Charlie turned to Don Albert and asked in amusement, “Don Albert, since Marcus Lloyd is a pathetic jerk, what do you think his father should be?”

Don Albert thought for a while and said, “Hmm, since his son is a pathetic jerk… his father should be ‘the father of the pathetic jerk’ then, am I right?”

Mr. Lloyd nodded vigorously and said in a flattering tone, “Yes, Don Albert is right, I am the father of the pathetic jerk!”
