THANE: Oh, look, a big volume of Edward Lear. Must have it. It will replace that Dover book collection which we've lost and wasn't complete, anyway.

GLORIA: You can't find it, or is it lost lost?

THANE: What's the difference?

GLORIA: Something's "lost lost" if there's no possibility of finding it. Otherwise you just can't find it.

THANE: If I knew whether there was a possibility of finding it, I wouldn't call it "lost." And if I knew there was no possibility of finding it, I'd be more descriptive—I'd say, for example, "that Edward Lear book that I burned as a Equinox Offering," or "that Edward Lear book that I threw into an industrial shredder." I just mean, "it's lost," as in, "I can't find it, and I've tried."

GLORIA: Just because you've tried, ha! Calling something lost because you can't find it!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!! [Stage direction: maniacal laughter, or its psychic equivalent]

THANE: OK, fine, you try to find it. I'm buying the book.
