Sharpie: Is that all, hobo?
Young Stygian Lord: I’m not a hobo. I assure you I only look like one because of a series of happenstances.

Young Stygian Lord: Despite having to omit certain trade secrets, I hope you can see I’m telling the truth.
Sharpie: Hmmmmmm...

Sharpie: You don’t happen to work at Paper Rollers, do you?
Young Stygian Lord: I’m... not allowed to say it out loud.
Sharpie: So that’s a “yes”.
