Carol Fowler: I have never been on a private island before. I’ve never been even on an island before. Actually, you know what? That’s not true. I went with the Heibermans. We went to Mackinac, you know, before they moved to Bloomington. Have you ever been to Mackinac, Renata?
Renata Ortiz: I don’t know what that is, or most of the words you just said.
Renata Ortiz: You got my daughter rusty knives?
