I'll start by defining the zeta function and stating the Weil conjectures (which have actually been theorems for some time now). I'll then go on by saying things like "Weil cohomology", "standard conjectures" and "Betti numbers of the Grassmannian". Hopefully by the end we'll all have learned something, including me.
