jack: what do you mean you don't know? i thought that you already know.

jim: no. what do you mean i already know? i don't know about it. i don't know anything.

jack: cannot be.

jim: what you mean cannot be? i just don't know. so what is it?

jack: you are kidding right?

jim: hello! i don't know means i don't know. lets just leave it as that. now, just tell me what it is.

jack: thats strange. i would think that you will be one of the first to know.

jim: can you stop it and just tell me. this is getting on my nerves.

jack: ok ok. i just wanted you to know that...

john: whats up man?

jack: ah! john is here. i'll bet he can tell you. go on john, tell him what you know.

john: know what?

jack: what do you mean know what? know about me. you know...

john: (wide eye) i don't know at all. what are you talking about?

jim: you mean you don't know what this guy here is talking about also?

john: no! of course not! what talking you? what is it that i should know but i don't?

jack: come on! you guys are just pulling my leg, right? john, you should know.

john: this is getting ridiculous. i have no idea what you are talking about and it is killing me to know that i don't know something that i should know.

jack: well, i just thought that you would know and that...

jim: stop it! none of us here knows, so for goodness sake, just tell us already.

jack: ok ok. keep your pants on. its not like it is some life and death thingy and that without it...

john: enough. just go straight to the point will you.

john: you sure?!

jack: i'm sure! jenni, what do you mean you know? you don't know at all and here you are going around, anyhow talk.

jenni: well, i just thought that...

jack: don't anyhow think lah. you almost humiliated me. you are wrong. i am not gay and so i concluded that you don't know about it either.

jim: 2 things. one, i'm glad you are not gay. two, jenni, you are no better than us.

jenni: oh well. thats what i thought.

john: now that we have your sexual inclinations cleared up, what is it that we don't know anyway? tell us.

jim: quite a lot, from the looks of it.

jenni: shut up.
