[explaining to Otis how it's possible Reagan is the actor filling in for him]

I know, it's confusing. Short version: Reagan made a lot of himself. He was a very accident prone man, you know. So he always brought doubles and triples since he was dying all the time. Do you know how many Reagans it took to get through that Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall speech?

[strong-arming Otis into agreeing to join after he says "what if I say no?"]

No would be an acceptable response if we were asking you. One could argue it would even be an acceptable response if we were using the imperative. But no, make no mistake about the grammatical mood with which we're communicating this plan: it's indicative. You will be doing this. You will be helping us. And Reagan will be you for the indefinite future.
