I have two words for you: thirteen

Hey, have you seen the movie The Spy Next Door by Jackie Chan?

In the movie Chan said a sentence:

I have two words for you: thirteen

What does it mean? Or does it make sense? The audience laughed when he said it.

Thanks in advance

It's a joke because the character thinks 'thirteen' is composed of two words, thus revealing his weakness at English. That is all.
