"You wouldn't believe me where I got this uniform if I told you," Miles says almost sunnily, because if he's going to resign himself to insanity -- or at least the insanity of the situation -- he might as well not wallow in it. There's a definite cracked look all about him, though, the telltale signs of impending mania or just flat-out hysteria. He still hasn't managed to catch his breath, and three guesses as to why that is. "You didn't answer my question."

It's amazing how petulant a fully grown man can sound when he puts his mind to it.
