[Ford listens to that very quietly. It is a very, very smart approach. Jon has it absolutely right. That's the safest way to treat him.]
There's a number of ways to get a truthful answer out of him. One of the most reliable ones is to get him angry! When he loses his temper, sometimes he says more than he means to.
...but asking him to put on the truth ring is safer. He got it from another passenger, some warden I never met. It lights up when he's telling a lie. I was skeptical at first, of course, but I've seen it work in the kinds of situations where it's, ah, hard to deny its reliability. Of course, if Bill tells you anything, it's because that's what he wants you to know even if it's true, but I don't think the ring can be influenced directly.
