He's mostly gotten the picture that she's very Jewish and posh in a way he'll never touch, but it's somewhat at odds with this very funny, very down-to-earth lady he's seen little snippets of during his rushed meals. (Interestingly enough, he's not sharp enough to catch the time displacement thing - he's just assuming she's from the 21st century, like him.) Lots of questions, no way to ask them. ]
