Alter Egos Page #2

- Yeah, I applied

to be one of you guys.

They said my power

wasn't complete enough.

- Jimmy, please?

- No, I don't blame supercorps.

You know, they have

their standards.

Want to see my power?

- Uh...

Yeah, sure.

[Whooshing sound]

- I can turn invisible.

[Whooshing sound reverses]

- Oh.

- But only for 2.3 seconds.

- Well, that's not--

that's not bad.

That's not bad.

I, uh...

You know, there are therapists

that can help you work on that

if you want to hold it longer.

- Nah, it's okay.

I got all the power I need

right here.

- Jimmy, can you please

put your gun away

before you hurt yourself?

- You guys aren't allowed

to carry guns, are you?

[Door creaking]

- No, uh...

[Door creaking]

- Is there a problem here,

officer?

- Two superheroes.

How blessed we are.

- Please holster your firearm,

sir.

- Or what?

Are you going to see through it?

- [Chuckles weakly]

- You know, superheroes

used to be allowed to pack heat,

until one of them went

on a rampage,

shot his wife,

and then shot himself.

- Let me tell you something.

That superhero's name

was restore-o,

and he was a great man.

- Look, we're both

on the same side here.

- The same side, huh?

Then why is the government

cutting your funding

and not ours?

- Jimmy!

Would you please just go?

That's the last time

I'm going to tell you.

- This isn't over.

[Whispers]

I love you.

- [Sighs]

- Can I use your Internet now?

- No!

- Oh, my God.

- And you still owe me

for the mug.

- You are so annoying.

- Sorry about this.

You can charge that to the room.

Hey, I'm sorry that a**hole cop

mentioned your dad like that.

- Oh, who cares?

I'm used to it, right?

- Your dad

was a great superhero.

- Really?

How great could he be?

Either he did

what everybody said he did,

or he was too stupid,

he just let it happen.

- Yeah, well, the supercorps

said he didn't do it.

- Then why couldn't they

prove it?

- Well--

- no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't want to debate it.

I don't want to talk about it.

I've got my own life.

Got my own problems.

Like, for example,

when I don't meet Emily today,

she's gonna hate me,

exactly like she hates Brendan.

Unless I create

another alter ego for myself.

- Don't do that.

- I might do it.

- When's the last time

you were Brendan?

- [Sighs]

Technically, this is supposed

to be my day off.

- You have to clear

your schedule.

You don't just punch a clock

on a mission.

With great power

comes great respon--

- yeah, all right,

I get the point.

Can I call her from your phone?

- You can't use

a superhero phone.

What is she going to think

when she sees the caller I.D.?

That I was going to Hampton bays
