Prelate Souf: Captain, I have studied more than a little bit of human culture.
Prelate Souf: Nowhere have I found brightly colored, conical hats and inflatable noisemakers to be appropriate funeral attire.
Prelate Souf: In fact, they only seem to appear during celebrations of the New Year and childrens' parties.
Captain Tagon: We were. . . Celebrating Xinchub's. . . Umm. . . Rebirth as an icon of your new society. . . and. . . umm. . .
Prelate Souf: Yes. Quite.
Prelate Souf: Here is your pay. Take your party hats and go.
