No, as I recall, the exact exchange was:

[people pile into bus]
[most of them pile into the back]
[you and I sit in the ftont seats of the van]

you (to the back seat cohort): World fantasy?

them: {enthusiastic polyvocal agreement]

you: yes, people have a kind of *look* to them...

me [amused, trying to get in on the action]: what about me, then?

you [after giving me a considered look having tilted your head in my direction and apprising me]: almost, but not quite. Which means you must be a pro.

(Yeah, I remember. I treasure that remark [grin])
