Preppy teenage girl #2: No, it’s Jennifer Hudson.
Preppy teenage girl #1: Whats the difference?
Preppy teenage girl #2: Jennifer Hewitt is the white actress who made a CD and can’t sing and was in the Garfield movie. Jennifer Hudson is the black girl from American Idol who won an Oscar for that movie with Beyonce.
Preppy teenage girl #1: Are either one of them singing in this movie?
Preppy teenage girl #2: I don’t know.

Emo chick: Wait. You’re breaking up with me? Here? Why?
Normal looking boyfriend: Well, I wasn’t planning on it, but honey, you didn’t like Watchmen and you’ve never read or seen The Princess Bride. Clearly we’re just two very different people.
