-He tries not to-
"Well, I don't want you to go out of business..."
May: No, no-it's ok-it's not like we make money...that's sort of not what we do...the problem is well...at some point the shop's going to get called somewhere else...
"where?"
May: That's just it! I don't know when or where the shop's gonna take me...

Conrad:"can't you guys just get married?"
-Mel looks at him-
Mel:"HUSH!"
Granny: Yes, get married! Damnit, you've been alone here for so long-
May: GRANNY, SHUT UP!
"...if we do then would you stay?..."
-Conrad smiles-
May: I...can't. Again, our family is bound to this shop...the only way we could get free is...well...
She bites her lip
"what?"
May: ...We'd have to do a blood ritual.
