Jerry: It's all about oil.
George: No, it all about world domination.
Jerry: But we already have world domination.
George: Keep your voice down.
Jerry: Well, what was it about then.
George: All right, I'll tell you. It was about nothing.
Jerry: You can't have a war about nothing. Maybe it was about Enron.
George: It wasn't about Enron. It was about nothing.
Jerry: That doesn't make any sense.
George: Nothing is the only thing the war could have been about.
Jerry: Why couldn't it have been about something?
George: Because if it was about something it would really have been about something else.
Jerry: But if it's about nothing there's nothing else it could have been about.
George: There you go.
