College guy #2: Well, I guess he was kind of cast out of society because he was lost, you know?
College guy #1: Yeah…I still don't get it. It's not like someone came up to him and was like “Hey you, I'm casting you away!”
College guy #2: Right. Hey, you know what's another really good movie? Nanook of the North. It has an igloo in it!
