"…Although having connections is important, it is hard to remember people. Don't you think so, Rudy?"

"Certainly. How do you remember them, Iris?"

"Aah, well, it's usually like that, huh."

"Afterwards, should the worse happen, I'll have Tanya to slip in and quietly whisper me their names from behind."
