back here! Didn't I tell you you were an optical delusion?
Og:
I was ready to believe you yesterday but not today. Today I have proof!
Finian McLonergan:
What proof?
Og:
Does an optical illusion feel such a hungry yearning burning inside of him? Does an optical illusion feel the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom in the roaring traffic's boom in his lonely room?
Finian McLonergan:
Are you flying high and wide on a magic carpet ride full of butterflies inside?
Og:
Aye, and what's worse, smoke keeps coming out of me eyes.
Finian McLonergan:
You go round like an elevator lost in the tide?
Og:
That's the feeling! Day and night, night and day!

Leprechaun, I've come to a decision! I deny your existence! You're only a figment of me imagination!

And I'll prove it to myself by walking right through you! Step aside! There, you see?
Og:
Oh, this is dreadful! I don't exist.

Debate Over Legality of Local Ordinance
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
You've been violating the law, here.
Finian McLonergan:
Since when?
Senator Billboard Rawkins: [reading]
This afternoon. I just finished drafting this. Local ordinance number 7428: be it known that in the county of Rainbow Valley, it is a felony for members of the Caucasian and Negro races...
Finian McLonergan:
But it seems to me that this law could not be a legal law...
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
Of course it's legal! I don't know where you immigrants get these radical, foreign ideas!
Sharon McLonergan:
From a wee book the immigration officer handed us. It's called The United States Constitution.
Finian McLonergan:
Haven't you read it?
Senator Billboard Rawkins:
I don't have time to read it, I'm too busy defending it!

Dispute Over Ownership of Gold
Sharon McLonergan: [looking in Finian's bag]
It's gold!
Finian McLonergan:
Aye, it's a pot of gold.
Sharon McLonergan:
And you stole it!
Finian McLonergan:
I did not steal it! I only borrowed.
Sharon McLonergan:
Who did you borrow it from?
Finian McLonergan:
Why do you want to know?
Sharon McLonergan:
So we can lend it right back to him, that's why!
Finian McLonergan:
That's impossible! He's not mortal.
Sharon McLonergan:
You killed him!
Finian McLonergan:
Of course not! He never was mortal. He's a leprechaun.
Sharon McLonergan:
A leprechaun?
Finian McLonergan:
Of course! Who else would have gold in Ireland?

Defense of Tradition Against Radicalism
Senator Billboard Rawkins: [dictating a speech to Buzz]
Gentlemen, the festering tides of radicalism are upon us. But before I yield up our glorious South -and her sister commonwealth, the U.S. of A - I will lay down my life. I will do more - I will filibuster. Back, you crackpots! Forward, America! Forward to the hallowed principles of our forefathers. Forward to the sweet tranquility of the status quo. Forward... to yesterday!
