Oxfeld: did you know, before the sunday times told you, that "poseidon adventure" was a big gay movie?
Coen: i had no idea. but once i read that, i assumed you had watched it during your pubescent years and have since associated tidal waves with the tidal wave of emotion in realizing you liked boys.
Oxfeld: i had no idea till yesterday
Coen: really? but now, when you see trailers for it, you get a little turned on — right?
Oxfeld: um, no.
Oxfeld: haven't seen a trailer. never saw the movie.
Coen: then you're not really gay!
Oxfeld: right. didn't see it cause pubescent years were otherwise occupied with streisand flicks and golden girls.
