Nate does a nice job of stopping so Charlie can get the full scope of his up-and-down, shrugging for effect. "Family history? They let me in here, didn't they?"

If Charlie wants to go on talking about 'bad family history'. Its a one-off joke -- Nate isn't really interested in talking about it. Hasn't been since he was a kid.

"Wasn't. They consider education to be a workable affair around here," he comments, putting his hands to his hips. "But to tell you the truth, I'm not the biggest fan of the pacing. Military's starting to look more attractive." At least that way, he could get out and explore a bit.

Most of him is joking -- he's not the 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind of guy, much as he runs around pegging suits for standing in his path.
