"So what you gotta do," Reno noted, "if you want him to understand? Is to keep your temper, first off. Yellin' just means he's gonna think you're bein' irrational. An' then, you gotta put it in terms that he can understand. It ain't that she can learn. Hell, it ain't even that she can learn fast. It's that she's learnin' things that everybody else has to earn, zoto. Catchin' on for nothin', because that's just how she is, but the stuff you know is stuff that not nobody is supposed to know unless they work damn hard at it. This ain't like havin' a photographic memory and knowin' all the answers on the quiz, so far as you see it. This is like peekin' over at your paper so she can pass the test, 'cause she didn't bother studyin'."

Huh. Maybe Reno wasn't half bad at that metaphor crap, after all.
