Benjamin: Help me out here! I want to know what your parents have taught you and what they haven't! Talk to the doctor, kids! Boy: Um... yeah, my name's Joe and I guess I know most of this stuff, but it just doesn't worry me. Benjamin: So you don't take any precautions? Boy: No, I just figure the odds are against conception. Benjamin: And what do you make those odds to be, Joe? Listen up, people! Boy: I dunno... about a zillion to one? Benjamin: Your parents, are they stationed overseas? I'm trying to understand, Joe!
