Stephen Falken:
Except, that I never could get Joshua to learn the most important lesson.

David Lightman:
What's that?

Stephen Falken:
Futility. That there's a time when you should just give up.

Jennifer:
What kind of a lesson is that?

Stephen Falken:
Did you ever play tic-tac-toe?

Jennifer:
Yeah, of course.

Stephen Falken:
But you don't anymore.

Jennifer:
No.

Stephen Falken:
Why?

Jennifer:
Because it's a boring game. It's always a tie.

Stephen Falken:
Exactly. There's no way to win. The game itself is pointless!
