  • (..) Come on. We're in a limo. Hey, you're wearing your hair back? - Yeah, I just... yeah. - It looks good. - Thanks, Dad. - That was cool when you threw that car! Not as cool as you running on water. That was sweet when you snagged that bad guy with your arm and whiplashed him into the other guy. (..)
