Hiro tries to convince her that he can bend time and space and Charlie's like, of course you can, Tamagachi! Now here's a quarter. Go put something non-crazy on the jukebox. Hiro makes his bowel movement face again and there's a ding in the distance. The other waitress tells her that her order's up. Charlie turns to acknowledge her and when she turns back to Hiro, he has a huge bouquet of flowers for her. She's all, hey! I don't remember a flower store being right here in the diner! Also, that was FAST! Hiro's all, I know! That's because these are from down the street and I've really been gone for fifteen minutes, but I bended time and space to make it seem instantaneous. Also, I already delivered your order to the table. Because I'm nice that way. So, wait -- he can't teleport again because he'll wind up in the dark ages, but he can stop time while he goes and gets flowers and delivers food? That makes no sense. If he can't control it, then he can't control it. But don't make him able to control it sometimes, but not others. I realize he's learning, but let's move his educational process along a bit quicker, huh?
Charlie declares that he's a magician and Hiro again tries to tell her that it's not magic; he has a superpower. He starts to tell her about a very bad man who's going to come and kill her, but he stops before revealing that little nugget of info and tells Charlie that tomorrow, the swallow will slay the dragon. Charlie's like, what, are you Confucius now? Hiro's like, oh, what, so all Chinese people look alike? Charlie's like, you're Japanese. Hiro's like, WHAT, YOU NO LIKE-O NO JAPANESE PEOPLE? And Charlie's like, whatever, dude. Go get some more plates off tables and teleport them into the goddamned future for all I care.
