When Nobody's Watching
by Me.

"Have you seen anything like this before?"
"No... I can't, I can't say I have."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"What now?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"You're... I delegated, it's proactive."
"Well I re-delegate it back to you!"
"You can't."
"Says who?"
"Says... Just says, ok? Where's your sense of urgency?"
"I deal with this sort of stuff all the time."
"You've watched three episodes of X Files and Men in Black 2."
"It's enough. Do you see projectile vomit?"
"Touch it then. Go on."
"And get my DNA on it? Nice try."
"Paranoid. Just take the picture so we can go. I try playing with you but you're no fun."
"I still don't know why you want this."
"There are a lot of things you don't know."
"You really think this'll change everything?"
"Anarchy, my compadre. And it shall be our hombre. I'm being proactive."
"Alright, got it. Zip it up and let's go."
"It'll be years from now but it'll be worth it."
"I know, I know, 'The face of the world changed by a young visionary'."
"They don't make Grand Plans like they used to. And this one's been broiling for years."
"Wait... Did you...? Your uncle... Broiling?"
"Come on, let's kick this place."
"How could you have possibly...?"
"It's not exactly Airforce One. Yet. Here, put this on."
"A sombrero?"
"Figured we'd try to re-enter our great nation the fun way."
"By donkey?"
"How much Spanish do you know?"
"Mi amo es... Should I ask how you knew about these tunnels?"
"There should be one of those trucks around here somewhere. Just look for the one exuding fear and anxiousness."
"I'd say you were completely off your nut but... No, you are completely off your nut."
"'President's nephew caught riding with illegals' - nice ring to it don't you think?"
"Part of the plan?"
"Nah, just fun. Now put your sombrero on. We've got a great big ignorant country to deceive."
"I better make it to school tomorrow..."
