You can't at least come up with a cool-soundin' name for it, son?

Maybe... [He crooks one hand into a 'claw'] "THE ANNIHILATIOR" or... Or should I just call it by what it is? Is "Molecular Dissassociation Beam Projector" better than "Death Ray?" I thought it was kinda classic... [He chews his lip in thought.]

You are evil but want to fix society's problems?

I embrace the term "evil" because I fight against the social structure dictated by "good." I don't need the approval of any petty moral constructs. Nothing is ever permanently solved through purely civil, "nice" methods. Real change takes violence, takes someone willing to do whatever must be done.
So. Uh. That said. Are you an alien? Because I've never met an alien before, but I'm really open-minded about it. I mean, maybe we could have some kind of exchange of technologies, or alliance, or something. As long as you're not trying to invade the Earth. Not permanently, at least, because I'd really like to have a piece of it myself. Most of it, actually. Well. All of it. You know how that goes.

You just... Lactose intolerance is a serious thing, and... Hey, I don't see you eating cupcakes right now. If cupcakes are an accurate measure of happiness, then... well... the world is even more miserable than I thought it was, because the majority of the human race, dare I say well over ninety-nine percent of the human race is at any time in their lives without cupcakes.

So. Uh. Hi. Can we start over? Because the cupcake thing, I was just... I don't know, I guess I was just still a little angry. It's not really a big part of my life, you know.

Right, so...
I can't really tell what kind of earth human stereotype you're trying to embody here. But.
Hey. Sup.
