Forget the whispering.

I wanted to see Robert Redford do the full Hydra salute.
But it was probably in his contract that he didn't have to.
Or maybe something like this happened on set:
"Okay, Robert, after you say that line, we want you to salute like this."
"No."
"But-"
"Make Shandling do it."
"We don't think he can raise his arms, and he might have had a stroke, but you-"
"No."
"I knew we should have tried to get Voight."

I think the kingdom might be in trouble.

After all, they could only afford one bike for two princesses.

(I guess that answers the question of why no one tried to invade.)

I'm sorry dear, but you can't be cut.

Sure, you just have a brief walk-on role here, but in the next book you have a pretty important one.
How did you even end up cut in the first place?

Perhaps the real question should be what kind of cap is it?

How exactly does one throw a cap around their shoulders?
Use some sort of hula hoop contraption?
Wear something similar to a Skip-It around their neck with a cap attached to the end?
Get caught in the center of a tornado?
Magic?
String?
Be in front of a green screen with a bunch of green people tossing it around?
Develop some sort of a gravitational field/orbit?
Wear a second hat that's connected to the first so that when you walk it swings around the body?
Drone technology?
A malfunctioning boomerang?
Carrier pigeon?
Hummingbird?
Forget to type the letter e?

(I just don't know, but I'm positive it's not the last one.)
