Joey Naylor:...so what happens when you're wrong?

Nick Naylor: -Whoa, Joey I'm never wrong.

J: But you can't always be right...

N: -Well if it's your job to be right, then you're never wrong.

J: But what if you are wrong?

N: -OK, let's say that you're defending chocolate, and I'm defending vanilla. Now if I were to say to you: 'Vanilla is the best flavour ice-cream', you'd say:

J: No, chocolate is.

N: Exactly, but you can't win that argument... so, I'll ask you: so you think chocolate is the end all and the all of ice-cream, do you?

J: It's the best ice-cream, I wouldn't order any other.

N: -Oh! So it's all chocolate for you is it?

J: Yes, chocolate is all I need.

N: Well I need more than chocolate, and for that matter I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom. And choice when it comes to our ice-cream, and that Joey Naylor, that is the defintion of liberty.

J: But that's not what we're talking about

N: -Ah! But that's what I'm talking about.

J: ...but you didn't prove that vanilla was the best...

N: I didn't have to. I proved that you're wrong, and if you're wrong I'm right.
