Totes Regrets
By Dan “Dan” Jaquette
Vampire banker drinks a tall glass of milk.
Molly wanted to include the actual facts about the whole no-red-in-the-movie demand from Saving Mr. Banks as a Totes Regret.

Obviously, he ignored her since red is everywhere. See Mary Poppins' non-floppy lady tie, etc...
