With a little direction, Hughes will get Clara to the point where she can enjoy her apple. He's nothing if not a helpful soul, even if he can be a bit eccentric about it.

"I don't know, exactly, but I like all of those ideas. I wonder if my wife will let me wear the cape around the house while I do chores for her..." No, Hughes. Gracia will not let you wear that cape around the house because you're going to get yourself hurt climbing on a ladder with that thing on. You should be grateful she's looking out for you.

"Jaws, huh? That's an interesting name for a shark." He doesn't know the reference at all. Sorry, Clara.
