There are numerous wonderful scenes – the secret entrance, putting on the ritz, the “Abby Normal” brain…but one of the scenes that sticks in my head, and one that, with just a little bit of editing, fits very well with the message I wish to impart this morning, the dinner scene.

I strongly urge you to take Igor’s implied advice. Otherwise, well, maybe we won’t be all that motivated to “put the candle back”…
