We had just been fighting someone by the cliffside, and then she jumped off, bounced back up, and informed us that we should jump off too, because there was a trampoline at the bottom. Sure, it's obvious that the trampoline is there, but wouldn't you think that the villains would move it after we jumped off so that we'd fall to our deaths? That's what I think, at least.
 * Do you understand what I'm saying?
