[ You know, this level of unbridled sass for sass' sake all looks very familiar. It's a good thing Bucky isn't looking in the mirror right now. He might actually see something he wouldn't want to face. ]
Are you actually deciphering code to a World War soldier? I could've handled it from context, you know!
[ It would have taken awhile, but... Next time give him a chance before you try to be all cool and explain shit to him. ]
As for the smartphone, I've seen films of space devices before. They were definitely bigger than this one, but it still had the same functionality. And there was a manual that came with it, too. Also some kind of robot voice that you can ask questions. So, why click on a tiny little glass window that is so not designed for ten fingers when this smartphone can translate my voice into words?
Just f y i.
[ You can hear the smug. ]
So, what makes yours so damn special? Wait, let me guess! Because YOU own it?
Space... devices... what, like from A Trip to the Moon? Sorry buddy but real life outdid Jules Verne a few decades ago
And mine's special because I MADE it, which means it's superior to... p. much anything actually
As for the devices here, I already adjusted the interface on one so a kid from the 1500's could use it. Maybe if you're nice to me I'll make one that can accommodate your apparent sausage fingers

that should be ihu. u = you. shorthand
and oh right because flash gordon is way more relevant to kids these days. also it's not bragging if it's a fact. and sure. engineer. except with larger annual income. still trying to figure out the merlin-meets-terminator technology here but once i do i can make you a baby's-first-smartphone, k
I’m not talking about kids THESE days! Stop changing the context just to be sassy!
Also, I have no idea half of what you said means, but I’m not some baby! I know how to engineer, too! I’ve made stuff for my regiment before! You’re NOT as special as you think you are, pal.
Ahhh, glad you asked! It was a real stroke of genius and generosity on my part. I refurbished a projector for my boys to watch some films, and our commanding officer’s car engine just happened to be available for powering it up!
What’s a little court martial for a morale boost, yeah? ftw
Your flattery is insulting! They were newsreels, nothing more. You deviant.
[ Nyeh heh hehn. ]
What? Why in the world is that "internet slang"? You would never use that! In fact, I'm starting to believe half of this slang isn't even real! What have you done to me, old man?!
anyway [he texts as he turns on the shower with his other hand,] g2g. enjoy your newfound shades and stolen look. imitation is the sincerest form of flattery i'm told

Should I spell that one out for you, ya old bat?
And I was thinking more along the lines of Flash Gordon.
A Trip to the Moon was almost twenty years before I was born!
So, you're what, and engineer?
Is that what you're trying to insinuate with your little bragging spree there?

either way what really should've gotten you court-martialed is your continued attempts at internet slang. ftl
