Marn: You understand the idea of a volta in sonnet form, right?
Rio: Well, first you write about your mum.  Then you write about hot dogs.  Then you tell them your mum likes hot dogs.
Marn: ... Where did that come from?
Rio: I made it up.

(I hadn't realised Rio had grasped the dialectical idea of thesis-antithesis-synthesis, which is fundamental to the sonnet, well enough to express it that clearly.)
