Give up? You didn't even try to explain where that scene was and where it happened. How do you tell people directions to get places? Do you say "What, you don't know how to get to the mall?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
