Rhoades: I’m glad you accepted my offer to drop by. I didn’t like the circumstances you left under.
Howard: Never bad to march with your conscience intact.
Rhoades: Not sure I agree with that. Conscience can be a little bit like those old nonstick pans. It flakes off under heat…what you’re really looking for is a cast iron soul. Durable. Seasoned.
