I'd really appreciate it if you could look that reference up. Not because I'm trying to be a smart butt in any way but because it's a really interesting line. I've looked it up The conversation is on page 552-3 Aus hardback but no sign of those particular words?? Weird huh?? I knew the US version was longer (and yes.. I have made many jokes about it being in larger print) but this might finally explain why- you get more HP than we do!
