From you, good sir.

Or else I'm just as bad at reading people as I am at reading novels. Gee, I now I know why I flunked that test to be lawyer. [Except for the whole "he never took one" thing, but shhh.]

Things that fight, I'm familiar with. You'll need to tell me a little more about the boogeymen and goblins before I start being frightened of monsters under my bed again. I drove them out with garlic last time. Mother wasn't amused.
