"I started to walk down the street when I heard a voice saying: 'Good evening, Mr. Dowd.' I turned and there was this big white rabbit leaning against a lamp post. Well, I thought nothing of that, because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name. And naturally, I went over to chat with him -- and he asked me, 'Mr. Dowd, do you know what Hollywood unoriginality is?' Well, sir, I surely didn't and I told him so. And then he told me about something that would happen 68 years from now."
