KATE
We are certainly glad to be able to watch movies! Mr. Edison do you have any mantras, quotes, or words to live by?
WILL
My words to anyone who is selfish are: restlessness is discontent, and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure.
