Some people just know how to answer questions. I've never been one of those people. You look at Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut and he has an answer for everything. It's a surface answer but it's an answer all the same, and it sounds just right. She says she's moving to Michigan and he says what a beautiful state it is, how much she'll love it, how good this step is for her. I would talk about the death of Detroit and that would be the end of that.
And, sure, he was scripted, a character. But these people exist in the real world. They have a bedside manner with everyone. Everything sounds so good coming out of their mouths. And you're too busy smiling to care that they're nothing saying much of anything at all. I envy those people.
