Guy 1: You're flying! How?
Guy 2: Python!
Guy 2: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
Guy 2: Hello world is just 'print "Hello, World!" '
Guy 1: I dunno... Dynamic typing? Whitespace?

Guy 1: But how are you flying?
Guy 2: I just typed 'import antigravity'
Guy 1: That's it?
Guy 2: ...I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
Guy 2: But i think this is the python.
