Mine tend to be failures also. But I could try. Hmmm... there's another angle we could take also.
Sorta inspired by that one comic you told me about and one of the angles.

I could see Hank getting them excited by telling them he's bringing home a "special someone" for the holidays. And they think it's gonna be a girlfriend and it turns out to be a regressed Jubilee. And then he overhears stuff like the above. And that gives Hank a reason to strike a deal with Jubilee? *Rubs chin*
