I've been in this situation once.
When I was a teen I was coming back form visiting my grandparents stuck at the Atlanta airport waiting for the next flight I got caught up in a crowd pushed along until I was shaking hand with former President Jimmy Carter.
I hate Carter personally think he was a horrible president but I was polite and took the hand he offered. Nobody in the airport was rude, I know a lot of people in the south hate him even though was a southerner .
So like Indian Jone and the Last Crusade I was face to face with the one person I didn't want to be
If I were to meet the people running EON I be polite, if I could gather the courage I'd say I like you classic stuff better, I doubt I would say it.
