Tim, catching Dick schmoozing with the older gentlemen at the party: Dick, why do you always tend to hang out with the older people?
Dick: Huh?
Tim: I get that Bruce and Clark are your best friends - really weird, by the way - but you always hang around the rest of the Justice League too when the titans aren’t there. Or even if they are. And you’re not chill, exactly, with the older villains but you’re sort of? Your older villain frequency encounter is statistically abnormally high among heroes.
Dick: Um-
Tim: And also, now you’re doing the same at parties with businessmen. Women flock around you, as do some young men, but you just flirt with them or brush them off.
Dick: Thats not-
Tim: So why? Is it for business profits? Because Lucius Fox does a spectacular job at running WE- oh, well, I guess you’re the Chairman but is it really necessary? Individually all these events are normal, or somewhat normal, but collated, quantitative analysis indicates a marked deviation from standard distribution. Furthermore, they seem to like you more than “a kid hanging out with the adults” kind of niceness they tend to display. So, why are you-
Dick: First of all, you notice me too much.
Tim: Not really…
Dick: Secondly, I get them.
Tim: “Get them?”
Dick: I’m twenty-seven but I feel fifty. I mean, my joints don’t hurt but I’ll drink to their problems.
