Ryan T. Husk : really , [ " Amok meter " ] I think is the one … Which one was it that we did where he does mention some hanky panky stuff ?

Cirroc Lofton : There was a footling bit . But just the fact that he has this clarity of retentiveness . He call up the time , he remember that someone ’s name , he remember their maiden name , he remembers the acting classes they did or the movie they did together , or whatever play they work on . This is clobber that happened 50 or 60 years ago , and it just comes to the top of his retention like this . He is sharp . And Walter only pretends in some ways to miss a step . So when he ’s missing a dance step , it ’s only because he ’s pretending to . He ’s throwing you off , because he ’s actually with it the whole time . And that ’s one of the thing that you ’re impressed and wonder about , how he ’s able to just recall so many things so straight off . So yeah , I ’m looking forward to the journeying with Walter and going over these episode . I know he ’s starting to get comfortable . And the more comfort grade you get , the more people loose up , and they start giving you better history . So I think Walter is just getting started .
