"You've got to know your Shakespeare, but...if you do, collect these texts and you can just playfully kick butt the way wizards do."

Brush up your Shakespeare;
And the geeks will all kowtow.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

He was also one of those people with a freaky talent for remembering names. He could recognize at least a third of the 12,000 people in the company, and usually remembered what they did and some other personal detail about them.
