You know, I don't come around that often. In fact, I try not to be in New York for Christmas at all. I think the last time was, what, 15 years ago? That one might have even been an accident. I vaguely recall something about boozing it up in JFK.
The point is, I guess, is that I don't really like to think about your legacy, which is a pretty challenging feat considering how you're always all around me. You're in my genes. I waste your money. I work for the business you started. I look at your old pal on a weekly basis, and I suspect he likes you a hell of a lot more than he ever did me. How'd you swing that one, by the way? You must have been something back in the day to earn the respect of Captain America. I wish sometimes I could have seen that side of you.
But...whatever. The point is...I don't know what the point is. Yeah, everyone called it an accident, but I always simply thought you were too drunk to take that turn and you killed Mom along the way. You were drunk. You were always drunk. Everyone knew that.
And now I've learned recently some things that just shatter that worldview. I don't even know how to begin to process that. What did you know that was such a threat? Does knowing now really change anything? I don't know. Probably not. I just know what it's like to be the target upon which the worst aspersions are cast, so I just wanted to clear the air on that one. Oh, you're still a bastard and I still have a laundry list of resentments I attribute to you. But this? The whole killing my mother thing? Yeah. Yeah, you're cleared of charges there. So...normally I wouldn't bother wasting this, but cheers, Dad. Have one on me.
