Nobody would believe that you're my dad. Everyone I'm hiding this from, that I don't want asking questions? They already know I don't have any living family.
And I never told them what the one family member I did have looked like, so if they see me talking to an older person that looks just like me, looking uncomfortable? They might assume he's alive again somehow and try to maim you on sight.
[Ominous.]
[The tone is extremely cavalier and it doesn't match the actual words at all.]
Just open the window when I knock, because I can only stay invisible for as long as I can hold my breath.
[He points to his hood for Flapjack to hop back in. Time to go.]
I'll give you a half hour to get back and settled in.
[He doesn't ask if it's a good time. He doesn't ask if he wants time to finish shopping. No, he makes it sound like he's granting permission for a whole half hour. In fact, it almost sounds like an order, like he's used to firing off rendezvous times.]
