[Mr. Chandler meets the mysterious Hecate Livingstone, who confesses her name to Mr. Chandler]

Hecate Poole:
I hate to even say it aloud. Hecate Livingstone.

Ethan Chandler:
Hecate.

Hecate Poole:
Yeah, I know! It's the name of a Greek sea goddess. Mistress of the waves. My parents went through a classical learning phase. My name is the hideous result.

Ethan Chandler:
Why don't you just go by your middle name?

Hecate Poole:
I can't.

Ethan Chandler:
Why?

Hecate Poole:
Aphrodite.
