Kate respects Malcolm deeply. She feels that he can understand her more than some others. It is a hard thing to step away from your family and pursue your own interests and craft a career out of it. She has friends in all walks of life but not many with an overactive work ethic. That makes Malcolm unique. (He's also adorable when he nerds out about weapons.)

"Define real?" Because Kate thinks that they are just using plexiglass ones lit up with LED lights.
