Jason Jones: I don't know, I can't find this thing! I'm in a six lane traffic circle that leads to an underpass. And then that leads to another goddamn traffic circle! I mean this Frenchified city layout makes no fucking sense. How hard is it to lay down a grid?!
Jon Stewart: Jason, you just gotta get to the Supreme Court. It's on 2nd street.
Jason Jones: There are FOUR seconds streets! John, they don't even intersect. And the columns, everywhere, the indistinguishable columns. This town is simultaneously magnificent and useless. It's like they designed the whole thing as a metaphor!
