[He takes a moment to consider the week's events.]
I doubt it. But if you look carefully enough, it shouldn't be impossible.

[hmm.]
Is there anyone here who has been told the name and identity of your hostage?
no subject
I don't think I mentioned her until recently . . . By now, I've told a good number of you.
