KEVIN: Now that I've adopted you, you'll be staying at the ol' Edo mansion...
SHUKRI: Your home is very modest.

KEVIN: It has 30 rooms.

KEVIN: So you weren't, like, one of these POOR orphans?
SHUKRI: Oh no, no... my family has wealth beyond belief.

KEVIN: Well... cool. By the way, clothing is extremely OPTIONAL here.
SHUKRI: It is so cute that this furniture is not pure rhodium...
