3 nerds discussing a scene from Lost
Nerd1: If Desmond is so rich, why didn't he fly first class, bruthas?
Nerd2: I thought it was implied he was in First class. He sat with Jack in economy and then went back to first class explaining why people think he 'vanished off the plane'.
Nerd1: Does that mean Chaaalie could have run into first class and vanished from the cops? No wonder first class is so expensive.
Nerd3: He had a bag of heroin pressing against THE artery. He couldn't have run anywhere. Come on!
Nerd1: THE artery is not bound by time, space or even television network. It will truly enslave us all.
