[Dammit, Luke, this isn't a good time to play the part of "moral conscience." His expression darkens for a moment, but in a matter of seconds, he's all smiles once again.]
It is rather impressive, isn't it? [He'll just... pretend he didn't hear that second part, heading towards the car and peeking in through one of the windows.] Ah! Locked himself out. Clumsy. But common. Happens to all of us at some point or another.
Hold this for me, would you? [He lightly tosses his cane to the boy before continuing.]
Lesson #1. [Eddie reaches into one of his pockets and fishes out a small, thin strip of metal.] Always carry one of these. They call this a "slim jim," Luke. And you never know when you might need one. It's a useful tool to have, whether you've locked yourself out...
[He moves to maneuver it into the space between the driver's side window and the rubber seal.]
...or you've seen something else that's more to your liking. Remind me to stop by the hardware store and pick one up for you on the way home.
