"Most of those cliches sound pretty accurate to me," he says, laughing a little. The bootleggers part, especially, hits close to home, but he's not sure how anybody around here would take it if they knew the extent of his involvement in that particular business. From what he's gathered, alcohol is perfectly legal again for the majority of the people here, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't a criminal in his own time. Besides, he doesn't know how drug laws have changed, and bringing up the heroin business seems unwise, too.

"All I know for sure about the future is that you have a second World War. And you have something called cellphones." That's what he's managed to pick up from people so far, mostly because he hasn't been asking many questions, for fear of seeming ignorant. Of course, he couldn't logically be expected to know the future, but as someone who wants to know everything all the time, he doesn't like being at a disadvantage.
