Well, um...in order to understand it a bit better, I need to tell you about my life back home. There, I-I worked for this man. Um, who was kind of a big deal because he owned a company which was really big and owned a whole lot of other companies and...you get the idea. He was really mysterious, though...like, he never showed his face to the world and just stayed in his office, like 24/7.

[He visibly deflates.]

And...well, he kind of ruined my life.
