EBBIRNOTH: But you do have to stand here and accept a reprimand from a guy in full power armor who knows that you did something incredibly stupid!

KEVYN: That's a pretty good definition of the business we're in.
KEVYN: Carry on. This sort of thing is much more effective with a sympathetic audience.
