Why in Database: In this movie, the turtle appears only in the form of a reference to The Tortoise and the Hare in dialogue . One of the heroes recalls this story, pointing out that despite the known result, i.e. the tortoise’s victory, this result was a fluke and not the norm, despite everything, in the next race, no one would bet money on the reptile. Later in the office you can also see a drawing of a tortoise and a hare racing.
– Take the tortoise and the hare. Okay, the tortoise won one race. Do you think that hare is really gonna lose any more races to turtles? Not on your life.
– I like that tortoise.
– So do But if you were a betting person, would you say… That tortoise won against the hare. In future races, I’m backing him? No. That race was almost certainly a fluke, and afterwards the tortoise is still a tortoise, and the hare a hare.
