Danae: What are you doing out here all alone, Jeffrey? Jeffrey: Contemplating one of life's great, ironic mysteries. Danae: Maybe it'll help to talk about it. Jeffrey: OK... why doesn't the word "umlaut" have an umlaut? Danae: Why do I bother talking to boys? Jeffrey: Oh, great... another one to contemplate.
