Even his language is solitary: Dole gets ribbed for his speaking style, the guttural growls, the verbal wheat germ ("anti-dumping; level the playing field; Super Three; may not mean a lot to you, but it's important"), the unpopulated syntax ("Have to look into that. See what happens in committee. Gotta go"). Dole speaks a language all his own.

...moments in life. While singing these tunes, the lights dim and Fitzpatrick appears to be transported to a magical place where life's obstacles are forgotten, and she carries the audience and their problems with her. As an added bonus, Fitzpatrick complements the lyrics on "Wishing" with breathy non-verbal vocals that add an extra dimension to the illusion and broadens Fitzpatrick's appeal...
