- Gene [ to Gaynor about George ]: Rearrange the following words: change, never, leopard, spots. Gene shuffles the words from the English proverb, "A leopard cannot change its spots," somewhat based on Jeremiah 13:23 "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil." Since in the text, change is possible.
