W: Come here, Napoleon! It's time for lunch! Trev: Excuse me, ma'am, but whom are you calling Napoleon? W: Oh, just my pet pig over there! His name is Napoleon. Trev: That's illegal, ma'am; didn't you know? It's illegal for any pig in France to be named Napoleon. I'm afraid you'll have to rename your beloved pet. W: Wow, I honestly never knew that. The Napoleon era was so long ago I had figured everyone was over it. I have no idea what I'll rename him now. He's already two years old so I think any new name will just confuse him. Trev: Well, why not give him a name that people tend to associate with Napoleon… W: Like what? Trev: Call him Dynamite! W: Huh? Tre: Like Napoleon Dynamite, the movie! (Written by Matteen Aminpour)
