It would have been cool if it included a scene of Johnny speed-reading a bunch of books on languages...and then he'd be like C3P0...if it showed him speak like, Russian with somebody and it have subtitles.

In SC2, J5 does offer a number of languages to speak to Oscar (though he can't interpret Pig Latin). I guess the implication is that he learned them while at the bookstore, or during his missing (and unspecified length) time spent in Montana. BTW, check out this song about J5. My band just threw it together recently. myspace.com/encyclopediajoneses

Yeah. I found it particularly funny that of the languages he tries to speak to Oscar is Danish. It was correct Danish but with an accent a bit like how it sounded in the James Bond movie where he also uses a phrase. Makes me proud to be a dane.

I am guessing it was Danish Oscar was speaking.
