James complains about people being old...
He already looks much older than his age. I never would have guessed he was 25. Jax is not old enough to be your father. He is all but 12 years older. Who is a father at 12 years old? I think James is very sad because he will be 30 before he knows it without any friends. Yes, it is kind of lame to be over 30 and still working at a restaurant, but at least the rest of the cast seem somewhat mature in retrospect. At least they are paying their own bills and not getting special treatment because their parents are friends of the owner.
