from 1600 Penn [1.4]:
Klaus: The china was a gift from the royal house of Hapsburg. The artisans who made it perished in a workshop fire. All was lost but the china inside the kiln.
Emily: Well, those artisans did not die in vain.
Klaus: Nor did the mountaineers who froze to death transporting it over the Alps. Or the sailors, who safely shipped it all the way across the Atlantic.
Emily: Well, they made it.
Klaus: To shore, where they were set upon by wolves.
President: Sounds like bad luck china.
