Dude, you missed that? Wow. That got a major “ewwww” from me the first time I saw the film. I understand the dialogue is expanded in the “Special Edition/Directors Cut” DVD version that came out a few years back.

FYI the movie is filled with Trojans.

The Roman army in the film is the USC Marching band. Supposedly some of them are wearing wristwatches and sneakers. Oh well.

UPDATE FROM YOUR MAXIMUM LEADER: Trust me AirMarshal, your Maximum Leader doesn’t know how he missed it either. He normally isn’t dense about using coy terms like “oyster” and “snail.” Indeed once he remembered describing a whole “encounter” by using Napoleanic war analogies… Or was that the Minister of Agriculture? Regardless… He is just as shocked as you are about not getting that.
