You know, I really thought this was going to be a lot worse than it's turning out to be. I mean, sure, you put me into some stupid situations, but with the exception of that one thing, I think they worked out all right.

And that one, well, that one didn't really happen.

Okay, but listen. There’s a point to all of this, and it’s not to compliment you on not being a complete failure. I have plans. Things I’m doing. I need to focus on them, and I know you’re all about the distractions. So just leave me out of them.

You want to put someone through some kind of nightmare freakshow? Take out Emo McMopey. Subject him to it. Whatever. I don’t care. This is my official “Do Not Disturb” until at least the supposed end of the world.

Wait, no. Scratch that. After New Year’s. You know, when the world actually doesn’t end.

Moral of the story: my calendar’s full. I don’t have time for you.

Do you really think that will work?

It's gotta be worth a try, right?

Only if you like the sound of your voice a lot.

Well, there's that too. I mean, I have a nice voice. I don't mind listening to it.

You might have to go to the front desk for a Do Not Disturb sign. We're a bit...old-fashioned.

Old-fashioned? Really? So marrying hotels was in back in ye olden times?

Commitment isn't something that's reserved for marriages, Mister Stark.

Do you know about ethical and moral obligations?

You are seriously going to try to talk about morals with me? Really?

Okay. Sure. I'll play. Yes, Jack. I know about them. I also know about commitment. You know, the non-marriage kind. I know it. I know how to do it. I think I'm doing a pretty good job with it, actually.

You have issues letting things go, don't you?

I hope you do a better job of it than you do, ah, what was it? Doubling as a nightlight?

Some things kind of stick with you whether you want them to or not. You have a problem with nightlights now? What? Should I be insulted?

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. I'll go with flattered. No, I'm the insulted one. Keep up, genius.

How are you insulted?

Maybe I'm a bit insulted that I am being called a thing. That one thing. You're dehumanizing me. Taking away my humanity, my pathos, my social value. And so brazenly, too. You don't respect a day laborer, someone who works the jobs no one else will—is that right so far?

Okay, and I can't believe I'm even wasting my breath with this, but that thing I was talking about was you killing me. Not you. Technically, I wasn't dehumanizing you. You dehumanize yourself when you kill people.

And as for day laborers, I don't have a problem with them. I don't want to trim hedges, so obviously there needs to be someone who will do it. Day laborers make up most of the workforce. I do respect them.

What I don't respect are people who try to kill me.

We've already been through that, haven't we? That I'm not usually like that? That it was pretty much a one time thing? We did, and then you accused me of being an abusive father. Isn't that how it went?

Do you want to try that on for size again, Mister Stark? Do you want to bring up my parenting, or should we turn it back on yours?

Maybe I just have a hard time believing that. One time things don't usually stay as one time in my experience.

Sure. Which one do you want to talk about? JARVIS? JEEVES? I've got two of them now and they're both doing just fine.

That could happen because you spout that type of thing. If you tell someone something long enough, no matter how false it is, they might start believing it.

[LOOK AT THOSE EYEBROWS]

Bringing me up—kind of think you're aching for another round of proverbially pissing all over the Overlook. Is that what you're saying?

Emo McMopey? Really? C'mon Stark, you can do better than that.

Oh, so what? I talked you into it? Is that what you're saying?

[ HE WOULD RATHER NOT ]

I think I'll pass on the Overlook. You obviously object to me being there, I'd rather not be mutilated again for stepping foot inside it.

Okay, fine. How would you describe Loki?

[Flatly.] Dead man walking.

I like that. Succinct. Descriptive. Good call, Barton.

I don't make bad calls, Stark.

You keep insisting it's something that doesn't happen only once, what else am I supposed to think you mean?

[AW YEAH]

I hear your fancy building in the big city got wrecked, didn't it? You might need some day laborers to help you out. Won't you need that.

[No, that is not a question.]

It would simply make Father more mad than he already is. Which would.. be bad for mortals.
