Ford has no idea what a 'power move' is, let alone that he's just made one. He is utterly oblivious to Dirk's racing thought process. That's probably why he turns to directly address him like this is still just a totally normal interaction.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

So soon, like it wasn't several months ago the last time they talked. When you're nearly seventy time feels like it goes by a lot faster, all things considered.
