Alter Egos

Synopsis: Brendan, a.k.a. the instant ice-forming superhero Fridge, has become jealous of himself over his steady girlfriend Emily's preference for sleeping with posturing Fridge over whiny geek Brendan. Superhero buddy C-Thru would like Brendan to get it together, get out of his Fridge tights and have a good wash. With superheroes in public disfavor and government subsidizing being pulled, its a sad day when they have to haul in Shrink, the last known and captured supervillain. Waiting for nightfall when Shrink can be transported from their motel room, Brendan runs across Claudel, the motel manager who dislikes superheroes, and Jimmy, an embittered cop who can turn invisible for only a few seconds. As Brendan and Claudel start to connect, Brendan discovers a set-up that puts his future, freedom and good name in jeopardy.

- [Yawning]
- On capitol hill today,
the senate will vote on a bill
to cut funding for superheroes.
- They think
they can change anywhere.
The world is not
their changing room.
- Superheroes who are balancing
multiple identities
have a fragile and even tenuous
grasp on reality.
- Since the superheroes
imprisoned
all of the supervillains
over ten years ago,
they have had no enemy to fight.
That, coupled with recent
press coverage of superheroes
living on luxury lifestyles
with taxpayers' money,
has raised questions
about whether the government
should continue subsidizing
the supercorps.
Up next..
[Upbeat pop music]
- No effing way.
- Oh, God.
- I love superheroes.
Are you fishman, man?
- No.
- Which one are you?
- I'm Fridge.
The "F" stands for Fridge.
It's short for refrigerator.
- My name's Jose Maria
de Las Mercedes acostaz.
- Okay.
- People just call me moon dog.
- Great.
That's great.
- Yo, 'frigerator, dude,
you want some?
- You know,
I don't think that I can.
- It's good shit.
- Aren't you working?
- It's off-season, man.
There's no one around.
- I'm kind of on duty, so...
- What happens
when superheroes get high?
- I don't know.
- Do their powers get stronger?
- I don't know.
- All right.
Stay super, bro.
- You, too.
- Stay super.
[Suspenseful music]
- You know, it's funny.
Your name is C-Thru,
but I can see right through you.
Are you working for somebody
that wants to help me escape
or someone that wants
to kill me?
- Shut up.
- You're not doing this job
for the money, are you?
It's for the promotion,
the status you want,
the respect you want.
- Everybody thinks superheroes
win the lottery, huh?
Because they're born
with powers?
No one wants to appreciate
the hard work,
the sacrifices that we put in
every day.
Damn it.
- Feels good
to speak to the shrink
once in a while,
doesn't it?
- Hey.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- Good.
How you doing?
- Good.
Hey.
- I--I was gonna knock,
but then I remembered
that you could--
- see through walls, yeah.
- Right, so I just...
What are you doing
in this place?
- I got a really bad stomach flu
last night,
and I had to stop here,
and so I called you in
for backup.
- Wait a minute, aren't you
supposed to have, like,
a police escort
or something like that?
- Solo on this one.
Cops aren't our biggest fans
at the moment, you know?
- Really?
- I'm actually
feeling better now.
You want to get some breakfast?
I'm starving.
- No, you know what?
I think let's just handle
the prisoner transport.
You and I can get some food
some other time.
- You know,
protocol says that, um...
We can't move him till dark now.
- What?
New protocol?
I'm supposed to hang out
with Emily's mom later, damn it.
- Hey, you know, but there's
a diner right down the street.
Why don't we get in our civvies
and go?
I got to get out of this thing.
My butt is itching.
- I'd rather keep the suit on.
- Why?
- You know, I just feel
more comfortable as Fridge.
- How long have you
had this thing on?
- A pretty long time.
Pretty long time.
- But you got civilian clothes
in the bag.
- Don't look through my stuff,
okay?
Please.
- All right.
All right.
- I'm just--please.
- I forgot.
I forgot how much you hate that.
- It's the weirdest thing.
- But, you know,
you really should
get that thing washed
eventually,
and take a shower.
- I think my phone's dead.
I guess I'll just send Emily
an email.
Where's the check-in office?
- Try where it says "check-in."
- Oh.
All right.
Good.
- All right, I'm gonna, um...
