[Someone with a healthy relationship with his own feelings and decent communication skills might express that he is hurt, here. He might say, No, Stanley. I'm worried about everything that's been happening, and I'm worried about if they WILL take you in. I don't know if you did it, because I don't have a relationship with you anymore, and that scares me. I hope you didn't, though, because whatever our differences are, I don't want you to go to prison. Of course I don't.
But Ford possesses neither of these things. Instead, he has extreme self-absorption.]
Why am I here? I'm here because I was INVITED, Stanley! I've spent years building credibility in the paranormal community! You have no idea how hard it is to get anyone to take you seriously in a field like this! And now that it's finally starting to pay off, you show up at the only convention I've been invited to, and someone gets killed?! I could have been working on the Hadron Collider, but no, you had to sabotage my entire future! I've worked hard to build an audience for my research, Stanley. Don't you dare ruin this for me, too.
