Bruce looks around, not terribly animated, but still well within his own parameters for implying comedic effect. What about any of the gaudy, old-world crap clogging this place up seemed aesthetically conservative? Sure, it'll have fewer doors in and out, because the manor had approximately thirty, all for different wings and suites and servants. But they can pop a garage door opener on a skylight, Kent, yes.
