"It's that-- that dancing movie, with Patrick Swayze--"
"Dirty Dancing."
"That's the one."
"I've... had... the time of my life..."
"That's it!"
"I've never seen it."
"Oh?"
"It's one of those-- by this point, I don't have to have seen it to know everything I need to know about it. It's like scientists deducing the existence of another planet, even though they can't see it, because of its gravitational effect on the other planets around it. I know enough about Dirty Dancing to bluff my way through parts of a conversation about it without ever having seen the movie or wanting to."
"That... that's the first time I've ever heard anyone use astrophysics to explain why they haven't seen Dirty Dancing."
"It's what I'm here for."
