"Ryan North By Northwest"

He knew what everyone was looking for
He found a market and capitalized upon it
He'd always look me straight in the eyes when he was talking
He'd give the world a more presentable version of himself

He spoke in terms of what we wanted rather than what he wanted
(He presented his argument in a convincing manner)
He presented his arguments in a convincing way
(And he always had a smile on his face that was never)
Whenever he spoke the room fell silent, not as if they were scared of him
(Condescending, but always cheerful, as if he was just so happy to see you)
But as if they just really cared–

I want to

He's a rookie, um, in a computer part company in Dennis Port, Massachusetts
And he had all of these cars, like, you know, and even more importantly, and he had a deadline coming up with a baby budget, a degreaser, and uh. And, um, he bought acres of my fuckin' land, he'd been working there all day long, I've got the [?]
He's like, come back tomorrow, go to the parking lot, and get your dirty car. There's one vehicle in there, these 32 cars. He gets in the car, backs out of his seat, parks it, headed back at it, and headed in the first [?] uh, it was- fuck. Uh, it was this '67-something car. He said the vehicle was, you know, wasn't decent. It was built [?] (Right)
No, he doesn't even try it, and it was really weird [?]

Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)

Dare I say, an honest man
Dare I say, an honest man
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)

Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)

Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
Dare I say, an honest man (I want to)
