The more I learn about this Timothy, the more I dislike him.

I'd visit you, but I don't think I can without a willing warden. [Crane doesn't think that Pookie will agree to it.] I could ask Rose to head down with some of your books and her rather more agreeable warden, if you'd like?

I'm sure you can. You might even be able to beat someone like Rex in a fist fight.
