Jill: “What do you think it is that motivates us humans?”

Jack: “Oscar Wilde said,‘Everything in the world is about sex.’”

Jill: “To which, he added,‘except sex.’”

Jack: “He did? ... So what’s sex about?”

Jill: “Try changing your aftershave.”

Jack: “No, not sex, Smartypants, I don't get his meaning.”

Jill: “Beats me too. Maybe it means, if you’re sexy you have what everybody wants, so ipso facto you have the power ... which, apparently, is all about sex anyways.”

Jack: “What’s wrong with my aftershave?”

Jill: “It’s a tad overpowering, don’t you think, Jack?”
