The governor is confused, then finally comes to grasp that Beret Guy is talking about rabbits, lots of which can be seen if he would just go outside (by the way, there is a ''small'' one '''RIGHT NOW'''!). |

Alternatively, Beret Guy might have misinterpreted the governor's request for security as a question for whether he works in security. This also may be an ironic reference to the rapid turnover in the current President's staff. |
