He nodded "It's family and health that's important," I said, thinking maybe that's what he wanted "As long as they're OK." He ticked a box and looked up at me "I see."

"I've got some greatest hits albums." "Poetry?" "Uh, yeah, like I read it all the time." "Princess Diana?" "Let's leave her be I reckon." "Ever get the feeling intellectuals laugh at you?"
