Why in Database: The turtle only appears as a mention in the dialogue, alluding to the story of Tortoise and the Hare. The characters are talking, one wonders what will happen if their favorite does not win the election. The second one wonders if he could lose (because he is the favorite), to which the first one asks if he has heard the story about the tortoise and the hare.
– What would happen if Cantrell didn’t get elected?
– That’s stupid. How could he lose?
– Did you ever hear the story of the tortoise and the hare?
– I’m not at all interested in a tortoise.
