There are like 600 acres and on the grounds there's this building called the Hall for Prayer for Good Harvests. It's circled by this thing called the Echo Wall.\nWendy Byrde: Ok, ok.\nJonah Byrde: You can go there and even when people are whispering you just hear the same things repeated over and over and over.\nWendy Byrde: Ok, enough. You wanna be a smartass? You want to hate me? Fine."
