"I have my reasons."
"I don't see that I am called on to answer your questions, Andy Snow. If I want to meet anybody I'll do it."

"Very well. Do you remember the time the horse ran away with me and left me unconscious on the road?"
"I heard about it."
"Well, just before I was knocked unconscious I saw a man on the road ahead of me."
"I think it was the man you met this afternoon."
