[ Matt isn't quite sure why he's supposed to be impressed by a man with a lighter, unless John plans to be fighting scarecrows. But after the initial click and scent of butane, he realizes that there's more fire than one would normally expect from just a lighter. And somehow, more direct manipulation of it. Interesting. ]

I'd probably find it easier to agree with you if I knew what those skills were exactly, aside from your impressive ability to MacGuyver a Bic into a flamethrower.

[ Obviously it's more than just that, but Matt's not getting enough sensory input to figure out what. ]
