“But I am Steven Hopkins.”
“Well, it's all how you spell it out, right? You think you're one thing when you announce it, but others might not agree. There is a difference, you know? Understand, we have our standards to maintain.”
“You know, my wife had reservations about us coming here.”
“We get that a lot. What's her name?”
