Billy Kaplan, welcome to your life. You just had to say that things were quiet, didn't you?

[repeatshimself]

Hi, Mr. Stark.

[idmakeitaweek]

[His tone of voice is clearly the one he uses for press conferences, appearances and publicity]

Hi. Good to meet you.

[Only he doesn't know his name and he realizes that after a moment]

I still say it's a super secret boy band. It just has a name now.

Okay.

You're Tony Stark, right? Iron Man?

[idmakeitaweek]

Ah, you saw the press conference. Or maybe CNN. I might have told Oprah too...

Anyway, yes. I am Tony Stark as well as Iron Man.

[repeatshimself]

I don't...understand.

...Civil War? The Skrull Invasion? You at least know who Captain America is.

[idmakeitaweek]

Let me guess...other super secret boy bands or members?

[That would be a no]

[repeatshimself]

Oh my god.

It's like all the personality and none of the experience.

[idmakeitaweek]

I'll have you know the World is currently enjoying it's longest run of uninterrupted peace because of me. I've got plenty of experience.

[repeatshimself]

That's not-

I mean-

It's like...

I don't even know how to process this. Hang on.
