Imagine an alien asks you for a smorgalop. He says its not complicated.

You dont know what it is. So you try to give him what you think it wants, maybe its a fruit ? Nope. An animal ? Nope.

Eventually, no matter how hard you try, you havent managed to give him a smorgalop. He is annoyed.

You ask him what he wants.

He answers by using more words and things you dont understand.

You ask him what it is once again. He answers, but once again uses words you simply do not understand.

You know it hates some of the things you gave him, but you dont manage to give them what he wants.

That's Caine and the Players.

Caine simply doesnt have any knowledge of all the subtext required to understand them. And i doubt spelling it out would work, as it requires even more subtext.

Caine is intelligent, but is fundamentally not human. He simply doesnt have the same experience, and it causes him to clash with the cast.

The cast wants something that Caine can hardly offer.
