(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375063/quotes)
Maya: What's the title [of your novel]?
Miles Raymond: "The Day After Yesterday."
Maya: Oh... You mean, 'today'?
----
As it becomes evident, it's not _obvious_ that Miles _did_ mean "today"[else
he would have titled the novel thus] -- even though it is _analytically_
*true* that 'the day after yesterday' _is_ 'today'. A case of co-referential
opacity?
Cheers,
J. L.
