"Look, I'm trying to suspend judgment here, but I've had enough drama in the last year alone to last me a good five or six, so you'll have to excuse me for being wary."

"I have rooms to let. Considering I just fished you out of the Hudson, first month's free. That'll hopefully give you some time to start over. After that, it's $100 a week, or $400 a month if it's easier. Hopefully that's enough to keep you from doing anything stupid or dangerous."
