Quote from Brick in True Grit

Mike: Okay, whatever. I'm just saying don't put so much pressure on it. Relax. You know a joke? Tell a joke.
Brick: I don't know any jokes.
Mike: Oh. Well, um... Okay, here's one I like. "Your mom is so ugly, when she goes to the zoo, she needs two tickets... one to get in and one to get out."
Brick: I don't understand.
Mike: Well, they're saying that she's so ugly they think she's an animal. So she needs... [chuckles] a ticket to get out of the zoo.
Brick: So, you're saying if an animal had a ticket, the zoo would just let it out? That's not safe. And how would he even carry a ticket with its hooves?
Mike: No, it... [sighs] You're missing the point.
Brick: Is the animal being let out of the zoo the joke part?
Mike: No! The woman is so ugly they think she's an animal. That's the joke.
Brick: Is it?
Mike: Yes!
Brick: So I'm insulting someone's mother, animals are on the loose causing chaos in society, and the zoo is somehow charging people to leave. I'm sorry, there's just so much wrong with this, Dad. Thank you, but when it comes to talking to teenage football players, I'll take my chances with Charlie Rose.
