:42:03
Spoiled, stupid, little stick figures
:42:05
with poofy lips
who think only about themselves.
:42:08
I used to design for gods.
:42:12
But perhaps you come with a challenge?
I was surprised to get your call.
:42:17
E, I just need a patch job.
:42:20
This is megamesh.
Outmoded, but very sturdy.
:42:23
And you've torn right through it.
What have you been doing, Robert?
:42:27
Moonlighting hero work?
:42:30
Must have happened a long time ago.
:42:32
I see. This is a hobo suit, darling.
:42:35
You can't be seen in this.
I won't allow it.
:42:38
- Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now?
- What do you mean? You designed it.
:42:42
I never look back, darling.
It distracts from the now.
:42:45
You need a new suit.
That much is certain.
:42:47
Where the heck
am I gonna get a new suit?
:42:50
You can't. It's impossible.
I'm too busy.
:42:52
So ask me now,
before I again become sane.
:42:54
Wait. You want to make me a suit?
:42:57
You push too hard, darling.
But I accept.
:43:01
- It will be bold. Dramatic.
- Yeah.
:43:04
- Heroic.
- Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy.
:43:09
He had a great look.
The cape and the boots...
:43:12
No capes.
:43:14
- Isn't that my decision?
- Do you remember Thunderhead?
:43:18
Tall, storm powers. Nice man.
Good with kids.
:43:21
- Listen, E...
- November 1 5th of '58.
:43:25
All was well, another day saved
when his cape snagged on a missile fin.
:43:30
Thunderhead was not
the brightest bulb...
:43:32
Stratogale.
:43:33
April 23rd, '57.
Cape caught in a jet turbine.
:43:39
You can't generalize about these...
:43:41
Meta- Man. Express elevator.
Dynaguy, snag on takeoff.
:43:44
Splashdown, sucked into a vortex.
No capes.
:43:47
Now, go on. Your new suit will be
finished before your next assignment.
:43:51
You know I'm retired from hero work.
:43:53
As am I, Robert.
Yet, here we are.
:43:57
E, I only need a patch job.
For sentimental reasons.
