Mutt Williams and the Hat of Destiny

From IMDB.com:

"Harrison Ford had a very special wrap gift for his movie son after completing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - he tossed Shia LaBeouf his sweaty hat.
Ford, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg - the moviemakers behind the Indiana Jones franchise - have dismissed reports LaBeouf will be taking over as Jones, but the young star has the movie icon's hat! He tells the new issue of Playboy magazine, 'It has his sweat stains from the whole movie in it. We were way out somewhere at an airplane hangar on the last day of shooting, and he took the hat off his head, signed it and handed it to me. When I looked at the hat I saw he had written something with a silver Sharpie (pen). It said, 'It's all yours now, kid - Harrison.' But LaBeouf is quick to point out that he won't be taking over from Ford any time soon: 'It's easy to perceive that as his handing the reins over to me on a franchise or whatever... that's not it. What I read it as is, 'Keep your [stuff] on.' It was his way of saying 'Life is going to get crazy now, so strap on tight, kid.'"

Ah, fatherly love! I would've killed for that hat.
