Jack Flowers:
Do you know how Singapore got its name, William?
William Leigh:
Huh uh.
Jack Flowers:
Well, uh, it was nothing but jungle, you know...
William Leigh:
Yes.
Jack Flowers:
Nobody ever crossed over it. Then one day, this Hindu prince, he rows over with a big bunch of people. A hunting party. They were gonna' shoot some deer, with bows and arrows, all that. And, uh, they traipsed around a while... and, wait a minute! What do they spot? What? A tiger. Then they spot another tiger. And then some more tigers. They were up to their asses in tigers!
[starts to chuckle]
Jack Flowers:
So they run. They run like hell, you know? They hop back in their boats, they row away, and the prince says, "Boy! That place is something! I'm gonna' name it! I'm gonna' call it 'Singapura' - Lion City". Lion City!
William Leigh:
I thought you said they were tigers?
Jack Flowers:
Well, that's right! That's right. That's the point of the story, William. The dummy couldn't tell a tiger from a lion.
William Leigh:
That's very funny.
Jack Flowers:
What can you expect of a place that got started like that?
William Leigh:
Quite.
