Thank you. Oh, thank you so much. I can't even--thank you. [she looks heartbroken and like she's had the rug pulled out from under her. and it might as well have been, Jo was in her bed when she went to sleep and gone entirely when she woke]

I would like that very much, Sir. [she attempts a smile back. it's up for debate how effective it is] And I'll do my best to make you proud. I have the Center for the Performing Arts that I'm trying to get off of the ground--although this place insists on calling it the G-String. And it is, but...may I ask that a black velvet ribbon be incorporated in some way?
