Like the Greek philosopher, he is an expert on human behavior. He has studied people for years, learning their secrets.

He spent a long time analyzing me beforehand, asking about my family, friends, work, and hobbies. Then he analyzed my body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues..

When we were done, he told me that my greatest strengths are my intelligence and integrity. I’m not sure how he measured these qualities, but I took his analysis as a compliment.

It was only after I had accepted his terms that he asked if there was anything special I wanted in the car.

I responded with: “The moon.”

He smiled and looked me right in the eye, and without hesitation, said, “You want it all. That’s what I thought.”
