Alright, I know about your plan. How you want me to zoom into the future about 30 or so years. 1974 was it? Temporarily, thankfully, but I need to get some things straight with you about why this is a bad idea to begin with. Follow along and listen good sweetheart.
First problem: How I look. Not that's is particularly bad but really? This is my future? The future is looking bleaker with every second that ticks down. It's no wonder I settle down with how my looks are failing me over the years.
Second problem: I'm married. Married. The girls aren't going to appreciate that and neither am I. I rather not cross that bridge until I get to it at my own pace. If that takes thirty years then so be it. Just glad I haven't met this woman yet. [Because, lets face it, marriage is for losers.]
Third problem: This is not nearly as far as I want to go into the future! Yes the 70's are a great leap from the 40's, but 2012 is even greater than that! Yes I know I'm dead by that point, but there must be something that can be done. The limitations put on by what time period I was born in isn't fair.
[SIGH. But...there is one more thing.]
And, for both our benefits, lets not get into the fourth problem. The you-know-what problem. ...Not catching my drift? Starts with a T, ends with Stark. That problem. Just because I acknowledge him doesn't mean I have to like the prospect. Can't believe that, with all my parenting, he becomes...well you know what I mean. Wonder what that says about me?
[Not very good things he's sure. Well, he never did see himself as much of a father.]
That all said, has my point been made? Yes it has. Will you still go along with your schemes? Almost definitely. Glad we had this chat! [He claps his hands together.] Now where's the bar in this joint? I'm feeling parched.

And here I thought we were hitting it off so nicely. But I suppose this saves me the trouble of having to spoil you for your rich and happy life. Lucky me.
[AND YOU KNOW WHAT if that is what he has to look forward to when Howard gets back...yeah no let's not even go there.]
no subject
Oh don't give me that! Not that you aren't great, but I like being me. In thirty years I may shake my head at it all, but I'm living in the present. And, in the present, this is not what I want.
no subject
[That is, in fact, the opposite of what he wants.]
no subject
[Crosses his arms and huffs.]
Someday I hope you have a son from the future arriving before you have him. Then you'll see how I feel.
[You just don't get his suffering.]
no subject
[Nor does he want to get it, as a matter of fact.]
no subject
[He's joking of course. Even if the prospect would be hilarious.]
no subject
Somehow, I wouldn't put it past the Mallies. So--70s you. That's going to be...weird.
[Putting it mildly.]
no subject
[As if anything involving his future son ever seems to be.]
no subject
[Maybe he'll find a nice convenient excuse to start a hermitage next week.]
no subject
And maybe not thinking of him as a problem would be a good way to start. [Which is Steve trying to be diplomatic about a subject that's very difficult for him.]
no subject
[Because seriously the future sounds pretty awesome. Better than the 40s at least.]
Ah, don't get me wrong here. I wouldn't say he's a "problem" so much as something I didn't bargain for. In case you haven't gotten the word on the street, I'm not a family guy. And I don't really want to be one right now. Getting saddled with a guy from the future calling me his son is heavy on me.
[Even if he's putting it nicely. Having a son...it's not really a concept he can grasp at right now.]

The Act was repealed two hundred years later however.
[And she's spouting this off in a completely computer-like manner.]

So turning corpses into weapons. Sounds like an interesting theory, but highly unethical. Humanitarians would have a field day.
no subject
Ethics and law are separate in the Galaxy Federation, therefore making it irrelevant.

[He likes his weapons not to be run on the bodies of the dead thanks.]

The Federation and Vector Industries has since found much more effective methods of combat including A.G.W.S, A.M.W.S and Combat-Grade Realians.
