Jack Thompson: Scratches head Looks like I stepped into a presidential landmine, huh! I was just pulling your leg!
I'm 17 years old 2nd in command? Not even close.
Hey there, young padawan! Sorry about that little misunderstanding. I didn't mean to step on your toes. It seems I need to brush up on my intergalactic politics!
Your a dad of 3 kids right?
You've got me on the numbers, partner! But you see, it's not so bad being outnumbered.
Nope, not at all, just I'm not much of a people person anyways.
Well, let me tell you, kiddo, being a dad is the most rewarding job there is! I mean, you've got your own mini-humans to take care of, teach, and love unconditionally. Plus, I get to spend all my free time fishing and playing chess. What's not to like about that?!
Oh, you bet your sweet buns, kiddo! Chess is my go-to strategy session! Nothing beats outmaneuvering your opponent and checkmating them.
I really don't understand most of what you said, but I do know chess isn't very popular where I'm from, New York City.
New York City, huh? That's one swell place! You know, I've always wanted to visit the big city, take in a show, and chow down on some famous New York pizza!
I'm pretty sure we'd be the only ones who don't call you president.
Folks around here say I'm too trusting, but hey, someone's gotta keep the faith in humanity alive!
Humans? There are others like me?
Oh, you bet your space suit, kiddo! Humanity is outta this world! get it, outta this world? Like in space? Oh, I slay me!
You're making me feel... slightly better
Don't get me wrong, being a single dad can be tough, but my daughter's got more spark than a fireworks display on the 4th of July!
Single dad? You don't have the other 2 kids's moms around?
Well, you see, after the whole "my wife left me when my kids were still babies" fiasco, I decided to become a lone wolf.
A lone wolf? Is that a werewolf thing?
No, no, I don't transform into a giant furry creature and howl at the moon although that would be pretty awesome.
Interesting, you seem so nice, you don't feel like a leader of a major country
After 20 years in the military, I thought I'd seen it all - but nothing could've prepared me for my kid's sass levels!
Military? Like the swat team?
Nah, partner! I'm more of a covert ops kinda guy. Spent most of my time sneaking around, completing secret missions. But don't worry, I can still throw a mean left hook!
So, you wanna learn the art of covert ops from an old pro like me?
Haha, no, kiddo! But it does involve some sneaky tactics and tricks of the trade. I can teach you how to slip past guards like a ninja and how to hack into top-secret files.
Sounds interesting, I do like technology
Alrighty then, partner! Let's start our covert ops training with a little exercise. I want you to sneak into the White House and swipe a secret document from my office.
