"Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life."

Algernon: Well, what shall we do?
Jack: Nothing!
Algermon: It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind.

Jack: This ghastly state of things is what you call Bumburying I suppose?
Algermon: Yes, and a perfectly wonderful Bunbury it is. The most wonderful Bunbury I have ever had in my life.
Jack:  Well, you've no right whatsoever to Bunbury here.
Algemon: That is absurd. One has a right to Bunbury anywhere one chooses. Every serious Bunburyist knows that.
Jack: Serious Bumburyist? Good Heavens!
Algemon: Well, one must be serious about something, if one wants to have any amusement in life. I happen to be serious about Bumburying. What on earth you are serious about I haven't got the remotest idea. About everything, I should fancy. You have such an absolutely trivial nature.
