I think I know where she might be.

I'll make this short since it's already so late in the day, and I know you're probably watching the SAG awards and/or picking out which Lunchable you're going to bring to work tomorrow.

In a movie, when someone throws out the line "I think I know where she might be," eight times out of ten, she is at the cemetery. She is probably very old or, more likely, very young. And even though she can't tie her own shoes or spell her full name, she knows how to find The Town Cemetery and get there on her own. We're always left to wonder about her chosen mode of transportation, but it is usually via bike or public bus. Typically, she is found before nightfall. Sometimes she has a backpack full of flashlights.

The remaining two times out of ten, she has been on the roof the entire time.
