Hi Yusuf,

I just did this last night and got the same (nonsensical) error. All they're looking for you to do is something like 'She said "I can\'t remember what went here" to me.'

Don't know why the error message says that, but just make sure you put the backslashes in. You code should look like like this: var statement = 'She said "How\'s the family?"' or this var statement = "She said \"How\'s the family?\""
