From the episode:

Roy Williams:  That kind of storytelling. I really like that notion of it ’cause ultimately that’s what, that’s who we are. Playwrights, novelists, whoever. We’re storytellers and we are creating the proverbial campfire where everyone sits around and says, “Okay, I’m going to sit down. I’m now gonna tell you a story.”
