Mr. Warbucks begins as a pure secondness person: he hangs the Mona Lisa in his bathroom, for crying out loud, because he cares only about making and controlling money (and people and industry and such). | "Every time I see you, you're reading maps and aerial imagery---what are you? a professor or something?" "Logistics ... for the government." "Okay: a secondness person. That's cool. Did you like coloring as a kid?" "Only if everyone stayed in the damn lines." "I thought so." |
