Speaking for another has its advantages.

Is that so?

I'm not going to speak for you too, if that's what you're asking. You seem capable of making your own decisions, John.

Not what I was asking. Just...call it curiosity.

What is it that you're curious about? I can't say that I have all the answers.

You know what I'm curious about.

...Dad?

Hello, Jack.

I don't... what are you doing here?

I have every right to be here, just as you do.

Such as? I mean, other than not having to care what they think.

Networking mainly. If someone tells you to deliver a message for them, you meet who they are speaking to, don't you?

I don't tend to deliver messages for others. I mean even between friends, they can do it themselves. I'm not their human telephone.

Of course, one could look at the fact that you said advantages and delivering a message and meeting them and yet nothing about delivering the message.

Or I'm just used to dealing with the rich and duplicituous.

*holds up a sock-puppet, looking at it somewhat dubious*

If you say so...

When you can't come up with anything to say.

It's not my place to speak for myself anymore.

No. Do that, and you'll get kicked off the island.

I suppose your punishment would be much worse than mine.
