Woman #1: Wait, we’re in Man­hat­tan now?
Woman #2: Yes, we crossed the Harlem riv­er.
Woman #1: But… We were in the Bronx. I did­n’t know Man­hat­tan went up that far.
Woman #2: We were in the part of the Bronx that’s next to Man­hat­tan, not the part that’s north of it.

Woman #2: No. Most of us man­aged to fig­ure it out for our­selves.
