I hate to stomp all over your ego, there, but this isn't about you, this is about you using me to get an in and me saying 'no'. I'm not going to vouch for a man who I don't know. You've done nothing to prove to me that you won't use Crane or hurt him and I'm not going to take that risk.

You're asking for an endorsement from me, implicit or otherwise.

The answer for the last time is 'NO!' you wanna cure him when I'm looking? Fine. Don't ask me to trust you, cause I don't.
