Becket just cuts to It

During dinner, the conversation happened to end up at species differentiation. 

Caleb, the 14 year old, went into a big demonstration of the importance of opposable thumbs.  And then he said:

Caleb:  "So thumbs are one of the most important parts of the body."

Becket:  "No they aren't.  The soul is."

That pretty much ended it.
