But learning includes learning how to fly. [CHECKMATE, buddy.]
Alright! I'll prepare a lesson for next time. Did you know that I studied Egyptology? It was my favorite subject. I can tell you everything about the pyramids, which Dynasty interest you the most?
[He has his moments! And hey, this is actually fun. He thinks he realizes why Peter does that foiling thing so often.]
Totally fair. You know what it also includes? Learning how to build planes and spaceships! Hah!
Ancient Egypt's historical period is traditionally divided into pharaonic Dynasties. And yes, there are mummies, yes, some of them are. There was one particularly nasty curse, when you looked at the mummy your eyes would melt in their sockets!
[C o m p l e t e l y u n f a i r! He glares at the screen.]
Whatever, man!
[Peter's mouth drops open slightly, out of sheer excitement and delight.]
Dude! That's awesome!
[About the melty eyeballs, not the pharaonic Dynasties.]
Did they weaponize 'em? Tie the Mummy to the front of a tank and send it through battle? Oh, what if you broadcast the Mummy on TV or something? Would it kill whoever looked at it through the TV? Or not, cause it's recorded? Can curses travel electronically?

...what's a Dynasty?

I don't... maybe? I guess it depends on the... I'm not sure how the mummy would stick to the...
You know, I'm really glad you're not my enemy.
