[Bail is at your door carrying a toolbox and looking at a piece of paper]

Oh, hello. I hope your sink isn't actually giving you trouble. I was sent here to repair it, but I'm afraid that's far outside my skillset.

[Action: John Doe Park]

[Alderaanian culture involves a strong appreciation for nature, so Bail finds himself wandering through the park, examining the trees and flowers and murmuring to himself.]

It's... unsettling.

Mostly everyone, I think. I know it must be hard, but nobody will expect you to do your job properly.

That's a relief. I don't think I'll be learning the decades of experience they tried to tell me I have any time soon.

It's a good job the houses repair themselves here, or we'd be in trouble when we did need plumbers and things.

From what I understand, the town is simultaneously full of women who do have the relevant skills and aren't permitted to practice them.

I'm afraid America in this era wasn't the most progressive of times for women. It's hardly ideal, but many of them offer those skills off the books.

Yes, Leia's found a lot of that very frustrating.

I remember meeting Miss Leia, I can imagine why she would find that frustrating, she seemed like a very capable woman.
