First things Quote by S.C. Stephens
““One of the first things Denny had done as Kellan's agent was to have him join some social media sites. [...] I agreed and wondered why we hadn't done it sooner. But the look of confusion, reluctance and irritation on Kellan's face had explained it all. 'You want me to whatbook? And Tweet? Like a bird? Are you serious?' he'd said to Denny in exasperation.””
