- Anthony Blake: Once when I was in India, I met a very wise old man who told me that the smartest thing he ever met was an ancient owl who learned all the wisdom of the ages. But this owl was very hard to catch, and the only way to catch it was with a lot of bright colors. So he started to produce these beautiful scarves. Like this... and like this. And he just kept producing more and more scarves. And if you pile together enough bright scarves and reach underneath, what do you find?

- Janet Keegan: Where we going?
- Anthony Blake: My place.

- Janet Keegan: It used to be that I just couldn't stand the idea of you being involved with people in trouble. And now I'm the one who's in trouble.
