"So what you're saying is… you're dissatisfied with the Midnight Inn because you weren't able to find a good partner for your grandson here?" Ripley asked, making sure he understood the answer correctly.
"What is so difficult to understand about that?" Audrey questioned. "This is the Midnight Inn. They have guests from all over. Many of them are supposed to be very powerful.

I blame the way my son raised him. Too much of a work ethic, and not enough appreciation for life."
