Can I ask you something?
What?
Did you steal that painting?
Well, apparently.
There's security cameras, alarms, guards. How did you do it? According to the news, they don't know who took it or how or when.
Ha! Iko, baby. [Chuckles and looks in mirror of shop] Dad?
No, that's you.
Oh, God. When did I get so old? Where are we going?
Give me your arm. I'm writing Lip's number down in case we get separated. I need your help with this kid Wen Chung, see if I can get him to fail his math test on Monday.
Why?
The STEM charter middle school I want to go to automatically accepts the first kids in each class. Everyone else has to compete for the few remaining spots. I'm number two.
What's your leverage?
Thinkin' I'll play the Black card. Then the poor card. Then maybe even the dead-mom card.
You could tell him you're gay, too.
Ooh. That's a good idea. The gay card's always a winner.
Whatever it takes. But you can't let China steal your future.

Are you asking? Greatest country on Earth.
Right.
No little Chinese communist bastard can ever take that away from you, no matter how many COVID flus they send our way, try to kill us.
