"What? he's eight!", Hanse exclaims
"Yeah, and he helped her set it up, in fact, he organized them all to help her set it up. If Yvonne hadn't come to find Cynthia? We might've had a major fire."

"YES. Anyway, I need you to sign for some materials for the arts and crafts period...and some real-estate."
