Huey: Okay, horoscopes...let's see...here I am... Caesar: What's it say? Huey: "Your efforts to deliver the world from the corrupt grasp of those in powerwill only leave you a broken and bitter individual, incapable of seeing the beauty and joys of life.

Caesar: Weird how accurate those things can be sometimes, huh? Huey: What do you mean?
