"Mr. Fairchild, aren't you busy?" Ian Monroe asked, tilting his head.
"Busy."
"If you're busy, you don't have to come get me. I've noticed that none of the other kids at this preschool are picked up by their parents. It's always their drivers."
"Ian Monroe, I squeezed time out of my packed schedule to come get you, and you're not the least bit touched?"
"I'm not touched. This is something the driver could have done, but you insisted on doing it yourself. Maybe you're just not that busy."
Evan Fairchild: ...
"Mr. Fairchild, you're being so nice to me... it makes me feel like you have an ulterior motive."
"What kind of motive?"
"You want to marry my mom, but she doesn't want to marry you. So, you're trying to get to her through me. Talk about having an ulterior motive."
He certainly knows his idioms!
'What a great son! "Ulterior motives," he says!'
